March 31: It's an LSU-Iowa rematch after a wild day vs. UCLA

from LSU Sports Insider · host The Advocate

Beat writer Reed Darcey and columnist Scott Rabalais join sports editor Perryn Keys to discuss the LSU women's long, wild day at the Sweet 16, their thrilling victory over UCLA and their big rematch Monday with Iowa in the Elite Eight. Brought to you by Champion Wealth Strategies. Rab offers up a blow-by-blow of the Tigers' long, wild Saturday, which began with the long-awaited Washington Post profile of Kim Mulkey; continued with a demanding, physical game against UCLA — a 78-69 win, highlighted by knockout performances from Flau'jae Johnson and Angel Reese — and punctuated by two fun exchanges: the first between Reese and someone on the UCLA bench, followed by Mulkey's beef with a Los Angeles Times commentary that originally described the Tigers as "dirty debutantes." The guys also break down Flau'jae Johnson's clutch play in the late minutes against UCLA; Reese's effort down the stretch vs. 6-foot-7 Lauren Betts and why it's highly unlikely that Iowa — led by you-know-who, Caitlin Clark — will miss as many open 3s as UCLA did in the Sweet 16. Reed offers up some things to watch for in the first quarter of LSU-Iowa, how a physical, tightly called game could hurt (or help) the Tigers and how they'll try to defend against the highest-scoring team in the nation. Rab closes out with a prediction on LSU-Iowa and the rest of the Final Four. Subscribe to our YouTube channel!
