LSU women’s basketball to face 2-seeded UCLA in Sweet 16
Though they trailed in the second half against the Creighton Blue Jays on Monday night, the No. 2-seeded UCLA Bruins survived 67-63 in the second round to advance to the Sweet 16, where they will meet up with the LSU women’s basketball team.
The Tigers are playing in back-to-back Sweet 16s for the first time since 2013-14, and they’ll draw a Bruins team that sits at 27-6 on the season. It took down Cal Baptist in its tournament opener before dispatching the Blue Jays to advance to the Sweet 16.
LSU will face off against the Bruins on Saturday in Albany, New York, at MVP Arena, though a specific time has not yet been announced.
