Tigers Coach Lane Kiffin is surprised LSU and Alabama will be an afternoon kickoff on November seventh. Kiffin says he never even considered the game would not be played at night, but he jokes, it makes sense given the feathers his Tigers might have ruffled in the league offices this year.

Cut 17 (12) “…I’m not surprised.”

A CBS sports report says linebacker Whit Weeks is making good progress from his fractured leg and it’s possible he could play against Alabama.

ULM will try to win two in a row this Saturday when they host Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles allow more yards than any team in the Sun Belt, but the offense ranks in the top half of the league.

Cut 20 (16) “…everybody some problems.”

Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m.

The Pelicans dropped to 0-4 with a 104 to 91 loss to Denver. Zion Williamson had 25 points, but the Pels had 19 turnovers and shot just 41-percent from the field. New Orleans hosts the Kings tonight, who are also winless.

Today is Game Six of the WNBA finals and Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream will try to force a Game 7.
