Unbelievable round by @LSUmensgolf, overcoming a 17-stroke deficit and climbing 15 spots to T-12th, advancing to the 4th/final round @NCAA Championships stroke play.

Top 8 after Monday's 4th round advance to match play bracket. LSU 3 strokes out of 8th.

The Fightin' Tigers of LSU! 🗣️

The Tigers just completed an 18-under round three to come back from as low as 30th place yesterday to T12 and make the top-15 team cut for round four of stroke play in Carlsbad.

In game 13 of 15, Florida catcher Karson Bowen (8/9) has matched Mizzou's Mateo Serna for the tournament’s Outstanding ABS Challenger (unofficial award).

There have been 0 initiated by pitchers. Some coaches have it clear pitchers won't be challenging balls and strikes.

(2/2)

[Todd Politz @tpolitz]

Fortunate to work the @SEC Baseball Tourney for 4th year.

ABS Challenges are as compelling as the talent level.

Thru 12.5 games: 91 challenges, 52 calls overturned (57%). @MLB overturn rate is 53% in 2026.

[Todd Politz @tpolitz]

Congrats to @GRunionLSU, @Alexis_Rather and the Tigers, who not only set the program's single-round NCAA-postseason scoring record this week (8-under), but then became 1 of 7 programs to advance to the NCAA Championships in each of the past 6 seasons.
Geaux Tigers!

[LSU Women's Golf @LSUWomensGolf]

Did that ✅

[Todd Politz @tpolitz]

Not only did @LSUwten advance to its 1st @SEC Tournament final, but the No. 9-seeded Tigers became the 1st team to make the final after playing every round.

No team seeded higher than No. 4 had advanced to the SECT final (played since 1990).

Final at 3 p.m. CT Sunday on SECN.

[Todd Politz @tpolitz]

Jayden Heavener tosses @LSUsoftball's 1st true-road no-hitter in nearly 19 years.

The most recent was Emily Turner's 7-inning no-hitter at Arkansas on April 21, 2007.

[LSU Softball @LSUsoftball]

yeah, she did THAT. 👑

[Todd Politz @tpolitz]

Ten runs are the most in an extra-inning frame in @LSUbaseball history.

h/t @LSUBaseballData

[Spencer Ellis @NotoriousAzn]

454 feet has to be one of the longest in history right? @tpolitz

[Todd Politz @tpolitz]

The last @LSUbaseball player to homer in his 1st 3 at bats of a game was @EddyFurniss at Auburn on March 13, 1998 (1st, 4th and 6th innings).

@JakeBrown_14 tied program record for single-game home runs with 3 (as of the 4th inning).

[Todd Politz @tpolitz]

2nd-most points in the 220-game series history between @LSUBasketball and @OleMissMBB.

Those of a certain age will remember this 113-112 OT-thriller when Chris Jackson (now Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf) and Gerald Glass combined for 108 in 1989.

If you knew him, you loved him.

Wishing John was with us for his 60th birthday today. His thoughts on the state of @LSUfootball would be priceless. Miss you, friend.
