Versatile LSU forward with scoring punch, rebounding bite, and veteran poise
In the 2001-02 season, Ke-Ke Tardy averaged 9.6 points and 4.9 rebounds for LSU, showing the kind of inside-out versatility that makes coaches smile and opponents sigh. She brought real two-way value, finishing second on the team in blocked shots in 2001-02 and stacking up big-effort games, including a 20-point, 9-rebound outing and multiple double-doubles. The separating factor: she was known as a steady, high-IQ forward who could play both small and power forward, with toughness, consistency, and an academic profile that suggests dependable, coachable leadership.
