The Tigers are coming off a 69-67 SEC tournament semifinal loss to Tennessee. LSU is the No. 3 seed in Greenville Region 2 at 28-2 overall. They have +1800 odds to win the national championship.
The LSU-Hawaii winner will play whoever wins between UNLV and Michigan, which tips off at 2 p.m. Friday at the PMAC. The Wolverines are 2-point favorites in that game. The second-round game will be played on Sunday.
