LSU is a -2 favorite.  The total was listed at 133.5.

LSU coach Kim Mulkey won three national championships in four trips to the Final Four with Baylor.

The Baylor Bears combined for 23 regular-season and tournament titles in the Big 12 Conference and made the NCAA Tournament in all but one of Mulkey's seasons.

“You never spend 21 years of your life building a dynasty, and that’s what we did at Baylor. I think we can all agree with that,” Mulkey said Tuesday. “I still have a home there. My grandchildren are there. So my heart will always be there.”

The Tigers have tons of experience whereas Virginia Tech is a newbie to the Final Four.

Elizabeth Kitley is a dominant senior, Virginia Tech’s all-time leader in points and double-doubles.  She scored 25 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the win against Ohio State.

“We’re not just going to the Final Four. We’re in the Final Four. That’s something that means the world to me,” Virginia Tech head coach Kenny Brooks said.

Iowa State: Are They The Underdogs To Look For In March Madness?

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
