Johnson knows the importance of having an electric environment at The Box. The Tigers enter the NCAA Tournament 43-14 overall, posting a 30-5 mark at home compared to 8-8 in true road games.
LSU last played at home May 9-11, taking 2 of 3 from rival Arkansas. The Tigers won a 5-4 thriller in extra innings to take the opener and then run-ruled the Razorbacks 13-3 to clinch the series. Arkansas avoided the sweep, winning 7-4 in the finale.
Since the Arkansas series, LSU is 3-2 away from home. Facing Paul Mainieri’s South Carolina team, the Tigers took 2 of 3 in Columbia. They then went 1-1 in the SEC Tournament, defeating Texas A&M and falling to Ole Miss.
LSU is the No. 6 national seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Baton Rouge Regional begins Friday with LSU facing Little Rock in the 1-seed vs. 4-seed matchup at 3 p.m. ET. Depending on outcomes, the Tigers will face either 2-seed Dallas Baptist or 3-seed Rhode Island in their second game.
