    Flau'jae Johnson's legacy at LSU: A lasting impact on and off the court

    The LSU women's basketball team wraps up its regular season this weekend, and that means the final run for senior Flau'jae Johnson, a singular character in program history. Johnson has excelled on the court, winning a national title as a freshman and becoming a team leader as she approaches 2,000 career points, but also is a burgeoning star off the court with three recorded hip-hop albums and several big-time performances. Our LSU Sports Insiders talk about the impact of Flau'jae at LSU as well as a short preview of tonight's Tennessee game and a look at LSU's seeding possibilities in the NCAA tournament.
