LSU is hosting its pro day today for 25 NFL hopefuls. Draft Analyst Mike Detillier says it’s a great opportunity for some unheralded talents to show scouts what they’ve got….

Cut 16 (18) “…on one”

Detillier recently released a mock draft and has two former Tigers selected in the first round, Derrius Guice to the Seahawks and Arden Key to the Rams.

The current Tigers resumed Spring Practice yesterday after a week break. Coach Ed Orgeron said afterwards it was a spirited work out. Coach O talked about the three Q-B’s, he says Myles Brennan is comfortable in the pocket, Justin McMillan is great at extending plays with his feet, Lowell Narcisse has the strongest arm.

Back-to-back homers by Zach Watson and Austin Bain sparked the Tigers to a 10-1 win over Nicholls State last night at Alex Box Stadium. Bain scored twice and drove in two runs. Antoine Duplantis had three hits, while Bryce Jordan was 4-for-4. AJ Labas (Lay-biss) allowed just one run in five innings for his third win of the year.

Another rough loss for the Ragin Cajuns as they blew an 8-3 lead in the 8th inning and lost to Southern Miss nine to eight. UL-Lafayette is now 12 and 16 on the year.

In Fayetteville, ULM scored four runs in the 9th inning to tie 5th ranked Arkansas and then took a 9-8 lead in the 10th. But the Razorbacks scored two runs in the next half inning to beat the Warhawks 10-9 in 10 innings. Same two teams will play again this afternoon.

UNO scored a run in the ninth inning to beat Tulane three to two. And Brennan Breaud drove in three runs in a 9-1 win over Southeastern Louisiana.

And the Pelicans are home tonight to face the lowly Memphis Grizzlies. A must win for New Orleans who has a half-a-game lead over Denver for the final playoff spot in the West.
