The LSU baseball team hosts No. 8 Oklahoma for a three-game SEC series this weekend, and the stakes are high — at least for March. The Tigers are trying to even their SEC record, and more importantly trying to build some momentum after a poor stretch.

LSU baseball beat writer Koki Riley of The Advocate joins the LSU Sports Insiders for a look at what's going well, what needs to improve and whether his outlook and expectations have changed for the rest of the season.

It's March Madness time, and the LSU women's basketball team drew a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Tigers will open tournament play Friday at home against No. 15 Jacksonville, almost certainly followed by a second-round game Sunday versus either No. 7 Texas Tech or No. 10 Villanova.

Our LSU Insiders break down the matchups, the question of whether LSU is happy to be in a Sacramento regional with UCLA instead of a Fort Worth regional with UConn and our thoughts on possible rematches down the road with Duke and UCLA ... or a meeting with Kim Mulkey's old school, Baylor.

The LSU baseball team has hit a rough patch in the month of March, losing four of its past six games against competition far weaker than what the Tigers will face in SEC play, which begins this weekend with a road trip to Vanderbilt.

Advocate LSU beat writer Koki Riley joins the LSU Insiders to discuss what's gone wrong for the Tigers, what they can do to fix it and whether fans should be panicking. We also have a mini preview of the SEC season — championship contenders, dark horses and teams that could fade. We'll finish with a preview of the Vanderbilt series and our expectations for LSU in conference play.

Oh, and there's a rant about Team USA in the World Baseball Classic to get you started.

The LSU women's basketball team beat Oklahoma with one of the Tigers' best performances of the season to open their run in the SEC tournament, but then ran up against a familiar obstacle in South Carolina, which beat LSU 83-77 in the semifinals. What does it all mean? What seed are the Tigers going to get? And are they still national championship contenders?

Our LSU Sports Insiders break it all down and also talk about Gary Redus' departure to become the head coach at Rutgers.

The LSU men's basketball team is coming to the end of another disappointing season, the fourth under head coach Matt McMahon, who is squarely on the hot seat. Does that mean the end of the road for McMahon at LSU? Or will the school keep him another year to save money on a buyout and see if things improve next season?

Our LSU Sports Insiders break down the situation and give their take on LSU's decision and a possible coaching search.

March Madness is here as the LSU women's basketball team heads to Greenville, South Carolina, this week for the SEC tournament. The Tigers are the No. 4 seed in the conference tourney, but they're still chasing a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament if they could pull off a run in Greenville.

On the flip side, is their current No. 2 seed projection in jeopardy if they lose their first game? How much will Kim Mulkey "go for it" at an event she usually doesn't emphasize? And how does LSU match up with likely quarterfinal opponent Oklahoma?

Our LSU Insiders answer these questions and more as we preview the SEC tournament.

The LSU women's basketball team wraps up its regular season this weekend, and that means the final run for senior Flau'jae Johnson, a singular character in program history. Johnson has excelled on the court, winning a national title as a freshman and becoming a team leader as she approaches 2,000 career points, but also is a burgeoning star off the court with three recorded hip-hop albums and several big-time performances.

Our LSU Sports Insiders talk about the impact of Flau'jae at LSU as well as a short preview of tonight's Tennessee game and a look at LSU's seeding possibilities in the NCAA tournament.

It's been a perfect beginning for the LSU baseball team, the reigning national champions who are off to an 8-0 start with a serious offensive explosion. The LSU Sports Insiders discuss what that tells them in this episode, from which of those offensive numbers are real, to what to make of an up-and-down pitching staff to any weaknesses we might see in what looks like another College World Series contender.

The LSU Sports Insiders are back, even though we're traveling across the South for coverage. Reed Darcey checks in on his way to Oxford, where the LSU women's basketball team will take on Ole Miss on Thursday night, still with a long-shot chance at a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. We examine what it will take and why the meeting with the Rebels is a tough first step.

Scott Rabalais also joins the show before leaving for Jacksonville, where the LSU baseball team plays this weekend. We have first impressions of the baseball Tigers from their 5-0 start against soft competition.

Also: A check on men's basketball and the fate of Matt McMahon and the second No. 1 vs. No. 2 meeting this season for LSU gymnastics.
