Augustus, who led the Tigers to three women’s Final Four appearances before starring in the WNBA and in international play, became LSU’s first female student-athlete to be immortalized with a statue on campus Sunday.
Hers stands alongside those of former LSU basketball stars Bob Pettit, Shaquille O’Neal and Pete Maravich in a plaza that was packed with applauding fans during the unveiling.
"I used to have a teammate that said, ‘I didn’t do this by myself,’" Augustus continued. "And clearly, with everyone that’s here, I didn’t."I needed everyone one’s support and love and protection ... and I just wanted to say thank you," she said. "Thank you for everything that you’ve done. Thank you to Baton Rouge, thank you to LSU, thank you to Louisiana. You’ve always been my motivation, my driving force in making sure that I excelled.
LSU second-year coach Kim Mulkey was among the dignitaries standing nearby. She hugged the emotional Augustus and spoke into her ear before heading back to the arena for the game. Former LSU teammate Sylvia Fowles also attended.
