AAC transformed for NCAA Women's Final Four
The NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four starts Friday in Dallas. Preparations are already underway at the American Airlines Center.
The last time LSU made it to the Final Four was in 2008. The team is looking to have its best season in program history under head coach Kim Mulkey.
Mulkey was Baylor's former head coach, and she turned that program around as she took over, winning three national titles.
"It's very exciting to have a second Final Four here and the fact that it is not only the Division 1 here but it's also Division 2 and 3 championships. We are celebrating as a columniation of the 50th anniversary of Title 9 so it’s a very special time to be celebrating women’s basketball and sports in general," said Monica Paul, the Dallas Sports Commission executive director.
