What a game last night in Hammond. It was expected to be tight as the River Bell Classic typically is, and Southeastern couldn’t be stopped in the second half — the Lions marched on to beat Nicholls State 21-17. It was a big blow to the 17th ranked Colonels who were looking to lock up their first FCS playoff berth since 2005.

The LSU men’s basketball team had an easy time against Samford last night at the PMAC. The Tigers picked up a 105-86 win.
