Feb. 12: LSU baseball season is upon us; the LSU women are heating up

LSU beat writers Koki Riley and Reed Darcey join sports editor Perryn Keys to crank up baseball season and check in on the resurgent LSU women's basketball team. Brought to you by Champion Wealth Strategies. Koki comes on to take a wide-angle look at the Tigers as they begin their season ranked No. 4 in D1Baseball's preseason poll, aiming to repeat as national champions. The guys then take a deep look at the LSU pitching staff, which brings back some familiar names but is also bolstered by 10 —10! — left-handers. Koki also takes a look at LSU's first weekend, which includes two games each against VMI and Central Arkansas. Reed also breaks down the LSU women, who are on a three-game winning streak and have found a (partial) solution to their problem with a short bench. We break down the Tigers' third-quarter surge against Alabama, Angel Reese's continued dominance and Last-Tear Poa's emergence as a player who can give LSU some (much-needed) extended minutes.
