The LSU women's basketball team remains undefeated in the middle of conference play, with their closest win a three-point victory against Arkansas. The Tigers are now +550 to win the national championship in April, according to Caesars Sportsbook.
LSU is No. 4 in the AP Top 25 after spending a week at No. 3 for the first time since 2006. Angel Reese just set an LSU record with 20 double-doubles in a row, passing Sylvia Fowles' mark. Her latest double-double came in the Tigers' most recent victory, 89-51 over Alabama.
The only teams with better national title odds than the Tigers are South Carolina at +110 and Stanford at +400.
Last week Ohio State and LSU were both at +650. But the Buckeyes lost their first game, to Iowa on Monday night, and are now at +800 along with UConn.
The Tigers figure to be favored to remain unbeaten in every game until they face South Carolina on Feb. 12. Later tests in the SEC tournament and the NCAA tournament would follow.
