More often than not whenever there’s a collegiate national championship to be had in New Orleans, LSU finds its way there.
The football program has played for four national championships in New Orleans; women’s basketball went to its first ever Final Four the same year New Orleans was picked to host the event. Now the Big Easy plays host to the men’s Final Four and LSU earned the right to find its way back home. It won’t be easy and of course there’s a giant black cloud hovering over the program but LSU’s got a chance and that’s all anyone ever needs in sports.
