“Wanna Talk Sh*t?”: LSU’s March Madness Triumph Leaves Shaquille O’Neal Overjoyed

The roars from LSU basketball were loud tonight. The women’s basketball team just completed their inspiring win over the top-seeded Virginia Tech in the Final Four. In what was a battle of heart and grit, both sides didn’t back down. It was a contest that could have gone either way. However, at the final buzzer, it was the Tigers who showed perseverance. Celebrations were underway right as LSU booked a ticket to the Final. One man who joined in on the celebration was none other than LSU alumnus Shaquille O’Neal.

The history between Shaq and LSU is rich and iconic. He is arguably the most important athlete in Tigers’ history. Before his NBA success, Diesel made national headlines by intimidating his opponents in college. It was the first time the world would come to know of his dominance. However, in his three years at college, the only regret the now 51-year-old holds is never winning a National Title. If not as a player, Shaq has a chance to feel the rush of a national championship thanks to the LSU women’s basketball team.

For the first time in the history of LSU’s women’s basketball, they are heading to the final. Emotions leaked out as the players bathed in the glory. And it was well justified, as for the first time in their history, they have a chance to be called champions.

For the longest time, the four-time NBA champion has waited for a basketball championship to enter through those college doors. And that hope is rejuvenated after the Tigers marched past Virginia Tech. The Hall of Famer posted an Instagram story of the locker room shenanigans with the players going wild in celebration. The girls could be seen loudly blurting out, “You wanna talk sh*t?…” from Boosie Badazz’s ‘Set It Off‘.
