The Tigers road to Minneapolis is set.
LSU earned a 3-seed in the NCAA Tournament’s East Regional. The Tigers opening game will be against the Yale Bulldogs Thursday in Jacksonville. Tip off will be announced at a later time.
Yale (22-7) won both the Ivy League regular season title and the league’s tournament title. LSU and Yale have only played once, a game back in 1969 that the Bulldogs won 97-94.
As a whole, the Tigers are the No. 11 overall seed in the tournament. LSU is grouped with Duke, the tournament’s No. 1 overall seed.
