The LSU Sports Insider is back with an inside look at the SEC and Big Ten meetings in New Orleans this week. What exactly do the big-time conferences want when it comes to College Football Playoff expansion? Why four auto-bids? And if the other conferences don't go along, can the SEC and Big Ten force this through? Our Insiders — Advocate columnist Scott Rabalais and LSU football beat writer Wilson Alexander — join host Zach Ewing to talk through the issue and whether it's good for LSU. Also, LSU basketball beat writer Toyloy Brown is here to talk about the Tigers' sudden change of fortunes and how they actually still have a chance at the NIT. #lsu #sec #cfp #collegefootball #collegebasketball #marchmadness #geauxtigers

Advocate beat writer Koki Riley is back along with sports columnist Scott Rabalais to finish a comprehensive preview of the upcoming LSU baseball season.  In the last preview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3afboHn7kTw), we discussed the LSU roster and where it's strongest and weakest. This time, it's a look at the schedule and what expectations should be for the Tigers, who are ranked No. 2 or No. 3 in every preseason poll. Finally, Koki and Scott give their takes on what could stand in LSU's way and predict whether the Tigers make it back to Omaha for the College World Series. Also, check out our one-on-one conversation with coach Jay Johnson from last month: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RDm4LcyeW0 #lsu #geauxtigers #lsubaseball #collegebaseball #gymnastics

The LSU women's basketball team won another nail-biter on Sunday, downing Tennessee 82-77 in a game that featured six lead changes and was close throughout. The Tigers are now 25-1 overall and 10-1 in SEC play with a massive trip to No. 3 Texas coming up next. We break down how LSU keeps finding a way, the matchup with the Longhorns and what the Tigers' path to a No. 1 seed looks like with Advocate beat writer Reed Darcey. On the men's side, Advocate beat writer Toyloy Brown joins the show to discuss basically the opposite: How did LSU manage to prolong its misery by blowing an 11-point lead in the final minutes against Ole Miss? And what does the rest of the season mean for Matt McMahon's future? #lsu #geauxtigers #collegebasketball #womensbasketball #marchmadness #secbasketball

As the LSU baseball team prepares for its 2025 season opener next week, Advocate beat writer Koki Riley joins host Zach Ewing for Part 1 of a two-part season preview. In this episode, Koki breaks down the roster from starting rotation to bullpen to lineup, taking a look at returners and newcomers for a team that Baseball America has ranked No. 2 in the country in its preseason poll. Will Kade Anderson become the Tigers' ace? Is Gavin Guidry best suited as a closer? And who will step into a starring role in the lineup? We answer those questions and more in this episode. #lsu #geauxtigers #lsubaseball #collegebaseball #secbaseball

Many pundits have revealed "way too early" college football top 25s for 2025 that include LSU prominently — as high as No. 4. Is that too high? And how much does it ratchet up the pressure on Brian Kelly, Garrett Nussmeier and the Tigers? Our LSU Sports Insiders — Advocate beat writer Wilson Alexander, columnist Scott Rabalais and editor Zach Ewing — break down the issue. In addition, we'll take a quick look at the women's basketball classic between LSU and Oklahoma on Thursday night. #lsu #lsufootball #geauxtigers #collegefootball #heismantrophy #top25 #womensbasketball

Our LSU Sports Insiders — Advocate beat writers Reed Darcey and Toyloy Brown with editor Zach Ewing — break down the matchups, the keys to a men's upset and a women's win and much more, including the basketball debut of LSU football freshman Trey'Dez Green. #lsu #geauxtigers #collegebasketball #womensbasketball #lsufootball #secbasketball

The LSU women's basketball team stayed perfect on the season with a victory at Florida on Sunday. Now comes the tallest task of all, a trip to South Carolina to face the Gamecocks, who have handed the Tigers four of their 10 losses over the previous three seasons. What are the keys to the matchup, and what does this one mean to LSU? Advocate women's basketball beat writer Reed Darcey joins host Zach Ewing to break it down on the latest episode of the LSU Sports Insider. #lsu #geauxtigers #southcarolina #womensbasketball #womenshoops #collegebasketball

While Brian Kelly's LSU football team has failed to reach the College Football Playoff in his three years in Baton Rouge, his old school — Notre Dame — will play Ohio State in the national championship game Monday night in Atlanta. Is that development an indictment of Kelly? Does it put more even pressure on him? Or should he be credited with planting the seeds for Notre Dame's success? Our LSU Sports Insiders — football beat writer Wilson Alexander, columnist Scott Rabalais, beat writer Koki Riley and editor Zach Ewing — discuss the issue. Plus, we offer our keys to the national championship game and predict the winner between Notre Dame and Ohio State. #lsu #geauxtigers #lsufootball #collegefootball #cfp #cfptitlegame #notredame #goirish
