LSU in the CWS

OMAHA, Neb. — By the numbers — useless trivia division — for LSU over the years in the College World Series:

3 Most LSU losses to one team in Omaha — a tie between Miami, Oklahoma State and North Carolina. The Tigers have never beaten the latter two.

Number of times Georgia has been in Omaha the same years as LSU, but has never played the Tigers here, the most of any school. Clemson is second with three. 

Times LSU has beaten Florida in the CWS (against no losses). That’s the opponent LSU has beaten the most.
