LSU to host Sweet 16 sendoff for women’s basketball team at Tiger Stadium on Wednesday
After winning its first two NCAA tournament games on its home floor in Baton Rouge against Hawaii and Michigan, the No. 3-seeded LSU women’s basketball team is hitting the road to face No. 2-seeded Utah at the Sweet 16 in Greenville, South Carolina.
LSU will host a sendoff for the team before it leaves for Greenville on Wednesday at noon CT in front of Tiger Stadium’s Gate 6 across from the athletic administration building, according to a release. Fans commuting off-campus are permitted to park in lot 404.
The Tigers sit at 30-2 on the season and won their first two games by scores of 23 and 24, respectively. The contest against the Utes on Friday will be their toughest of the tournament so far, however. That game tips at 4 p.m. in Bon Secours Wellness Arena and will be televised on ESPN.
