Texas Bowl takeaways and SEC basketball preview

The 2025 LSU football season is finally at an end after a 38-35 loss to Houston on Saturday night. Our LSU Insiders give their takeaways — a couple from the game, more from Lane Kiffin's interview on the ESPN broadcast — and start to turn their attention to the transfer portal that opens Friday. Also, we preview the SEC basketball seasons for both the LSU men's and women's teams. Can the men continue their rebound all the way into the SEC tournament? Can the women finally beat South Carolina and parlay their explosive start into a No. 1 seed? Advocate beat writers Toyloy Brown and Reed Darcey provide their best conjecture. #lsu #lsutigers #lsusports #geauxtigers #lsufootball #collegefootball #ncaafootball #collegebasketball #womensbasketball #womenshoops #ncaabasketball
