It’s that time of year when college basketball starts to heat up.
Conference play is in full swing and the NCAA Tournament is less than two months away. Over the next month, resumes will be solidified as teams jockey for better seeding.
[autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] and the LSU women’s team remain well-positioned. They aren’t off to the 22-0 start they had last year, but an 18-2 record will do.
LSU has its toughest test yet this week, facing Dawn Staley’s South Carolina team.
The Gamecocks overtook LSU as the title favorite earlier this year. According to FanDuel, South Carolina’s national championship odds are +290.
LSU didn’t fall far, though. The Tigers’ +500 odds rank second nationally, just in front of UCLA, Iowa and UConn at +600.

Despite the 18-2 record, LSU fell after some inconsistent play throughout the first two months. This week’s contest against South Carolina is a chance for LSU to add a signature win to its resume as it looks to push for a top seed in March.
