The second ranked LSU baseball team wraps up a five game homestand this afternoon as the Tigers host Nicholls. It’s been a great start to the season for reliever Gavin Guidry. The former Barbe star has struck out a total of ten hitters in his first two appearances and has not allowed a run.
Guidry was one of LSU’s top arms out of the bullpen as a freshman during the 2023 national championship season. He also pitched well in 2024; but just before he was set to make his season debut in 2025, his back started hurting and he missed all of the 2025 season. The Lake Charles native is glad to be pitching again for the purple and gold.
Cut 18 (12) “…again is amazing.”

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette athletics is mourning the death of former basketball standout Bo Lamar who died earlier this week in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio at the age of 74. Lamar starred for the Ragin Cajuns from 1969 to 1973 and was one of the best basketball players in the country. Kevin Foote covers U-L Lafayette athletics for the Advocate…

Another spirited effort by the LSU men’s basketball team last night, but it still resulted in another loss for Coach Matt McMahon’s team. The Tigers trailed by 15 points at halftime to Texas, and cut the lead down to three points, but no closer and lost to the Longhorns 88 to 85. Max Mackinnon had 27 points in a losing effort. The Tigers are now 2-11 in the SEC.
