The Opening Betting Lines: LSU Women's Basketball vs. Florida State in Round of 32

Kim Mulkey and the LSU Tigers will take on the Florida State Seminoles on Monday in Baton Rouge with both programs set to battle it out for a spot in the Sweet 16.

Mulkey and Co. are coming off of a lopsided First Round win over San Diego State with the Tigers reaching the Round of 32.

Now, the stage is set for a challenging matchup in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center between a pair of firepowered offenses.

"What do we need to improve on? Well, I'm going to always say defense. Make your free throws. We're getting ready to play a very talented Florida State team, leading scorer in the country," Mulkey said on Saturday.

"We've got our hands full. They have so much length and they alter shots, and they're athletic. They just get over screens, and they run. It's going to be quite a challenge for us. I hope we're a challenge for them."
