The LSU Tigers are national champions in women’s basketball.
This is the 50th national championship in LSU history, but it is the first by women’s basketball.
If it feels special that is because it is.
LSU entered this season as the program that had been to the most Final Fours without even a national title game appearance. It looked like that might be the case again, but LSU went on a 29-13 run in the fourth to beat Virginia Tech and make it to the championship.
The Tigers preceded to call Iowa’s defense disrespectful and scored 102 on it.
