Kiki Rice has manifested this moment



Redirecting back to tonight’s main event. Coach Cori Close’s starting point guard, and the team’s voice on the floor Kiki Rice, has been visualizing this very day for a year.

After LSU eliminated UCLA’s Tournament run in the Sweet 16 last season, Kiki Rice wrote “We will go to a Final Four” in her journal every single day leading up to last Sunday’s Elite Eight, which happened to be a rematch against LSU.

Rice made her biggest and brightest dreams reality.

But she’s still two wins away from a dream few get to call reality.
