After losing to Texas, the LSU women’s basketball bracketology was updated.
Following their 56-49 loss to Texas in the SEC Tournament semifinals, the LSU women’s basketball team’s bracketology projections have been updated. Despite the defeat, ESPN’s bracketologist Charlie Creme still projects LSU as a No. 2 seed in the Spokane Region 2.
This projection aligns with other analyses, indicating that the Tigers are likely to maintain their No. 2 seed status in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
The loss to Texas marked LSU’s third defeat in their last four games. Compounding the team’s challenges, star forward Aneesah Morrow re-aggravated a mid-foot sprain in her left foot during the game, exiting early in the third quarter and not returning. Additionally, leading scorer Flau’jae Johnson has missed three recent games due to shin inflammation.
Despite these setbacks, Coach Kim Mulkey has expressed confidence that both Morrow and Johnson will return for the NCAA Tournament, where LSU is set to host the first weekend.
The team’s ability to advance in March Madness may hinge on the health and performance of these key players.
In the latest bracketology updates, LSU is projected to face a challenging path in the tournament. The Tigers are placed in a bracket alongside top-seeded teams such as South Carolina, Texas, UCLA, and USC. Potential matchups against formidable opponents like Duke, Kentucky, and Oklahoma could pose significant challenges for LSU.
As Selection Sunday approaches on March 16, the Tigers will focus on recovery and preparation to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. The team’s resilience and adaptability in the face of recent adversities will be crucial factors in their postseason success.
