NCAA Tournament Teams
LSU
2008-09 Overall Record: 19-11 After losing all five starters from its 2008 Final Four team, LSU’s youthful roster put together a five-game winning streak to close the SEC regular season and reach the NCAA Tournament for the 11th straight year. Head coach Van Chancellor might have turned in the finest coaching job of his career. LSU finished tied for second in the SEC despite boasting one of the youngest teams in America. The Lady Tigers defeated Green Bay, 69-59, in the NCAA First Round at the Maravich Center. LSU then gave third-seeded Louisville all it could handle in the second round before falling to the eventual national championship game participants, 62-52. No.
