LSU’s Angel Reese became the first Lady Tiger on Wednesday to be honored as an Associated Press first-team women's basketball All-American since Sylvia Fowles in 2008.

Which absolutely makes sense since Reese, the SEC’s leading scorer (23.4 ppg) and rebounder (15.5) heading into this week’s NCAA tournament, has 28 double-doubles which broke the LSU single season record of 27 held by Fowles.

Also on Wednesday, Reese was named to a USBWA (United States Basketball Writers Association) first-team All American.

Reese had a double-double in the first 23 games of the season, the longest streak in LSU history and the longest streak by a SEC player ever to begin a season.

She’s had five games with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds to lead the nation. Her LSU record 28 rebounds vs. Texas A&M on Jan. 5 is the most by a player in the SEC since the conference started sponsoring women’s basketball during the 1981-82 season.

Reese will likely finish the season as the fourth women's player in SEC history to lead the league in scoring and rebounding in the same season.

The others are Marsha Williams, South Carolina, 21.4 points, 11.3 rebounds in 1992, Wendy Scholtens, Vanderbilt, 21.4 points, 10.7 rebounds in 1991, 25.1 points, 11.4 rebounds in 1990, 22.5 points, 10.9 rebounds in 1989 and Katrina McClain, Georgia, 24.9 points, 12.2 rebounds in 1987.

LSU is hosting an NCAA first/second round regional. The third-seeded Lady Tigers (28-2) open play Friday at 4:30 p.m. vs. Hawaii.
