I’m Andrew Greenstein and this Sportscast is brought to you by the Louisiana Department of Health, when gambling is more than a game, no one wins…
The seventh ranked LSU baseball team begins a three-game series against 10th ranked Oklahoma tonight in Norman. The Tigers have the third best batting average in the country, and they have three regular starters hitting over .400, including Ethan Frey. Coach Jay Johnson says he’s glad to see Frey have a breakout season in his junior campaign
Oklahoma’s strength on offense is its speed. O-U leads the SEC with 74 stolen bases.
In action last night…Tulane doubled up Northwestern State eight to four and Louisiana Tech clobbered the Cajuns 16 to 6.

LSU men’s basketball’s third signee out of the transfer portal averaged nearly 19 points a game at Northeastern this season. Coach Matt McMahon says six-foot-six guard Rashad King can score at all three levels and is excellent on the defensive glass. In 32-games for the Huskies last season, King shot 45-percent from the field, 32-percent from three-point territory.
Former Louisiana Tech star Sean Newman has committed to San Diego State. Newman finished third in the country in assists, averaging eight assists a game.
McNeese has signed former four-star recruit Jacolb Fredson-Cole. The six-foot-seven forward barely saw any playing time at Oklahoma this past season.
LSU women’s basketball’s point guard Last-Tear Poa has entered the transfer portal. Poa has been a key reserve for LSU, handling the ball and playing good defense, and is a member of the 2023 national championship team.
Give the Pelicans score to finish.
