The LSU women’s basketball team began the season with high expectations, sitting as the consensus No. 1 squad after winning the national title last season.
But after an up-and-down start to the season, the Tigers were only projected as a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament in the initial seeding reveal last month.
After a seven-game winning streak, things have changed, however. The committee updated its seeding on Thursday night with LSU now being bumped to the three-seed line. That reveal came before the Tigers’ 80-54 road win over Georgia, which clinched the No. 2 seed and a double bye in the SEC Tournament in Greenville, South Carolina, next week.
The NCAA has projected LSU as a No. 3 seed for the NCAA Tournament!
