📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Schooled. The Tigers volleyball team took down UL-Lafayette in a morning matchup yesterday, 3-1. LSU held the Ragin’ Cajuns to just a 0.66 hitting percentage. Jade Demps got her second double-double of the season and led the Tigers with 15 kills while Jurnee Robinson had 11 and Sanaa Dotson had 10. Maddie Waak tallied her fifth career double-double with 42 assists and 20 digs. The crowd was full of young Tiger fans who got to escape school and take a field trip to the PMAC.

🔼 It’s Showtime. If you’re in the Baton Rouge area, don’t forget to come to TJ Ribs on South Acadian Thruway tonight at 7:00pm for the Brian Kelly Show! Chris Blair and Coach Kelly will be taking questions submitted online or tweeted at @LSURadio. If you can’t make it, you can listen at LSUsports.net/live, on the LSU Sports app, and on Eagle 98.1 FM.

🔼 A Lasting Impact. There was a familiar face on the MLB Network yesterday, Coach Jay Johnson joined the crew to talk about the impact of Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews to LSU and the locker room. He also discusses their rise through the minors and the upcoming 2024 season. Dylan holds a .317 batting average with 5 home runs and 27 RBIs in the minors. Paul had 5 starts and was placed on the development list, so we won’t see him again until next season.
