Unfortunately, the Tigers couldn't get Morrow a ring before she moved to the pro level. (The LSU lost 72-67 to UCLA in the Elite Eight.) However, she was still grateful for her time with the Tigers and let it all out during an emotional speech about Mulkey and her LSU career. "Coach Mulkey, thank you for everything," Morrow said as tears began falling.Here's more from Morrow about her time with LSU:

"Coach Mulkey challenged me to be a better person, to be a better player, and she challenged me to be able to make it in the real world ... I'm honestly just grateful for that ...""I had to grow up a lot, and I put a lot on my shoulders to come out and do what I did every night. Nobody in the country did what I did every night. Nobody in the country have done what I did over the four years. And I'm honestly, just proud of myself for overcoming as much as I overcame and being able to it at the biggest level."

Well done, Aneesah Morrow. The WNBA draft awaits.
