PHOTOS: LSU women’s basketball advances to Elite Eight with win over Utah in Sweet 16

The Tigers were able to hang on in a thriller on Friday night.

The Tigers are moving on to their first Elite Eight since 2008.

The LSU women’s basketball team defeated Utah in the 2023 women’s NCAA tournament’s Sweet 16 on Friday night 66-63 thanks in large part to a pair of clutch free throws from [autotag]Alexis Morris[/autotag] to give the team a late lead.

With the seed upset over No. 2 Utah, the Tigers move on to face Miami in the Elite Eight on Sunday. The No. 9-seeded Hurricanes are coming off a pair of upsets having knocked off No. 1-seeded Indiana in the second round and No. 4 Villanova in the Sweet 16 earlier in the day Friday.
