BATON ROUGE — Understand that getting to Omaha has never been quite as easy, certainly not as routine, as LSU has made it look over the years. This year’s bunch faces a particularly daunting obstacle. Namely, this: The Tigers are not the best team in this NCAA tournament super regional. Something called Stony Brook is.
