Plus: Updates from Eugene.
Good morning, Tigers. Shawnti Jackson qualified for three NCAA finals yesterday in Eugene, running a personal-best 10.88 in the 100-meter semifinals, now No. 6 in the world for 2026, to go along with a 22.45 in the 200 meters and a heat-winning anchor of the 4x100 relay in 42.38. Tima Godbless joined Jackson in the 100-meter final for the third straight year at nationals. All three events head to Saturday's finals.

🔼 Welcome to Baton Rouge. LSU men's basketball added SEC veteran forward Mo Dioubate, a 6-7, 220-pound transfer who spent last season at Kentucky after two years at Alabama. Dioubate averaged 8.8 points and 5.5 rebounds for the Wildcats, including 17 points and three blocks in UK's NCAA Tournament win over Santa Clara. At Alabama, he helped the Crimson Tide reach the NCAA Elite Eight while posting six double-doubles as a sophomore.

LSU men's basketball signed 6-7 guard Abdi Bashir Jr., a transfer from Kansas State who shot 44.4 percent from three last season. Bashir led the nation in three-pointers per game (3.85) during his sophomore year at Monmouth, where he averaged 20.1 points and earned First Team All-CAA honors. He brings 1,110 career points and a 39.9 percent career three-point clip to Baton Rouge.

Former UTSA guard Austin Nunez signed with LSU men's basketball for the 2026-27 season. The San Antonio native averaged a career-best 9.8 points and 2.8 assists for the Roadrunners last season, stringing together eight consecutive double-figure scoring games. Nunez shot 88.5 percent from the free-throw line and brings 84 games of experience across Arizona State, Ole Miss, and UTSA.

LSU men's basketball added guard Divine Ugochukwu, a transfer from Michigan State who shot 44 percent from three last season. Ugochukwu, originally from Texas, started 28 games across two seasons at Miami and Michigan State, and the Spartans went 11-1 when he was in the starting lineup. He scored a season-high 23 points against Penn State, going 5-of-5 from distance.
🔼 Moving On. LSU men’s tennis’ Enzo Kohlmann is moving on at the ITF M15 Brasilia after defeating his quarterfinals opponent, 6-7, 6-1, 10-3. Kohlmann advances to the semifinals.

🔼 Heading Overseas. LSU women's tennis signed 17-year-old Tegan Bush from Great Britain, ranked No. 5 in the country's U18 rankings.
