The most overt totals of the 2021 LSU softball season might not scream that this team was one of the best in program history. However, a deeper dive proves that what this team accomplished is flat out remarkable.
LSU isn’t the type of program that is going to be over the moon for finishing just short of a title, but this was a gauntlet of a schedule for the Tigers. The Tigers entered Memorial Day weekend fifth in RPI, with three of the four teams ranked ahead of them having won their Super Regional. The Tigers still had an impressive enough resume to host a Super Regional even though they had 21 losses, most of any team in the top-10 of the RPI with the top-4 teams having a combined 23 losses.
