“The atmosphere in the PMAC is just crazy. It’s definitely something I’ve never seen before,” Hines said per LSU website. “Everyone is so supportive of girl’s basketball, and before I even committed, everyone was telling me, ‘Oh, come to LSU. This is the place you want to be.’

Joyner, who transferred to LSU on April 15, played three seasons for the Pirates. Last season, she averaged 15.0 points on 48.1% shooting, including 22.2% from behind the arc and converted 63.5% of her shots from the charity stripe.
