LSU WEEKEND ROUND-UP | Tigers baseball inconsistent offense, basketball struggles after Kentucky win

LSU baseball wrapped up a four game weekend going 3-1 with the lone loss coming at the hands of Stony Brook with a 5-2 loss Friday night. Through two weekends of LSU baseball and life after Paul Skenes, Dylan Crews, and the College World Series championship, what is the identity of this team?

That just might be a question that Jay Johnson and his squad don't have the answer to right now. And that's okay. We have seen great pitching, like Luke Holman who had another fantastic outing going seven innings giving up just two hits, zero runs, zero walks, and striking out eight in the process. Relievers like Fidel Ulloa and Gavin Guidry have also given you great performances on the mound. However, LSU is inconsistent at the plate. Although the Tigers beat Northern Illinois 5-2 on Saturday, they did so while only recording three hits. The next day LSU scored 18 runs off of 17 hits in a 18-10 offensive firework performance against Stony Brook to wrap up the weekend.

Finally, the LSU men's basketball team weren't able to capitalize off of their thrilling last second victory against the Kentucky Wildcats last week and fell to the Mississippi State Bulldogs 87-67 Saturday night at the PMAC. The Tigers only made three of their seventeen three-point attempts and turned the ball over fifteen times in the process. The Tigers will stay at home and host the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday night.
