The Tigers are dancing once again as coach Kim Mulkey’s squad earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. LSU will open its run on Friday against 14-seeded Hawaii, and it will be playing on its home floor in Baton Rouge.
The Tigers went 28-2 during the season, suffering just one loss in the regular season against undefeated South Carolina, but they fell in the SEC semifinals against Tennessee, a loss that likely cost it a No. 2 seed in the tournament.
Despite earning a No. 3 seed last year, LSU suffered a second-round loss. Mulkey’s team will hope to expand on that result and make a run to the second weekend — if not further — this time around.
