Saints Quarterback Drew Brees is likely bummed out today. That’s because the NFL Franchise that drafted him is heading to L-A. The Chargers have announced their 55-year relationship with San Diego is over and for the next two seasons, they’ll play in the 30-thousand seat StubHub Center in Carson City and then move into a brand new stadium in Inglewood, California, a stadium they’ll share with the Rams.

Brutal loss for the LSU men’s basketball team last night as Texas A&M jumped out to a 19-3 lead and never looked back in a 92-62 win over the Aggies. LSU is now 1-3 in league play and in each defeat, they’ve given up 90 points or more.

Tonight in college basketball…Louisiana Tech is at Charlotte. It’s the fifth time these two teams have met on the hardwood and Tech has won every previous matchup. A win for the Bulldogs and they’ll improve to 3-1 in conference play.

In the Southland…U-N-O is 4-0 in league action and they host Sam Houston State tonight. Nicholls is 2-1 in the Southland and they are at Northwestern State. The Demons are looking for their first conference win. Southeastern is at Abilene Christian.

In the NBA, the Pelicans have a chance to get a win tonight as the visit Brooklyn, who has the worst record in the league. But Anthony Davis is questionable with a hip pointer that he sustained after taking a hard foul in the win over the Knicks on Monday.
