🔼  Mike Will Made It. The men’s basketball team got another win last night as they defeated Alabama State, 74-56. The Tigers went on a 19-3 run in a seven-minute period of the second half to get a good lead. Mike Williams III led the team with 15 points with three three-balls and three assists. Jalen Reed and Jordan Wright had 13 points each. On a night that the Wayde Sims Foundation was honored on what would’ve been Wayde Sims 26th birthday, the Tigers put up 44 points in the second half — the jersey number that Wayde and his late father Wayne wore at LSU.
