LSU’s do-it-all backcourt spark with elite two-way juice
Allison Hightower was a high-usage, high-impact LSU guard whose game stood out for versatility: in the 2009-10 season, she led LSU in scoring at 18.2 points per game and also paced the team in steals (2.0) while ranking among the SEC’s best in three-point shooting (39.8%). She wasn’t just a scorer; she could defend, handle, and create, and LSU trusted her in big moments against ranked teams. That kind of two-way, low-drama engine is gold for a team that wants toughness, pace, and a guard who makes everyone else easier to play with.
