We are anticipating one heck of a baseball game tonight between LSU and Wake Forest. The Tigers defeated the Demon Deacons five to two last night to set up this loser goes home contest. So could we see LSU’s ace Paul Skenes on the mound tonight on four days rest? Coach Jay Johnson said after last night’s game, we’ll have to wait and see…

And Wake Forest could also throw its top pitcher, Rhett Lowder. He’s 15 and 0 with a 1.99 ERA and he’s struck out 137 hitters in 113 innings. First pitch tonight is at 6 PM and the winner will play Florida in a best out of three championship series starting Saturday.

After years of waiting, the NCAA finally placed LSU on three years probation for alleged recruiting violations involving the men’s basketball program and former head coach Will Wade. The football program is also on three years probation because of impressible benefits given to the family of former offensive lineman Vadal Alexander. The school is also forced to vacate 37 victories that took place from 2012 to 2016.

Wade, who is preparing for his first season as the head coach at McNeese, has also been suspended 10 games and put on recruiting restrictions for the next two years. The NCAA says it took into account LSU’s self-imposed penalties including a postseason ban in football in 2020 when handing down this ruling.

Tonight is the NBA draft, the Pelicans have the 14th pick in the first round. New Orleans is looking for a shooter or another big man. There are reports they are shopping Zion Williamson in the hopes of getting a top three pick.
