LSU overcomes slow start to breeze past New Orleans in midweek blowout

After four scoreless innings, the Tigers erupted to capture a 16-0 win in the final game before conference play.

It has been said that anything done three or more times becomes a pattern. If that is true, the LSU Tigers have a habit of getting to the bottom of the sixth or seventh inning and deciding they are ready to end the game.

The Tigers used a seven-run bottom of the sixth inning to blast New Orleans 16-0 in the last game before conference play starts this weekend.

[autotag]Chase Shores[/autotag] got the start on the mound but only pitched 2.1 innings before [autotag]Garrett Edwards[/autotag] came in for him in the third inning. Neither of them gave up a run and they gave up a combined 2 hits on 7 strikeouts and one walk.

Neither team scored a run until the bottom of the fifth inning when [autotag]Tommy White[/autotag] hit a three-run bomb to left field to score [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] and [autotag]Paxton Kling[/autotag] to make the game 3-0 after five innings.

That was the shot in the arm that the LSU offense needed. In the bottom of the sixth inning, [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag], [autotag]Jared Jones[/autotag], and [autotag]Alex Milazzo[/autotag] scored on a throwing error, Kling scored on a [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] flyout, Crews scored on a White single, and [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] hit a two-run homer to make it 10-0 after six innings.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag] hit a two-RBI double to left, [autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] walked to bring home a run, [autotag]Jack Merrifield[/autotag] walked, and [autotag]Hayden Travinski[/autotag] hit a two-RBI double to make it 16-0.

[autotag]Riley Cooper[/autotag], [autotag]Blake Money[/autotag], and [autotag]Christian Little[/autotag] got some work out of the bullpen in the final three innings. They finished off the scoreless night as the Tigers won 16-0.

SEC play starts this weekend as the Tigers travel to Texas A&M for their first series. The first pitch for that series is scheduled for Friday night at 6 p.m. CT.

No. 1 LSU vs. New Orleans: How to watch, stream, preview for final midweek contest before conference play on Tuesday

The Tigers host the Privateers for one final tune-up before league play begins.

The Tigers will take the field at Alex Box Stadium for one more midweek game before the SEC schedule is upon us.

New Orleans (11-5) comes to town on Tuesday night looking to pull off an upset and hand top-ranked LSU (15-1) its first midweek loss of the season before coach Jay Johnson’s team enters conference play against Texas A&M.

The Privateers are led by coach Blake Dean, a former infielder at LSU from 2007-10. He has a 200-175-1 record with UNO, and his team enters this one on a four-game winning streak after sweeping Mississippi Valley State last weekend.

“We’ve had an intense schedule with a lot of games recently, and we’ve been going pretty hard, so I’m glad our players had some time off before we meet an excellent UNO team,” Johnson said in a release. “We’re facing a very good opponent with 11 wins this season and some talented veteran players. Obviously (UNO coach) Blake Dean is well-known here, and he’s done a really nice job there, and he’s a very good coach. I’ve enjoyed getting to know him and talking to him, and we’re looking forward to that challenge on Tuesday night.”

Here’s everything you need to know to follow LSU’s contest, for which first pitch is set for 6:30 p.m. CT.

PHOTOS: Tigers basketball beats New Orleans 91-62

LSU is 3-0 to start the Matt McMahon era.

LSU left little room for doubt in its beatdown win over New Orleans on Thursday night. The Tigers thrashed the Privateers in a 91-62 win as coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] is 3-0 to start his tenure in Baton Rouge.

With the win over UNO, LSU has now won 27 straight games against fellow Louisiana programs.

The story of the game in this one were the transfers. [autotag]Derek Fountain[/autotag] (Mississippi State) and [autotag]Cam Hayes[/autotag] (NC State) combined to score 28 coming off the bench. Fountain had seven steals himself as the Tigers totaled 17 as a team, contributing to 23 total turnovers.

LSU now leaves the country to participate in the Cayman Islands Classic, where it will take on Illinois State on Monday morning at 10 a.m., followed by a contest against either Akron or Western Kentucky on Tuesday.

Here were the best pictures from Thursday night’s win.

Instant Analysis: LSU basketball cruises past New Orleans to start McMahon era 3-0

The Tigers won 91-62 over the Privateers and will head to the Cayman Islands at 3-0.

The Tigers’ first two games under new men’s basketball coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] were a bit closer than they would have hoped, but they dominated New Orleans on Thursday night essentially from start to finish as they earned a 91-62 win at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

LSU moves to 3-0 on the young season and has now won 27-straight games against other programs from the state of Louisiana, a streak that dates back to 2010.

The Privateers jumped out to a 6-2 lead, but that was the most competitive they would be all night. LSU’s subsequent 32-6 run essentially put the game out of reach, and it was 47-25 at the half. UNO’s 23 turnovers — which resulted in 22 points going the other way — proved costly in this one.

It was something of a breakout game for Mississippi State transfer [autotag]Derek Fountain[/autotag], who led the Tigers in scoring with 15 points coming off the bench. Meanwhile, NC State transfer [autotag]Cam Hayes[/autotag] scored for the first time in an LSU uniform, scoring 12. Starting point guard [autotag]Justice Hill[/autotag] also scored 12.

It was an off night for leading scorer Adam Miller, who finished with just seven points on a 2 of 8 shooting game.

It was a good shooting night overall for the Tigers, who shot over 50% and were particularly effective in the second half, shooting 67%. However, New Orleans also shot in the neighborhood of 50% and likely could have kept this one closer were it not for sloppy play against an LSU defense that finished with 17 steals, seven of which came from Fountain.

LSU will now travel to the Cayman Islands to participate in the Cayman Islands Classic, where it will take on Illinois State on Monday morning at 10 a.m. CT.  It will play either Akron or Western Kentucky on Tuesday.

LSU basketball vs. New Orleans: Prediction, point spread, odds, best bet

The Tigers hope to continue their perfect start against an in-state foe on Thursday night.

The Tigers will look to continue their undefeated start to the season and avoid dropping a buy-game as so many power-conference programs have to begin the season when New Orleans comes to town on Thursday night for a battle of in-state opponents.

The 1-1 Privateers lost their opener on the road against Butler before winning at home against NAIA St. Francis (IL) 65-63 on Saturday. They’re led by 12th-year coach Mark Slessinger, who is 0-2 against the Tigers. UNO is 1-7 all-time against LSU.

This game tips off at 7 p.m. CT and can be streamed on ESPN+/SEC Network+. We’ll give you all the information you need to know to make the best bet on this game with BetMGM.

Here’s where the odds sit as of 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.

LSU basketball vs. New Orleans: Stream, injury report, broadcast info for in-state showdown

The Tigers welcome a 1-1 New Orleans team to town on Thursday night.

The 2-0 Tigers will be taking on a foe from Louisiana for the first time this season as the New Orleans Privateers come to town for the eighth-ever meeting between the two programs and first since 2019. LSU leads the all-time series at 7-1.

UNO enters this one led by 12th-year head coach Mark Slessinger, who has made the NCAA Tournament just once with the Privateers. New Orleans is 1-1 on the young season, losing 89-53 on the road against Butler to open the season before surviving a 65-63 contest against NAIA St. Francis (IL).

You can never look past an opponent in college basketball these days, given the number of buy-games that have been dropped to start the year. However, UNO ranks No. 267 in the NET — the lowest-ranked opponent the Tigers have faced.

LSU baseball drops midweek matchup in the Big Easy

The Tigers’ four-game winning streak came to an end against New Orleans on Tuesday night.

After a perfect 4-0 showing last week, the Tigers crashed back down to Earth in a midweek matchup on the road against New Orleans on Tuesday night.

LSU lost to the Privateers 9-4 to end the winning streak, and now it will have to hope for better luck against a ranked opponent this weekend when the Georgia Bulldogs come to town.

[autotag]Ty Floyd[/autotag] got the start on the mound in a short outing as he only went 1.1 innings, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks. LSU started off hot as it scored the first two runs of the game thanks to a throwing error by New Orleans and a [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag] RBI double to make it 2-0 LSU headed to the bottom of the second inning.

The Privateers came out swinging in the bottom of the second as they scored four runs on Floyd. Those came on a wild pitch, an RBI single, a fielder’s choice and a throwing error. In the top of the third inning, [autotag]Luke Leto[/autotag] grounded out but scored [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] in the process to cut the lead to 4-3.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, New Orleans blew the game wide open as they scored four more runs. One run scored on an RBI single and later three runs scored on a three-RBI triple with a full count and two outs.

Headed to the top of the seventh, LSU had dug itself into an 8-3 hole. The question was, could it somehow dig its way out of it?

In the bottom of the eighth inning, the Privateers plated another run on an RBI single to make it 9-3 headed to the ninth inning. In the top of the ninth inning, Pearson hit a solo home run to cut the lead to 9-4, but that was the only run LSU would get as it lost the game and its winning streak came to an end at four games.

With the loss, LSU drops to 27-13 (10-8 SEC) on the year. The Tigers start a three-game series with the Bulldogs on Friday night at Alex Box Stadium with the first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT.

Tigers start the week off with a win over New Orleans

LSU baseball took down the Privateers 11-3 on Wednesday night to win its fifth-straight game.

This is a huge week for LSU baseball as the Tigers prepare for the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic this weekend. Before going toe-to-toe with Oklahoma, No. 1 Texas, and Baylor, LSU got to warm up with New Orleans at Alex Box Stadium this evening, in which it earned an 11-3 win.

Garrett Edwards got the start on the mound for LSU, and in the first inning, the Privateers scored a run on a sacrifice fly to make it 1-0 headed to the bottom of the first. In that frame, LSU came out swinging and let its starting pitcher know that it had his back.

Tre Morgan reached base on an error, Dylan Crews was hit by a pitch, and Cade Doughty hit an RBI double to score Morgan. A passed ball then scored Crews, and Doughty scored on a Jordan Thompson double play. At the end of the first, LSU led 3-1.

In the top of the second inning, Edwards was pulled from the game after only pitching one inning giving up three hits, two walks, and two earned runs. Grant Taylor came in to pitch for the Tigers and got three quick outs. In the bottom of the second, Gavin Dugas and Alex Milazzo walked leading to a Morgan RBI double followed by a Crews RBI single, and a Doughty RBI groundout scored Morgan to make the score 6-2 LSU.

In the top of the fourth inning, Riley Cooper came in to pitch. Taylor’s final line was two innings pitched, zero hits, zero runs, two walks, and two strikeouts. In the bottom of the fifth, Jacob Berry hit a blast to right field to make it 7-1 Tigers thru five innings.

In the top of the sixth, Bryce Collins came in to pitch for the Tigers. The final line on Cooper was 2.1 innings with zero hits, zero runs, and one strikeout. In the bottom of the seventh, LSU added on to their lead with a Doughty dinger, a Thompson RBI double, a McManus sacrifice fly, and a Morgan RBI single to make it 11-2 Tigers. In the top of the eighth inning, Paul Gervase came in to pitch for the Tigers.

The final line on Collins was 1.2 innings pitched with zero hits, zero runs, and one strikeout. New Orleans scored a run on a fielding error to make it 11-3. In the top of the ninth, Eric Reyzelman came in to finish the game and pitched one inning allowing zero hits, zero runs, and two strikeouts.

Grant Taylor (1-0) got the win and the Tigers were led at the plate by Morgan and Crews who both went 2 for 4.

LSU will begin the Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic this Friday afternoon against Oklahoma from Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. The first pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m CST.

Ohio State basketball vs. New Orleans: How to watch and listen to the game Tuesday

Ohio State basketball is back in action after missing some time to COVID-19.

After a ten-day hiatus, it looks like the Ohio State basketball team will be returning to the hardwood on Tuesday evening. The Buckeyes have been sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols and last played a game on December 11 when they bested Wisconsin by 18 points.

The Bucks will take on the University of New Orleans after missing games against Tennessee Martin and Kentucky. The Privateers come into the contest with a 3-7 record having dropped the past three contests.

This should be an easy rebound game for Chris Holtmann’s squad before jumping back into conference play.
