The LSU Tigers were phenomenal during the regular season, losing only one game, an 88-64 defeat by South Carolina. But then, LSU slipped up in the SEC Women’s Tournament Semifinals and lost to Tennessee 69-67. Regardless, few LSU fans can complain about a 2-loss program with a new head coach in their second season.

Mulkey took over a program that had not played in the Women’s NCAA Tournament since 2018

LSU Tigers head coach Kim Mulkey has wasted no time building a championship program in Baton Rouge. Mulkey took over a program that had not played in the Women’s NCAA Tournament since 2018. Such includes a pitiful 9-13 (6-8 SEC) record to close out the 2020-21 season. However, Mulkey entered the fray and turned the LSU women’s basketball culture on its head.

Mulkey’s squad returned LSU to the Women’s NCAA Tournament with a 26-6 (13-3 SEC) record in 2021-22. As a No. 3 seed, the Tigers defeated No. 14 Jackson State in the first round 83-77. However, a more-experienced Ohio State (No. 6) lineup got the better of the Tigers in the second round. The early exit was disappointing but only the beginning of Mulkey’s work in Baton Rouge.

Next. LSU Tigers tournament history by the numbers. dark

South Carolina is the Women’s NCAA Tournament top-seed and favorite to repeat as champions. Betting against Dawn Staley’s squad to win it all is difficult, but LSU fans are hoping for a rematch. But, of course, such is only possible if both teams reach the Women’s Final Four Championship Game in Dallas.
