A struggling LSU baseball team returns to SEC play tonight as the Tigers host Texas A-and-M. The Bayou Bengals have lost three of their last four but senior shortstop Kramer Robertson says they are NOT pressing…
cut 30 (13) “…gets us going”
Hitting in the clutch has been problem for the Tigers. They are 4-for-33 with runners in scoring position in their past four games.

Last night on the college baseball diamond, Southeastern Louisiana beat the Cajuns twice. The Lions won the resumption of a game halted by rain on February 20th. The score in that contest was 5 to 4 in 14 innings. And then S-L-U thumped UL Lafayette 15-3 in the regularly schedule game.

Nicholls State edged Alcorn State seven to six. Quade Smith drove in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth with a single.

While speaking with reporters at the NFL owners meetings, Coach Sean Payton squash speculation that the Black and Gold will sign Johnny Manziel. Payton admits he met with Heisman Trophy winning quarterback during Super Bowl weekend, but there’s nothing more to it….
cut 29 (19) “…it was that”
The Saints have signed quarterback Chase Daniel. He spent his first four seasons in the NFL in New Orleans, before signing with Kansas City in 2013. The Black and Gold have also re-signed backup tight end John Phillips. He caught five passes last season.

Anthony Davis had 30 points and 13 rebounds last night as the Pelicans held off the Dallas Mavericks 121-118. With seven games left, New Orleans 4.5 games back of Portland for final playoff spot in the West.
