Is LSU Baseball Back? Tigers Are Omaha Bound.

Tigers sweep Wildcats in Super Regionals for Omaha Berth.

Well the Weather Outside is...Weather.

SUPER Regional Baseball began this weekend and the LSU tigers played host to the Kentucky Wildcats in Baton Rouge. Game 1 matchup was scheduled to start at 2 p.m. until the NCAA announce they would delay the start due to, weather (?). 

If you were in South Louisiana this weekend , you experienced what this summer has in store. I am sure you were a couple of cold ones deep. Sitting poolside, and listening to your favorite Spotify playlist. Maybe you had the opportunity to go to the game and watch inside of Alex Box Stadium. 

There wasn't a cloud in sight!

Why was the game being pushed back, fans questioned. Was the NCAA & SEC behind the decision for ratings? There was no reason this game could not have started at it's designated time. 

Late Shift

First pitch finally arrvied at 9:15 p.m. Fans were frustration and exhausted waiting to start this game. You wondered if it would effect the players going into the game, and how they would perform.

Things got under way. Then any doubt was gone when we saw Tre' Morgan's home run in the first inning. 

The pop from the crowd was electric! From that moment on, the Tigers didn't look back. The fans no longer cared about the delayed start. They were there witnessing greatness. I felt bad for the fans who couldn't wait and missed that game. I think during the broadcast at some point they had over 12,300 fans in attendance. [Side Bar: I'm almost certain the Oakland Athletics have about 1800 fans at each game.] 


My favorite part of the night is Jay Johnson giving his recruitment pitch to any player in the Transfer Portal to come to LSU:

Omaha Bound

The Tigers took Game 1 on Saturday winning 14-0, and swept the series on Sunday, 8-3. Now the Tigers look to continue their quest on winning a National title in Omaha. I was surprised to see how well the Tigers played in the Supers. I think all LSU fans will say this was the best game all year, and question where this team was during the regular season. It wont matter how perform during the regular season. As long as the Tigers continue to play like they did on Saturday, they will be competing at a chance for the Natty!

Who was the most impressive team of the weekend? Is there a bullpen who can matchup well versus the Tigers? Does Paul Skenes continue to follow up his performance into Omaha? Sound off in the comments or tweet at me, @marcelo_unda on twitter.

Pelicans @ Nuggets Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 30, 2025
Team Stats (Pelicans at Nuggets) Final Score: 88-122 Rebounds: 36-57 Assists: 17-40 Steals: 9-5 Blocks: 3-5 Turnovers: 12-14 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 21; Nikola Jokić, 21 Rebound Leaders: Trey Murphy III, 7; Nikola Jokić, 12 Assist Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 6; Nikola Jokić, 10 My Player of the Game: Jeremiah Fears Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The starters for this game were Fears, Murphy III, Jones, Zion, and Deandre Jordan. So that was different, and it didn't work at all. * With most of the third quarter over, Zion had five total points in the game. He finished with 11. * The Nuggets went on a 32-4 run in the third quarter. The Pelicans came out very slow to start off the third. * New Orleans went 7-of-33 from the three-point line. * Nikola Jokić had a triple-double. The Pelicans had no answer for him all night. * Do the Pelicans know that the season has started because the majority of the guys out there look like they still think they're playing Summer League. * The problem with this team isn't the talent because they have that. So what's the problem? Coaching, effort, etc.? This has to be fixed ASAP. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.

Celtics @ Pelicans Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 28, 2025
Team Stats (Celtics at Pelicans) Final Score: 122-90 Rebounds: 54-35 Assists: 25-17 Steals: 5-7 Blocks: 7-0 Turnovers: 11-13 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Anfernee Simons, 25; Jordan Poole, 22 Rebound Leaders: Neemias Queta, 11; Yves Miss, 7 Assist Leaders: Payton Prichard, 8; Trey Murphy, III, 5 My Player of the Game: Jordan Poole Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The first two losses of the season were tough but at least the team looked good. In this game, no one looked fired up to compete except Jordan Poole and Jose Alvarado. * Zion did not play because he's been spending all offseason getting in shape just so he could rest after two games. Makes no sense to me. * Trey Murphy and Herb Jones need to find their spark and stride. These guys have been putting in a ton of work in the offseason but it isn't showing right now. * Willie Green has got to be on a short leash because this 0-3 start feels like the team is just picking up where they left off except this time they're healthy and have all the momentum in the world. * The next three games for the Pelicans will be on the road against Denver, Clippers, and Thunder .
