Brittany Carvalhido enters her second season at LSU as director of basketball operations.

Carvalhido brought three years of Division I experience to the Lady Tiger program when she joined the squad last season. She served in the same capacity at Rice during the 2007-08 season, and she previously spent two seasons at Tulsa as video coordinator from 2005-07.

Carvalhido, 26, came to Tulsa after completing her playing career at Oklahoma State, where she was a two-year letterwinner on the OSU women's basketball team. She played in 49 career games and earned 12 starts during her two seasons with the Cowgirls.

As a senior, she served as a team co-captain and played in 21 games with four starts, and she was an Academic All-Big 12 Conference selection. As a junior, she started eight games and saw action in all 28 contests. Carvalhido finished second on the team in three-point field goals with 29 and averaged 20 minutes per game.

Prior to OSU, Carvalhido spent two seasons at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College and helped that team register a two-year record of 47-17. A two-time all-region selection, she completed her career at HCC as the school's career leader for three-point field goals with 203 and was the eighth all-time leading scorer (779).

She averaged 11 points, five assists, three rebounds and two steals per game as a sophomore. During her freshman campaign, Carvalhido registered 14.5 points, four assists, three rebounds and two steals per game. Her 113 three-point field goals led the nation, and she was an All-Jayhawk Conference first team performer.

A native of Osborne, Kan., Carvalhido received her bachelor's degree in education from Oklahoma State in 2005. She earned her associate's degree in arts from Hutchinson Community College in 2003.

She is married to Joe Carvalhido, former LSU director of basketball operations and a current staff member at the Tiger Athletic Foundation.
