LADY RAIDER BB Middle Tennessee vs LSU Sunday on ABC
- Thread starter MTFAN61
- Start date
We haven't had a really decent start offensively since our home game against La Tech March 5th. Middle Tennessee scored 19 points in the opening quarter, & that was 5 games ago. We're due!
MTSU women's basketball vs LSU prediction: Who has edge in 2024 NCAA Tournament second round?
It’s MTSU vs. LSU in the March Madness women's basketball second round. Here’s our prediction for the 2024 NCAA Tournament game.

Thrilled that we got the ABC viewing spot. Can’t wait for the game. Hoping everyone can make it down.
There are still seats available on Seat Geek. Going to be really tough for our Ladies tomorrow , as LSU will sell this arena out. Guessing they had 15k plus for the Rice game yesterday. We were only given 100 tickets on the floor. The NCAA women’s tournament is slightly rigged toward the top 16 teams!
Nice thing about a next day tournament is a team doesn't have much prep time, especially when it comes to the 2nd game of the weekend. We may (hopefully that is) have a weapon that LSU may not be as prepared for. They saw from yesterday's game what Wheeler, Gregory, & Boldyreva are all about. However they didn't see much of Scott. She had probably one of her poorer offensive efforts with a number of missed shots yesterday. We know more what she is capable of than LSU does. We've seen her go for 26 multiple times. Scott seems to be a very prideful player, & from what I've seen usually comes back big time after a weaker than normal performance.
When LSU does its best to lock down yesterday's key contributors look for Scott to be a major key in helping to keep us in the game.

Middle Tennessee vs. LSU (Mar 24, 2024) Pregame - ESPN
Pregame analysis and predictions of the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs. LSU Tigers NCAAW game to be played on March 24, 2024 on ESPN.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance
I hope Insell and his Lady Raiders can make Mulkey cry tomorrow.
Another great interview. It's not the sense of self confidence I like in coach & the players. It's the look of serious determination in their faces. Can we get beat, & get beat soundly tomorrow? Sure. But you get the feel there's going to be some fight put up by the Blue Raiders in Baton Rouge Sunday.

Listened to Insell Jr on the postgame, and I was loving his word choice and tone moving. Said the ladies earned another 40 minutes. He gave LSU all the respect in the world all while having confidence that we can win
LSU's Hailey Van Lith predicted Middle Tennessee's upset win over former school Louisville on Selection Sunday | Sporting News
Hailey Van Lith knew from experience that Middle Tennessee was going to give her former school Louisville a handful in the first round of the women's NCAA Tournament.
Not often you see a coach have a prepared statement about a newspaper article, they must have some good dirt on her or the program. I don't hold Mulkey in high regard so alright by me
It has been. That is holding true today's games too... only 2 more chances really for upsets unless Gonzaga falls apart, Cal Baptist vs UCLA and SDSU vs Utah.
Btw: Looked at my Lindy's 2023-24 preseason magazine today. In the women's preseason top 25 Middle Tennessee has defeated all of the listed Top 25 teams it's played so far.
1st defeat: #9 Tennessee
2nd defeat: #12 Louisville
Next up Sunday afternoon is #1 LSU

The women's tourney is never gonna have the same kind of magic as the men until they get rid the way they do regional sites. How many teams that host don't make the Sweet 16? My bet is very few. Heaven forbid UConn has to play in Pittsburgh instead of Storrs.
Coaches at all the major programs love talking about growing the game, but they don't want to take the steps necessary to make it happen

watching the #4 seed Gonzaga up 24 on UC Irvine, amazing how thier wbb has blown up in the last few years.
BTW, I doubt there's much money to be share from the ncaa in wbb post season, but is there none? Or is there a small amount to get as you advanced???

I've wondered that as well and found this article from 2021 that says no money is earned for wins in the women's tournament. "If No. 1 seed Stanford wins the women’s NCAA Tournament, the Pac-12 won’t get a single penny for it. Unlike the men’s version, there’s no compensation for participation from the NCAA for either Stanford or its athletic conference. Women’s March Madness appearances aren’t factored into the NCAA’s annual distributions the way participation in the men’s tournament is."

Differences between the men's and women's NCAA tournaments have come under scrutiny. There are even bigger disparities in the finances.

Here's a 2023 article saying the same thing, "In the men’s tournament, a conference receives one 'unit,' worth more than $339,000 this year, when a member school plays a game (except for the national championship game). But there aren’t similar payouts tied to success in the women’s tournament."

I thought about that earlier as well. If it was 20 years ago I could understand that. But the women's game has grown so much in the last 10 years the fact that not one red cent is compensated to the schools come ncaa tournament time is awful. There is literally no telling the increase in viewership that has taken place the last 3-5 years.I've wondered that as well and found this article from 2021 that says no money is earned for wins in the women's tournament.

If there wasn't large sums of money being made in the women's tournament now I don't think we would be seeing 4 hour blocks on ABC being set aside for only 2nd round games. If women's basketball was still small time they would yield everything to ESPN+, or at best wait till the Final 4 to go national on ABC. But to start selecting 2nd round matchups on one of the 4 major networks tells you there's money being made.
I understand networks wanting all the money for themselves, but shame on the NCAA for not being on top of this.

These 2 programs are also connected because of Sue Gunther. Coached at Middle from 1962-1964 & LSU from 1982-2004
MT History of the series is incorrect on goblueraiders.com. It incorrectly states LSU leads the series 3-1. It omits the one game that then #8 ranked LSU visited the Murphy Center on 12/28/2007 and lost. How the hell could that be omitted?!?!?!
