In what might be the best matchup of the women’s March Madness tournament to date, the reigning-champion LSU Tigers take on the UCLA Bruins in the Sweet 16 this Saturday afternoon (1:00 p.m. ET, ESPN, live streaming on Sling). We’re diving headfirst into this clash, analyzing the odds and unveiling our best bets to advance to the Elite Eight.
Does LSU have the juice to get back to the national championship? If it survives the loaded Albany 2 region — outlasting UCLA, Iowa, and Colorado — a repeat is certainly not out of the question. The Lady Tigers have won 12 of their past 13 games, with the only loss coming at the hands of undefeated South Carolina.
