Tigers Go One-And-Done In Nashville

Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports Ah well. So much for that LSU’s run in Nashville came to a less than satisfying conclusion as the Tigers (17-15) got bounced in its SEC Tournament opener by Mississippi State, 70-60. LSU let a seven-point halftime lead slip away. Mississippi State shot 50 percent from the floor in the second half, while LSU was held to 30 percent. The Bulldogs grabbed a 36-34 lead before Trae Hannibal tied the game at 36 with 12:32 to play in the second half. But Mississippi State would go on a 10-3 run to grab a seven-point lead that they...

LSU Softball Tigers remain the only remaining unbeaten team in America First things first I want to apologize for the lack of softball coverage on the site the past couple of seasons. Saltzman had the beat on lockdown but has moved on to bigger and better things, and I’m just spread a little too thin to provide the coverage the program deserves. And this Tiger team is deserving of a whole lot more attention because if you haven’t been paying attention Beth Torina’s got something pretty special cooking this year.

LSU fails to get the weekend sweep in 2-1 loss to Xavier

Xavier Athletics LSU couldn’t complete the sweep over Xavier due to struggle at the plate.

Xavier was able to win this game due to its pitching staff holding LSU to just five hits and two walks along with 12 strikeouts. Despite LSU scoring a single run, it was an unearned run as it occurred due to an error being on the field. LSU’s record falls to 14-2 while Xavier improves to...

LSU Rallies to Hold Off Missouri 84-80

The Other Tigers put quite the scare into LSU as Missouri had a 35-29 lead at halftime. The six-point lead was Missouri’s largest halftime lead in conference play. But LSU came roaring back in the second half thanks in large part to a 23-4 run midway through the second half and the Tigers finish SEC play with a .500 record. Give credit to...

LSU Dominates Auburn in SEC Tournament Opener

Jim Dedmon-USA TODAY Sports A ho hum 30-point beatdown LSU began its run in the SEC Tournament with about as dominant of a performance that you could hope for as the Tigers crushed Auburn 78-48 in its quarterfinal matchup.

This win over Auburn is especially satisfying, because the Other Tigers have given LSU fits in their two regular season encounters. Auburn beat LSU on their home court in January, and LSU had to hang on for a five-point win in Baton Rouge two weeks ago. The game was...
