NCAA women’s tournament: Here’s a rundown LSU and the other three teams in the PMAC

It’s been a foregone conclusion for weeks that the Pete Maravich Assembly Center would serve as a host site for the first two rounds of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

The top 16 overall seeds host the first two rounds, and Kim Mulkey’s team was never in danger of dropping below a No. 4. The Tigers drew a No. 3 seed on Sunday night, and they learned that Hawaii, Michigan and UNLV are headed to Baton Rouge. Here’s some key info on each team:

No. 6 Michigan vs. No. 11 UNLV

Friday, time and network TBA

Records: Michigan 22-9; UNLV 31-2.

MICHIGAN

NCAA bid: At-large (tied for fifth place, Big Ten).

Coach: Kim Barnes Arico (240-118 at Michigan, 416-252 overall).

Scoring leaders: Leigha Brown, 18.0 points per game per game; Laila Phelia, 16.9.

Rebounding leaders: Emily Kiser, 7.1 per game; Leigha Brown, 5.2.

Assist leaders: Leigh Brown, 5.9 per game; Emily Kiser, 2.7.

3-point leaders: Elise Stuck, 57.1%; Kate Clarke, 50%.

Worth knowing: Michigan reached the Elite Eight last season, but having lost All-American Naz Hillmon, the Wolverines slipped a little this season. Michigan had several notable nonconference wins over Baylor and North Carolina, but Big Ten play was tough. Michigan lost twice to conference champion Indiana and once to Maryland, a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament, and they dropped their regular-season finale to 10th-place Wisconsin. The Wolverines 47% team field-goal percentage but ranked 213th in the nation in turnovers (16.2 per game).
