The LSU men’s basketball team suffered a 78-60 loss at the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide.  It was a tough shooting night for the Tigers as they shot just 30 percent from the floor as a team and 23 percent from 3 point range.  LSU was led offensively by freshman guard Cam Thomas who scored 22 points to go along with 5 rebounds.  With the loss, LSU is 11-6 on the season.

The New Orleans Pelicans earned a 123-101 win over the Phoenix Suns at home.  Zion Williamson led the team with 28 points while Brandon Ingram added 23 and Steven Adams had a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds.  The team’s next game is tomorrow against the Indiana Pacers on the road.

The LSU Tigers added two more signees to its football team yesterday as 4-star defensive end Saivion Jones from St. James and 3-star offensive lineman Kimo Makaneole from Florida both signed their letters of intent.  This gives LSU 22 signees in the 2021 class.  The team has three spots left in the class and could look to the transfer portal to fill the remaining spots.

According to 247 Sports, the Ragin Cajuns football program signed the second-best recruiting class involving teams in the Sun Belt.  The class includes a nice mix of high school stars as well as some quality transfers.  A handful of signees are already on campus and head coach Billy Napier is excited to see what they can do.
