21st ranked LSU returns to the baseball diamond tonight after getting no-hit on Sunday as the Bayou Bengals host Southeastern Louisiana. Strikeouts have been a big problem. The Tigers struck out 34 times in three games in Houston this past weekend. The Lions come into tonight’s game with a five and six record. The first pitch is at 6:30.

Louisiana Tech’s Steele Netterville has been named Conference USA Hitter of the Week. Netterville hit four home runs and drove in 14 runs last week. The Shreveport native hit two home runs in Sunday’s 26-3 thumping of the Maine Black Bears. Tech is at Sam Houston State tonight.

The Ragin Cajuns are also in Texas tonight as U-L Lafayette will visit Rice. Both teams are off to a slow start, U-L Lafayette is 4-and-8, while the Owls are two and eight.

Nine and two ULM hosts Jackson State. Northwestern State is bringing a nine and two record to Baton Rouge as the Demons visit Southern. Nicholls will host Valparaiso.

The Memphis Grizzlies won last night, extending their lead to 3.5 games over the Pelicans for the final spot in the Western Conference Playoffs. The Pelicans host Minnesota tonight and then travel to Dallas on Wednesday. We’ll see if rookie Zion Williamson will miss one of these two games since they are back-to-back.

Last night, Grambling got crushed by Mississippi Valley State 81-61. Tonight, the Cajuns host Coastal Carolina, who is averaging 78 points per game. ULM faces Appalachian State at 7 PM at Fant-Ewing Coliseum.

The SEC announces that LSU’s Spring Game on April 18th will kick off at noon on ESPN Two. The game will take place on Southern University’s campus due to the resurfacing of the field in Tiger Stadium.

ULM opens spring practice today in the search of a new starting quarterback. It’s a wide-open competition between sophomore Colby Suits, junior college transfer Jeremy Hunt, walk-on Garrett Hable and former Sterlington star Hayes Crockett.
