<p>LSU's quest for another national championship begins on Friday with a matchup against Rice in the first round of the women's NCAA Tournament.</p>
<p>The Tigers may have slid to a No. 3 seed after coming into the 2023-24 season as the top-ranked team in the nation, but they still possess the talent to make a deep run. Head coach Kim Mulkey has a few double-digit scorers on her roster, including star forward Angel Reese.</p>

<p>Rice should be feeling comfortable as the underdog, though. The Owls had to rattle off four consecutive wins in the American Athletic Conference tournament just to secure a spot in the bracket, defeating a higher seed in each game.</p>
<p>Will LSU overwhelm Rice? Or can the Owls shock the world?</p>
<p>Here is everything you need to know about LSU vs. Rice, including TV and streaming options for the game.</p>
