The seventh-ranked Lady Tigers look to get back in the win column tonight when they take on 17th-ranked Ole Miss in Oxford at 8 p.m. LSU looks to avenge last year’s loss to Ole Miss on senior night, and Cory Diaz of the USA Today Network could see it coming down to the wire.

Cut 18 (14)  “…Oxford Thursday night.”

Last night, the Louisiana Tech men’s basketball team defeated Jacksonville State, 77-71 to improve to 15-11 on the year. Junior DJ Dudley led the Bulldogs in scoring with 22 points. Sophomore guard AJ Bates had one of the best games in his career last night after scoring 13 points and dishing out 15 assists.

The LSU baseball team remained undefeated after defeating Nicholls 12-1 in 8 innings yesterday. Junior third baseman Trent Caraway hit a grand slam in the first inning, and senior right-hander Zac Cowan was credited with the win.

“The Fighting Tiger,” a documentary released on the SEC Network, highlights legendary gymnastics coach D-D Breaux and how she built LSU’s program from the ground up. The documentary shows how Breaux fought to keep the gymnastics program alive after several athletic directors threatened to cut the program. One of the most dramatic moments in the film comes when Breaux wrote a letter to LSU Athletic Director Joe Dean, requesting better resources to work with. Breaux says she will never forget the assistant athletic director’s response.

Cut 15 (13) “…you’re walking out.”

McNeese State baseball defeated Louisiana Tech, 8-3, last night to improve to 2-2. The Cowboys will host Kansas this weekend and Tech will be in Tennessee to play Memphis and Ohio State.
