⛳️ The rookie is rollin’
🤸‍♂️ Senior night
🐯 And much, much more!

The Powerhouse. The 2024 LSU Baseball team has exemplified that the culture of this year's squad is second to none. Super senior Alex Milazzo and freshman Steven "Monster" Milam are from opposite sides of the country but share the same passion for playing at LSU, proving that heart is the measurement of a Tiger.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Battled At Bridgestone. The men’s basketball SEC Tournament trip came to an end after a 70-60 loss to Mississippi State yesterday. Trae Hannibal led the Tigers with 18 points and Hunter Dean had 10 with six rebounds. Now we wait to see what the future holds for this basketball team on Sunday night at 8:30 pm when the postseason NIT teams are announced.

🔼 Rookie’s Rollin’. For the fourth time this year, men’s golfer Jay Mendell was named the SEC Freshman of the Week! He placed 7th overall at the Louisiana Classics this week at his home course. He has the second-best stroke average on the team with a 71.13. The Tigers will be back on the course on March 24 at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Golf Club.

🔼  Road Tigs. It’s time for conference play for the No. 2 baseball team in the country! LSU is kicking off SEC play at Mississippi State tonight at 6 pm. Tomorrow, they’ll play at 4 pm on SEC Network and Sunday they’ll play at 1 pm. Today and Sunday’s games will stream on SEC Network+. The Tigers are coming off a midweek sweep of North Dakota State.

🔼 Keep Dealing. The undefeated softball team will host Ole Miss for their SEC home opener this weekend. They’ll have a bit of a different weekend schedule, playing Saturday through Monday. Tomorrow’s game will start at 6 pm on SEC Network+, Sunday’s will air on ESPN2 at 4:30 pm, and Monday’s at 6 pm on the SEC Network.

🔼  Senior Salute. LSU gymnastics will host the final meet of the regular season tonight against North Carolina. It’s senior night at the PMAC and there will be a tribute at the end of the meet to honor the 11 seniors. The first 500 students to get there will receive LSU gymnastics belt bags! Doors open at 6 pm and the meet will begin at 7:30 pm on SEC Network+.
