March 18: March Madness is here; plus two of LSU's global celebrities

Beat writer Reed Darcey and columnist Scott Rabalais join sports editor Perryn Keys to break down LSU's draw in the NCAA women's basketball tournament, as well as a couple check-ins on two LSU international celebrities: Livvy Dunne and Maggie Mac Neil. Brought to you by Champion Wealth Strategies. Reed and Rab take a long look at the Albany 2 bracket, which includes No. 1-seeded Iowa, No. 2 UCLA, No. 3 LSU, No. 4 Kansas State and No. 5 Colorado — the latter of which upset LSU in their season opener all the way back in November. We also break down the four teams coming to Baton Rouge this weekend for the first and second rounds. LSU faces No. 14-seeded Rice, and Hailey Van Lith's team, No. 6-seeded Louisville, faces No. 11 Middle Tennessee. The guys also discuss the health status of Last-Tear Poa, Angel Reese and Mikaylah Williams — and whether LSU is deep enough to make it through and return to the Final Four. Reed also explains why LSU is playing its best basketball of the season. Rab takes a quick look at the LSU gymnasts, who are headed to the SEC championships Saturday in New Orleans, and whether Livvy Dunne will return for another year. We then close out with a quick look at LSU swimmer Maggie Mac Neil, who won gold for Canada in the 100 butterfly in the 2021 Olympics and will try to do so again this summer in Paris.
