LSU women shut down UNC's offense

Posted Apr 1, 2008

Turning the NCAA Women's Tournament New Orleans Regional final into a slog, Louisiana State -- owners of the nation's top scoring defense -- found a way to slow down the nation's top scoring offense. In a women's basketball game pitting opposite styles, second-seeded LSU smothered top-seeded North Carolina, clamping down defensively for a 56-50 victory Monday night before a partisan crowd of 5,067 mostly home-state supporters at New Orleans Arena.
