It’s Pro Day at LSU, a chance for every professional football franchise to get a look at the former Tigers eligible for next month’s NFL draft. Each player will be measured, perform a bench press drill and timed in various running drills. Some mock drafts have running back Leonard Fournette’s stock falling, but NFL analyst Mike Detillier doesn’t see it:
Cut 16 (16) “Panthers”
Detillier says safety Jamal Adams is also expected to be a top eight pick.

It didn’t start pretty for LSU, but the Baton Rouge Tigers eventually ended up getting it together in a 13-2 win over the Grambling Tigers last night at Alex Box Stadium. Grambling took the 2-0 lead in the top of the first, but bats lost fire as LSU soared to the victory. With the win, LSU improved to 20-10 on the season while Grambling fell to 9-19.

In the Sun Belt, UL-Lafayette pounded out a season-high 21 hits as the Cajuns route visiting Nicholls 18-2. Northwestern State handed ULM an 11-2 in loss in Monroe in the first of the teams’ home-and-home midweek contests. They play again tonight in Natchitoches.

Louisiana Tech overpowered Stephen F Austin in Ruston with a 10-8 win. It’ll be the final home game for the Diamond Dogs before an 8 game away trip starting with McNeese State tonight in Lake Charles.

Southeastern knocked out a 12-9 victory over South Alabama. UNO dropped Tulane 9-5.

The Pelicans are officially eliminated from the playoffs following a 134-131 tough loss to the Denver Nuggets. Anthony Davis played his heart out for the Pels though racking up 41 points and four blocks. Nice effort by DeMarcus Cousins too who added 31, along with 14 rebounds and two late 3-pointers. But New Orleans failed to execute in the final minutes.

Former Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon visited with the Saints Tuesday. Analysts say Mixon is a first round talent, but his arrest for punching a woman that was caught on video has many teams scared to draft him.
