After a hard-fought loss in the SEC Tournament Championship Game, LSU is ready to bounce back.
The official Twitter account of the Tigers’ basketball team dropped a highlight-filled hype video ahead of LSU’s First Round clash with St. Bonaventure.
Basketball fans everywhere were surprised that Will Wade’s squad was given an 8 seed after advancing to the SEC Tournament final and taking Alabama (a 2 seed in the Big Dance) to the wire. After the game, Cameron Thomas and Trendon Watford were named to the 2021 SEC All-Tournament Team.
LSU is 18-9 heading into Saturday’s showdown with 9-seed St. Bonaventure. In the first-ever meeting between the Tigers and Bonnies, ESPN’s Basketball Power Index gives LSU a 51.2 percent chance to win and advance to the Round of 32. The game is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. ET/12:45 p.m. CT on TNT.
LSU is no stranger to the Big Dance, as the program makes its 23rd appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The video below features some memorable March Madness Tiger highlights mixed in with clips from the 2020-21 season.
