Basketball is on the rise in Louisiana! Congratulations on making the big dance @LionUpWBB & @JaguarsWBB! Keep representing our great state! #LouisianaProud
The Lions put up some offensive numbers this past weekend. SLU (team) & Tyler Finke (individual) lead the nation in stolen bases. Did we do it the right way, @LionUpSoftball?

@sludelts had a great weekend in Atlanta. Great conference. Great brotherhood. And their 22nd Hugh Shields flag, awarded annually to the countryβs top ten chapters. Advising these guys is a humbling honor.
Upset in the Southland:
On the game's final play, Southeastern Louisiana QB Eli Sawyer connects with WR C.J. Turner for a 59-yard TD pass and the Lions defeat No. 4 (tie) UIW 41-35.
