LSU sports are hitting a rough patch, from a losing streak on the diamond to high-profile departures and losses on the court, all while former football coach Brian Kelly makes waves with his recent comments. LSU Baseball's Slump The reigning national champion Tigers have indeed struggled recently, dropping four of their last five games. Recent Losses: The skid includes a midweek loss to McNeese State (7-6) and a home series loss to Sacramento State, where they dropped two out of three games. Current Record: Despite the recent slide, LSU remains 12–5 (0–0 SEC) as they prepare for the start of conference play. Coaching Outlook: Head coach Jay Johnson has taken responsibility for the "rough opening" against mid-major programs but maintains that the aggressive early scheduling will benefit the team long-term. LSU Women’s Basketball (WBB) Updates The Lady Tigers suffered a double blow this past weekend with a postseason loss and the departure of a key staff member. Loss to South Carolina: LSU fell 83–77 to No. 3 South Carolina in the SEC Tournament semifinals on March 7, 2026. Despite a 24-point performance from MiLaysia Fulwiley against her former team, the Tigers couldn't overcome the Gamecocks' late surge. Assistant Coach Departure: Top assistant Gary Redus II is reportedly leaving Kim Mulkey’s staff to become the next head coach at Rutgers. Redus has been a vital recruiter for the program, helping secure No. 1 ranked classes in 2023 and 2025.

#LSU #LSUFootball #LSUBaseball #NoahTingle #LloydCourtney #TingleCo LSU Baseball (11-2) is currently navigating its first major "funk" of the 2026 season. Following an embarrassing 13-10 loss to Northeastern on Monday, March 2, the Tigers have now dropped two games in a week, including a midweek loss to McNeese State. Despite a late-game rally where the Tigers scored eight runs in the final three innings, the defensive and pitching collapses early in the game proved insurmountable. Key Issues Against Northeastern The loss was marked by a complete breakdown in the early innings, as Northeastern built a 10-0 lead by the third inning. Pitching Struggles: Starter Cooper Williams (0-1) and reliever Zac Cowan struggled significantly, combined allowing eight hits and five earned runs in just 2.2 innings. Defensive Miscues: The Tigers committed 4 errors and several other unrecorded mental mistakes that fueled Northeastern's early scoring. Offensive Slump: While the final score looked competitive due to a late surge, the starting lineup was just 4-for-21 (.190) without an extra-base hit for much of the game. Over the previous three games, the team hit a dismal .165 overall and .083 with runners in scoring position. Current Standing and Outlook Despite the recent struggles, LSU remains one of the top teams in the nation, though they have recently ceded the No. 1 spot in several polls.
