After opening the 25th-annual Louisiana Classics with a modest 7-over par round of 295 in the first round, the LSU men's golf team fired its second-lowest round of the season and the lowest round of the day at 11-under 277 in the second round to conclude Monday's action at Oakbourne Country Club in a three-way tie for first place in the team standings.

The Tigers fired a 36-hole score of 4-under 572 to finish the first day of competition in a tie for first place with Illinois and Tulsa. Southeastern Louisiana finished in a distant fourth place overall at 4-over 580.

LSU's 11-under par round of 277 is its second-lowest in relation to par this season, just one shot shy of its best team score of 13-under 275 recorded in the first round of the Gary Koch Invitational on Oct. 3.

It is also six strokes better than the second-lowest round of the Louisiana Classics thus far as Tulsa posted a team score of 5-under par 283 in Monday's second round. more

In the Do Something Big campaign, the basketball personalities will challenge Americans to "Be the one to save a life." Three public service announcements will hit the airwaves and the Internet starting in March.

"There's nothing bigger than life - not when someone you love is fighting to live," O'Neal said. "That's why I'm letting people know they have the power to save a life by joining the Be The Match Registry." more

In the busiest stretch of a schedule that doesn’t offer much down time to begin with, LSU center fielder Leon Landry put the right spin on things.

The ULM baseball team came out of this weekend with a “swag.”

They have struggled to win games all season. They won only two games in the Southeastern Conference. And they will have to win four in four days if they want to keep playing.

LSU beat Georgia. Now the Tigers want to copy the Bulldogs.
