Let's Talk Women...

The Lady Tigers from LSU earned their second straight trip to the Final Four last night by beating Duke 59-49. They will meet up against Baylor this weekend for a chance to play for the title.
Cold-shooting had the Tigers down 12 points early, but then the shots started falling and the defensive intensity was turned up.
The Lady Tigers are a fun team to watch, led by senior point guard Temeka Johnson. Of course it doesn't hurt to have All-American Seimone Augustus around, too. But the offense rolls with Johnson on the court. LSU never seems to settle for a three-pointer and are actually ranked close to last in the country in that category. But it's because they don't have to shoot three-pointers with Johnson getting everyone good shots. A few weeks ago, she racked up 17 assists in a conference tournament game.
