Instant Analysis: LSU men’s basketball holds on to take down Southeastern

The Tigers moved to 5-3 on the season Friday night, but it sure wasn’t pretty.

Southeastern entered Friday night’s game against LSU sitting at 2-5 on the year and looking for its first win over a Division I opponent, but it gave the Tigers all they could handle at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

Coach Matt McMahon’s team escaped with a 73-66 win, but it wasn’t pretty. It trailed for much of the first half, though it pulled away to a seven-point lead at halftime.

It looked like the Tigers were going to put the game away for good, leading by as much as 15 in the final 20 minutes, but they never managed to put the Lions away.

After shooting 60.9% in the first half, LSU’s rate dropped to 36.4% in the second. It was also plagued by offensive sloppiness, turning it over 17 times in total and 11 in the second half.

[autotag]Will Baker[/autotag] was his usual self with 18 points, and [autotag]Jordan Wright[/autotag] and [autotag]Mike Williams III[/autotag] also had strong offensive performances with 16 and 15 points, respectively. Overall, however, the offense was far more inconsistent than McMahon would like to see.

LSU didn’t make a field goal in the final 6:56 of the game, and it had to rely heavily on its defense, which held Southeastern under 40% shooting for the game and under 30% in the second half, to get key stops down the stretch and maintain the lead.

The Tigers got the win to move to 5-3, but it was far from an encouraging performance, especially with some tough games yet to come in non-conference play.

Next up for LSU is a Kansas State team that is coming off an Elite Eight appearance. The Tigers will have eight days to work out the kinks before that game on Dec. 9.

NEW: Kim Mulkey addresses Angel Reese’s absence in win at Southeastern Louisiana

Kim Mulkey affirmed that Angel Reese is still with the team but did not provide further details.

LSU women’s basketball cruised to another win on Friday night on the road in Hammond against Southeastern Louisiana, earning a 73-50 win.

It did so without star forward [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag], who was not with the team for the game after she was benched in the second half of Sunday’s win over Kent State. Coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] addressed the situation after the game, affirming that Reese is still with the team but declining to provide further details.

“You want me to explain why? It’s very obvious Angel was not in uniform, Angel is a part of this basketball team, and we hope you see her sooner than later,” she said.

Mulkey declined to provide further explanation.

“That’s all you all need to know,” she said.

Reese’s status with the team will certainly be something to monitor as LSU prepares to host Texas Southern on Monday.

How to watch as No. 7 LSU women’s basketball travels to face Southeastern Louisiana in first road game Friday night

The Tigers look to continue their winning streak as they face their first true road opponent on Friday night.

LSU has responded nicely since a disappointing loss to open the season, and with several other teams in the top 10 taking losses of their own, the Tigers could soon find themselves moving back up the rankings next week.

First, though, coach Kim Mulkey’s team has to take care of business as it hits the road for its first true road game of the season as it travels to Hammond to face Southeastern Louisiana on Friday night.

The Lions are 2-1 on the year having beaten Millsaps and Southern-New Orleans, but they fell 67-46 in their only game against a ranked opponent in Mississippi State. LSU is hoping for a similar result on the road.

Here’s everything you need to know to follow Friday night’s game.

How to watch as No. 1 LSU baseball travels to face Southeastern Louisiana in Tuesday night battle

The Tigers will look to snap a two-game midweek losing streak against the Lions in Hammond.

LSU is coming off back-to-back sweeps in conference play, but coach Jay Johnson’s team will be looking to end a streak it’s less proud of on Tuesday night.

The Tigers baseball team has dropped back-to-back midweek contests against Louisiana and Nicholls, and now they’ll look to get back in the non-conference win column for the first time in three weeks.

To do so, LSU (35-8) will make the trip to Hammond, Louisiana, on Tuesday night for a midweek contest against Southeastern Louisiana. The Lions enter this one with a losing record at 19-21, and they sit at just 4-11 in Southland play.

SELA has had some success against the SEC this season, however, taking two out of three games in a weekend series at Auburn earlier this season. LSU will hope to avoid a similar result on the road on Tuesday night.

Here’s everything you need to know as LSU looks to end a two-game midweek losing streak.

Update: Due to technical difficulties, the game will not be streamed via ESPN+. You can still listen to the game on the radio.

Bombs away in Baton Rouge as LSU mercy-rules Southeastern Louisiana

The Tigers claimed a 17-3 win in a game that ended after the top of the seventh.

Southeastern Louisiana is not The Gap Band, but it definitely felt like LSU dropped a bomb on it Tuesday night at Alex Box Stadium.

The Tigers beat the Lions 17-3 in a game that was called after the top of the seventh, and things are looking good heading into the second-to-last SEC series against Ole Miss this weekend.

Unlike Texas every fall, [autotag]Gavin Dugas[/autotag] is actually back for the Tigers, and he got the party started in the bottom of the first inning with a solo homer to left field to make it 1-0.

The Lions struck back with a solo homer of their own in the top of the second to tie the game 1-1 before LSU took the lead for good in the bottom of the second with a [autotag]Josh Pearson[/autotag] sacrifice fly to take a 2-1 lead.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, everything fell apart like Post Malone for Southeastern Louisiana as LSU scored nine runs. Dugas started the rally once again, this time with a two-RBI single to score [autotag]Tyler McManus[/autotag] and [autotag]Jordan Thompson[/autotag] to make it 4-1.

[autotag]Collier Cranford[/autotag] then scored on a [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] groundout to make it 5-1. [autotag]Tre Morgan[/autotag] hit a two-RBI single that scored Pearson and Dugas to make it 7-1.

[autotag]Brayden Jobert[/autotag] hit a two-RBI double that scored Doughty and Morgan to make it 9-1. McManus hit an RBI single to score Jobert and Thompson scored on a fielder’s choice to make it 11-1 LSU after four innings.

In the top of the fifth, the Lions hit a two-run homer off [autotag]Bryce Collins[/autotag] to make it 11-3 but that is all the damage they could do. In the top of the sixth inning, [autotag]Blake Money[/autotag] came out of the bullpen to pitch for the Tigers, take that as you may.Ā  Money has been the No. 2 starter for most of the season, but after a few rough outings, maybe he’s gone to the pen to get his swagger back.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Tiger bats came alive again as LSU reeled off six more runs. McManus hit an RBI double to score Jobert. Pearson and Crews both walked with bases loaded and Morgan hit a three-RBI double to make it 17-3.

With the win, LSU moves to 33-15 (14-10 SEC) on the season, boasting a 25-6 record at The Box. Hopefully, LSU can add some more wins to that home record this weekend as they welcome the Rebels into town for a weekend series. The first game is scheduled for Friday night at 7:30 p.m. CT.
