The LSU women’s basketball team will be heading down to the tropics over Thanksgiving break as the team competes in the Cayman Islands Classic. Now, the Tigers know who they will face in those contests.
LSU will face Niagara on Nov. 24 at 12:30 p.m. CT followed by a matchup against Virginia the following day at 4 p.m. Both contests will take place at John Gray Gymnasium in George Town, Cayman Islands.
Niagara is coming off an 18-13 season and appearance in the WNIT. The Cavaliers went 15-15 last season and were invited to the WNIT but ultimately declined with too few players available due to injury.
Ready to ball in paradise at the @CaymanClassic 🏝
