🔼 Spring Fling. The Tigers have been hard at work all spring leading up to tomorrow’s National L Club Spring Football Game. The game will take place inside Tiger Stadium at 1 pm. The scrimmage will air on SEC Network+ for those that can’t make it. This will be your last opportunity to see the Tigers in action before they open the season in Las Vegas against USC!

🔼 Take On Rocky Top. The baseball team is on the road to Knoxville this weekend to take on No. 4 Tennessee. The starting rotation will look a little different this weekend with Gage Jump getting the Friday night start and Luke Holman starting on Saturday. Jared Jones has been on fire, hitting .400 in his last five games with four home runs and 10 RBI. The series will start tonight at 6:30 pm on ESPNU. Tomorrow’s game will start at 4:30 pm and Sunday’s at 2 pm, both airing on SEC Network.

🔼 Tigers In Teal. It’s Teal Weekend in Baton Rouge! LSU softball is hosting Auburn for a three-game series tonight through Sunday. This weekend, it’s about more than just softball.

The 11th annual Geaux Teal Ovarian Cancer Awareness Walk will take place tomorrow at 9:30 am. The series will kick off tonight at 6 pm and all three games will stream on SEC Network+.

🔼 Tigers Tee Time. It’s one of the biggest weekend’s in the golf world with The Masters underway, but it’s a big one for our fourth-ranked women’s golf team as well. The Tigers are taking on the SEC Championships, beginning at 8 am today. The tournament is being held at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida and will include three days of stroke competition that will determine the eight qualifying teams for match play. The individual champion will be crowned at the end of play on Sunday. The LSU lineup will include Ingrid Lindblad, Latanna Stone, Carla Tejedo, Aine Donegan, and Taylor Riley.

🔼 Having A Ball. The gymnastics squad heads to Fort Worth next week for the NCAA Championships after securing the SEC Championship and the NCAA Regional Championship.
