Kim Mulkey and the LSU Tigers will begin the program's quest at a National Championship next weekend with the program receiving its path to the Final Four on Sunday night.

In what will be another highly anticipated NCAA Tournament, Mulkey and Co. will host the First and Second Round in Baton Rouge with the opportunity to compete in Baton Rouge next weekend.

LSU will host No. 15 Jacksonville in the first-round in the PMAC. The LSU/Jacksonville winner will face the winner of No. 7 Texas Tech and No. 10 Villanova. Games will be played on Friday and Sunday in the PMAC with tip times coming later in the week. Tickets will be available on LSUtix.net, starting on Monday at 10 a.m. CT. 

The Tigers are in the Sacramento 1 Regional. Along with LSU, the other three top-four seeds are No. 1 UCLA, No. 3 Duke and No. 4. Minnesota. 

But what does the entire NCAA Tournament look like? Where will the Tigers head if LSU escapes the first weekend?
