COLUMN | #LSU players aren't "evil." How they play is not wrong or divisive. Confusion on passion has led some to vilify, most recently The LA Times. This is my experience covering this team. Who they are is important for WBB: My Louisiana hot sauce:

My fantasy football league threw together a Super Bowl lotto. Did we cook? #LetDKCook

@DKSportsbook Hol’up…#LetDKCook

#LetDKCook Been in the lab tonight. Getting ready for Sunday.

We’re close. ⚾️ 🔜

Zac Cowan is here now. He was a pitcher at Wofford last season. LSU played Wofford in the Chapel Hill Regional. Says Jay Johnson is the reason he decided to come to #LSU

Jake Brown says he doesn’t think freshman and Baton Rouge native William Schmidt feels pressure. #LSU

Jake Brown is here talking with us. These are his lucky tights, says he wore them the entire second half of last season. He also says Derek Curiel is the most impressive freshman he’s ever seen. #LSU

Jay Johnson says he loves Skip Bertman’s “Tax Day” — April 15 — is when you know your team. But he says his players aren’t pro baseball and he’s doesn’t feel the need to get locked in on a particular lineup. “I set the team up to win every day.” #LSU

Johnson says while he’s still unsure where Michael Braswell and Steven Milam will play on the left side of the infield but he’s confident either way. #LSU

Visiting with Jay Johnson this morning. Says the staff is getting closer to knowing what the starting rotation is gonna look like. #LSU

#LSU-Tennessee rematch is upon us. On Super Bowl Sunday, a much-improved LSU team hosts a Lady Vols squad flying high off a big win vs UConn. An early look at why LSU should feel good about the matchup & what's problematic about Tennessee. Read:

Kim Mulkey on Tennessee rematch Sunday: "My challenge is to the fans. If you're going to the Super Bowl, give your tickets to someone else. "Tennessee is very good. I would imagine beating UConn, they'll come in sky-high. It went down to the wire a 1st time we played." #LSU

Kim Mulkey says that #LSU played at Missouri pace. "They run their offense so efficiently. Sometimes it wears you down, you don't have that speed and quickness you normally have. "You grind it out."

Kim Mulkey, on postgame radio, said that the bigs weren't getting enough rebounds so she decided to go small the rest of the game. #LSU

FINAL | No. 4 #LSU 71 Missouri 60 For much of the first three quarter, LSU battled a slow tempo from Mizzou and couldn't find a rhythm. But Mjracle Sheppard provided the spark. LSU pulls away in the second half. Read:

Oh boy... Another 3 from Judd and #LSU's lead is down to 6...

Nees collects her 22nd double-double of the season. 11 points, 11 rebounds right now.

Mjracle Sheppard has 7 points, 5 rebounds tonight so far. What she's done on both ends of the floor tonight has been massive for #LSU.
