10 most impactful players for 2025 NCAA women’s basketball tournament

6. Aneesah Morrow, F, LSU

LSU has stumbled recently with losses in three of its last four games. Still, the Tigers remain one of the most talented teams in the tournament field thanks to their trio of stars featuring Flau’Jae Johnson, Mikaylah Williams and Morrow. Each averages over 17 points and will likely have big moments in March, but Morrow’s all-around game is the most impactful to LSU’s success. Playing a team-high 33.5 minutes per contest, Morrow has averaged 18.5 points and 13.6 rebounds, the most in the country. Morrow’s 27 double-doubles this season lead the nation by a significant margin, and she is also a strong defender, grabbing 2.6 steals per contest. If the 6-foot-1 senior forward can be an efficient scorer alongside Johnson and Williams, LSU has Final Four potential.
