Hill and Ward To Represent LSU on SEC Basketball Leadership Committee

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Justice Hill of LSU Men’s Basketball and Emily Ward of LSU Women’s Basketball traveled to the Birmingham SEC offices on Friday and Saturday to take part in the conference’s Basketball Leadership Council annual meeting

Hill is entering his first season as a Tiger after making the leap from Murray State with first-year LSU head coach Matt McMahon. Ward is in her final season with the women’s basketball program where she has been a walk-on the past three seasons.

The council consists of one male representative and one female representative from each of the SEC’s 14 institutions. The goal of the leadership council is for student-athletes to serve as a conduit of communication from their teams to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience, student-athlete wellness, and to provide feedback on proposed rules governing the SEC and NCAA.

The Men’s Basketball Leadership Council and the Women’s Basketball Leadership Council comprise two components of the SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Council. The third component is the Football Leadership Council, which meets each February.
