cut 13 (12) “…run game”
Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson has been ruled out of Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury. Running back Latavius Murray and the versatile Taysom Hill are questionable. But it looks like Trey Hendrickson is back as he was a full participant in practice yesterday after missing last week’s game with a neck injury.

Meanwhile, Tampa Bay Coach Bruce Arians says former LSU standout and New Orleans native Leonard Fournette will start at running back for the Buccaneers. Tampa’s main back Ronald Jones is a game-time decision with a quad injury.

The Pelicans lost their fifth straight last night as they fell to LeBron James and the Lakers 112-95. James had 21 points, 11 assists, and eight rebounds, while former Pelican Anthony Davis had 17 points. Zion Williamson had 21 points and 12 rebounds to lead New Orleans, who has 20 turnovers.

The LSU men’s basketball team goes for its fourth straight win when they host South Carolina tonight, who is only playing in its sixth game of the season. The Gamecocks have had to pause activities three times because of COVID-19 and their head coach Frank Martin will not be at tonight’s game after testing positive for COVID for a second time.

Last night, La Tech went on a 21-4 run in the second half to beat UTSA 77-66. Andrew Gordon came off the bench and scored a career-high 14 points and had 12 rebounds. ULM lost to Arkansas State 74-72 as a possible goaltending call did not go the Warhawks way in the final seconds. And the Ragin Cajuns lost to U-T Arlington 91-86.
