LSU punched its ticket to the Sweet 16 in dominant fashion, steamrolling Florida State by 30 points in the Round of 32. Aneesah Morrow flirted with a triple-double, helping the third-seeded Tigers maintain their high-powered offensive momentum.
But despite their seeding, Kim Mulkey's squad won't be the favorite in this matchup. They'll go head-to-head with No. 2 seed NC State, a team that has cruised through March Madness so far, securing 20-and 34-point victories in their opening rounds.
This could be one of the tightest matchups of the Sweet 16. The Tigers are finally back to full strength with Morrow and Flau’jae Johnson healthy, but will that be enough to power them into the Elite Eight?
