Clearing the hurdle
The LSU women couldn't seal the deal on Sunday night in the SEC women's basketball tournament championship.
There is no great shame in losing to Tennessee. Certainly, no great shame in losing to Tennessee in NASHVILLE.
What is a little disturbing is past history.
LSU beat Tennessee in Knoxville this season and lost to the Lady Vols in the tournament. Been there and done that.
Unfortunately, LSU's program is at a point where until the Lady Tigers win a Final Four game, there will always be doubts from outside observers. No longer is getting to the Final Four enough. The novelty of that has worn off quickly. Now it's about getting there and winning there.
