For the first time since 2015, the Tigers are back in the NCAA tournament. This year LSU is the No. 3 seed in the East Regional and open NCAA tournament play against the No. 14 seed Ivy League champion Yale Bulldogs. Tip off is set for 11:40 and will be broadcasted on TruTV.
The three-seed is LSU’s highest ranking in the tournament since being a No. 1 in 1981. LSU and Yale have only met on the hardwood once, a game that Yale won 97-94 back in 1969. Despite a lack of history between the two, LSU and Yale play a similar style of ball.
