There's a bit more left to accomplish for this LSU Tigers squad once they get to Dallas, but that wasn't about to temper the celebration as they reveled in being the owners of the Greenville regional.
The Tigers took down 9th-seeded Miami 54-42 to punch LSU's first trip to the Final Four since 2008, and a remarkable ascendance in the second year of the Kim Mulkey coaching era.
And there's nothing quite like cutting a net off the rim to take home as a souvenir, something Mulkey knows pretty well. Scroll below for some of the best videos and photos documenting the wild scene after the thrilling run through the Elite Eight.
Mulkey climbed a purple and gold ladder this time to strike a familiar pose, surrounded by her family and players. That group included former LSU baseball star Kramer Robertson, who was in the St. Louis Cardinals system in 2022. The trip to Dallas will mark Mulkey's fifth Final Four as a head coach, also qualifying with Baylor in 2005, 2010, 2012 and 2019. Her teams won the title in three of those seasons (all by 2010).
The Tigers will be be back in action of Friday and will face the winner of Ohio State (3) vs Virginia Tech (1), which is set to tip off at 8 p.m. Monday evening. The other half of the Final Four will feature the winners of Louisville (5) vs Iowa (2) and South Carolina (1) vs Maryland (2).
