Live Updates: Virginia Tech, L.S.U. Playing in Women’s Final Four
Kris RhimLouisiana State fans could let out a sigh of relief as Angel Reese made the first basket of Friday night’s Final Four matchup between L.S.U. and Virginia Tech. The last time Reese was on the floor, she had her worst shooting game of the season against Miami in the round of 8. Reese missed her first nine shots, finishing the game 3 of 15 from the field.
The Tigers escaped Miami barely in that game because their defense held the Hurricanes to 42 points. Still, it seemed clear that L.S.U. could not have that kind of performance against No. 1 seed Virginia Tech, which scored 84 points and knocked down eight 3-pointers in its round-of-8 win over Ohio State.
