The Sweet 16 Start Time: LSU Women's Basketball vs. North Carolina State Matchup

Kim Mulkey and the No. 3 seeded LSU Tigers took down the Florida State Seminoles on Monday night in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center behind a complete effort from top to bottom.

The Tigers were led by sophomore Mikaylah Williams despite early foul trouble, but the contributions from the entire roster led the program to an impressive second half run.

"I said this in the playoffs: Everybody has got to be on the same page. And I feel like two games we’ve proven we’re on the same page. Everybody’s got to be healthy," Mulkey said on Monday.

"I felt Flau’Jae might have hurt herself, but what she said happened when I took her out early, she bumped knees. She bumped knees with somebody.

"For [Flau'Jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams] to get in foul trouble and Shay to get in foul trouble and our players on the floor, our bench players to really just keep competing and to go in at halftime up one, that was big for us. That was big for us. That was big for their confidence."

Now, it's a date against the North Carolina State Wolfpack for the Tigers this weekend in the Sweet 16 with Mulkey looking forward to a foe the program faced earlier this season.

"I recall that I love Wes, their coach, Moore. Great guard play. Great guard play. We were able to beat them, and Wes was very complimentary of our team after the game," Mulkey said.

"So you’ll see outstanding guard play. I think it will be two well-coached teams. And we’re vying to win one more game to get to an Elite Eight. They beat some good teams in the ACC. So they’re probably much better today than they were when we played them, and I hope and think that we’re much better."
