Uncut. Listen to the 2024-25 LSU Women's Basketball team as they greeted and answered questions from Fast Break Club members attending last month's luncheon at the Crowne Plaza in Baton Rouge.

🔼  Feelin’ 22. The sixth-ranked women’s basketball team beat Missouri 71-60 on the road last night! Aneesah Morrow recorded her 22nd double-double of the year and 93rd overall with 13 points and 14 rebounds. Flau’Jae Johnson led the Tigers with 19 points and seven rebounds. Mikaylah Williams scored 16 and added five assists. The Tigers have a thriller awaiting as they’ll host No. 19 Tennessee on Sunday at 3 p.m.

🔼 Classic Cats. Softball season is here! The No. 10 Tigers are hosting the Tiger Classic this weekend at Tiger Park. They’ll play a doubleheader today against Charlotte at 4 p.m. and Central Arkansas at 6:30 p.m. Tomorrow, they’ll play the same two teams in the same order, starting at 1:30 p.m. They’ll wrap it up on Sunday with a 3 p.m. matchup against Southeastern Louisiana. All of LSU’s games will stream on SEC Network+.

🔼 Sweatshirts For Students. The men’s basketball team hosts No. 25 Ole Miss tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. The first 1,000 students will receive the crewneck sweatshirt pictured above! Fans at home can watch the game on the SEC Network.

🔼 Alyona’s Comeback. In 2024, three days before the first meet of Alyona Shchennikova's fifth year with LSU Gymnastics, she tore her Achilles for the second time. Despite initial doubts about returning for a sixth year, she felt inspired to return after watching former teammate Kiya Johnson's incredible comeback from the same injury a year prior. ‘I had the realization after SECs and I was like, you know what? I think I want to give it another shot, and I want to be able to inspire a younger gymnast that thinks that she can't do it either.' Alyona shared on the Flipping Out Podcast. Listen to more of her incredible story on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.

The Tigers will compete at No. 14 Alabama tonight at 8 p.m. on ESPNU.
