The LSU men’s basketball team’s woes continued last night with an 87-77 loss to Missouri. KJ Williams and Derek Fountain both posted double-doubles while Adam Miller, Cam Hayes, Justice Hill, and Trae Hannibal all reach double figures scoring, but it wasn’t enough to get past a near-perfect night from Mizzou’s Kobe Brown who scored 26 points, hitting 10-of-11 shots. The Tigers are now 12th in the SEC and will host 4th-ranked Alabama Saturday.
The Pelicans landed in Dallas earlier today after winter weather delayed their departure from Denver after losing to the Nuggets Tuesday night. The Pels had less than 7 hours to prepare for an important matchup with the Mavericks, exactly what a team on a nine-game losing streak doesn’t need. New Orleans fell to 26-26 on the season since going 3-13 in 2023 and are now tenth in the Western Conference while the Mavs sit just a game ahead of them in fifth. The Pels will hope to bounce back on short notice against a Mavericks team without Christian Wood who’s been ruled out with a thumb injury. Tip-off is at 7:30.
The LSU women’s basketball team will look to keep their perfect season alive in Georgia tonight. The 15-and-8 Bulldogs are currently tied for 6th in the SEC and are projected as the last team into the NCAA tournament by Joe Leonardi’s Bracketology. Tip-off is tonight at 7:00
The Ragin Cajuns men’s basketball team puts their eight-game winning streak on the line tonight as they take on Texas State in the Cajundome. The Bobcats are 4-and-6 in Sun Belt play, and 11-and-12 overall and Coach Bob Marlin says they have a better record on the road than at home…
