Despite rolling into the Final Four with a 32-2 record, LSU enters the national semifinals as something of an underdog. Yes, the Tigers are 1-point favorites over Virginia Tech in Friday's first game — but LSU is the lowest-seeded team (No. 3) in Dallas. And if the Tigers beat the Hokies on Friday, there's a strong chance they'll have to face overall No. 1 South Carolina for the national title.
