The calendars have flipped to April, but March Madness remains in full effect. Perhaps nowhere is it in more effect than in the Albany 2 Region of the Women’s NCAA Tournament where the NCAA, TV executives and fans have all been gifted the matchup of their dreams with top-seeded Iowa set to square off with #3 LSU in the Elite Eight.
While the Hawkeyes cruised to an 89-68 thrashing of #5 Colorado in the Sweet Sixteen, the Tigers were caught in a battle with #2 UCLA on Saturday afternoon. LSU eventually emerged victorious, but it took nearly all 40 minutes as the Bruins led until just under two minutes remained in the 4th quarter.
