🔼 Rattled The Ragin’ Cajuns. Three Tigers scoring in double figures helped seventh-ranked LSU to an 83-53 win over Louisiana-Lafayette. Aneesah Morrow, Mikaylah Williams, and Angel Reese combined for 65 of LSU’s points. Aneesah recorded her fifth double-double of the season with 27 points and 10 rebounds. Mikaylah got her first career double-double with 18 points and a career-high 11 boards. She went 4-of-8 from three. Angel was one rebound away from a double-double, scoring 20 points with nine rebounds. They’ll be back in action on Tuesday when McNeese comes to town.

🔼 Forever LSU. Former LSU beach volleyball stars Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth continue to be one of the best women’s duos in the world. They won the BPT Championship in Qatar over the weekend! This is their fourth world title in just three seasons on the international stage. They claimed their seventh medal of the season, becoming the second American team to do so.

Speaking of beach volleyball, the 2024 tournament schedule is out now. Check it out!
