When the bracket was released last Sunday, LSU fans hearts collectively sank when they saw the Tigers were placed on the dreaded eight seed.
While the 8/9 game has been a historical coin flip, the winner usually doesn’t make it past the second round. One seed’s are 120-19 in the second round, good for an 86 win percentage. But LSU is no ordinary No. 8 and Michigan came into the tournament as the weakest of the four No. 1 seeds.
