The 13th ranked LSU Tigers continue their push for an SEC regular season title tonight when the Bayou Bengals host Texas A-and-M at the PMAC. LSU is in a three-way tie for first place with four games left. But are dark clouds brewing in the distance. A Yahoo Sports report says LSU Coach Will Wade will be subpoenaed to testify in the federal basketball corruption trial. News broke of Wade’s participation in the trial a few minutes before his scheduled press conference yesterday and here’s what he said to reporters…

Back in October, Wade’s name first came up in a federal court when attorneys representing Adidas executive Jim Gatto read a recorded conversation that was allegedly between Wade and Christian Dawkins, who has since been found guilty of multiple felony fraud charges.

The Pelicans nearly battled back from a 13-point deficit to beat Philadelphia but lost 111 to 110 last night. Anthony Davis had 18 points in 21 minutes, but didn’t play at all in the fourth quarter. Jrue Holiday led a young group of Pelicans with 22 points. New Orleans will now hit the road for the next four games, starting tomorrow night in Los Angeles against the Lakers.

In college baseball, number one ranked LSU hosts South Alabama at 6 PM tonight. Eric Walker is scheduled to start for the Tigers. It will be his first start since leaving with tightness in his forearm in the third inning of a College World Series game in June of 2017. Walker later underwent Tommy John Surgery. He has made two appearances this season out of the bullpen.

Also today, Louisiana Tech is at Little Rock. The Trojans beat the Bulldogs twice last season. Nicholls hosts Tulane. That game can be seen on C-S-T at six o’ clock. The Ragin Cajuns are at Southeastern Louisiana. U-L Lafayette is off to a 1-and-6 start, while the Lions are 2-and-5. ULM is at Northwestern State. The Warhawks defeated S-I-U Edwardsville four to one yesterday.
