On Monday Night, the LSU Lady Tigers advanced to their third straight Sweet 16 with a massive NCAA Tournament win over the Florida State Seminoles. Heading into the matchup, there were a ton of predictions that LSU would lose as Florida State has the Nation's top scorer along with the length on defense to dominate any opponent.
Instead of being upset, the Lady Tigers dominated Florida State in the second half winning this game 101-71. After the game, Kim Mulkey showed appreciation for the feat while also sending a message that will have LSU Women's Basketball fans running through walls.
"We don't play to get to Sweet 16s at LSU women's basketball anymore, but we don't take it for granted. We're trying to make a final four and upset someone you're not supposed to beat. We weren't expected to win in 2023, so let's see what we can do."Kim Mulkey
From Kim Mulkey, this is one of the most incredible messages to send and an incredible flex as LSU has now reached the Sweet Sixteen in three straight seasons. After LSU landed Kim Mulkey, the trajectory of the Women's Basketball program has been completely transformed which is a testament to her track record as a Head Coach.
The next matchup for LSU is against the NC State Wolfpack and while they're a higher seed than LSU, the Tigers have already won in this matchup this season and should be expected to win again.
The upset win Kim Mulkey is referring to will most likely need to come in the Elite Eight when LSU faces off against the Nation's top seeded UCLA Bruins. The Lady Tigers have all the talent you could ask for and this roster feels like LSU's best under Mulkey which has everyone excited to see what this team can do next weekend.
