LSU Defense Shows Promise, Needs Depth | LSU Basketball News

LSU’s defense is heating up under Blake Baker’s third season, showing flashes of brilliance but exposing depth issues—especially with backups needing to step up. Head coach Lane Kiffin praised starters but stressed the critical role of reserves, who must deliver game-changing stops. Jordan Ross lit it up with a pick-six, four tackles, and a sack, while Princewill Umanmielen added six tackles and two sacks. Despite holding Clemson to just 145 yards, 71 came during backup play—proof Kiffin’s message is urgent. Next up: LA Tech, where LSU aims to prove every player, starter or not, is ready to execute.
