The LSU women’s basketball team is again a double-digit favorite for its second-round NCAA tournament game against Michigan on Sunday at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Caesars Sportsbook, official odds partner of Bet.NOLA.com, listed the third-seeded Tigers as a 10-point favorite over the No. 6 seed Wolverines.
LSU beat Hawaii 73-50 in Friday’s first round but could not cover a 32-point spread.
Naturally, most of the second-round point spreads released Saturday are much closer than some of the lopsided lines from the first round. Overall top seed South Carolina is the largest favorite at -25 against South Florida.Â
LSU was in a similar position last year in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Last year, in the second round, the Tigers lost to a sharp-shooting Ohio State team. LSU coach Kim Mulkey has said this year’s goal is to reach the Sweet 16.
If the Tigers do win, it will be their first trip to the regional semifinals since 2014 under Nikki Fargas. The LSU-Michigan winner will travel to Greenville, South Carolina, to face the winner of Princeton-Utah.
