LSU is set to begin its postseason run on Friday at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, when it faces the No. 7-seeded Georgia Bulldogs, who advanced thanks to a convincing win over 10-seeded Auburn on Thursday.
Second-year LSU coach Kim Mulkey’s team finished the regular season 27-1 (15-1 SEC), earning the No. 2 seed in the tournament. She will, however, be looking for her first SEC Tournament win as the Tigers were upset in the quarterfinals as the No. 2 seed against Kentucky last year.
“Our goal is to win one more in the SEC Tournament than we’ve done since this staff has been here,” Mulkey said in a release.
This will be the second time LSU has faced the Bulldogs (21-10, 9-7 SEC) this season. The first was one of the Tigers’ closest calls of the season in which they needed overtime to dispatch the Bulldogs by five. UGA hopes to pull the upset this time, while LSU looks to make a run and potentially avenge its lone loss to South Carolina in the championship.
