NEW ORLEANS, La. – The LSU men’s basketball team found its rhythm here in the Cresecent City as the Tigers defeated SMU, 89-77, in the Compete 4 Cause Classic on Saturday night inside the Smoothie King Center. With the victory, LSU improved its overall record to 9-1, while SMU fell to 9-2 on the season.

NEW ORLEANS – For just the second time in her head coaching career, LSU coach Kim Mulkey was on the other bench from her alma mater, where the fifth-ranked Tigers downed the Lady Techsters, 87-61, in the Compete 4 Cause Classic at the New Orleans Pelicans Smoothie King Center.

The Lady Techsters were a national power under legendary coaches Sonja Hogg and Leon Barmore. Hogg guided them to a pair of national championships and more than 300 wins across nine seasons, then turned the program over to Barmore, who led them to another national title and 11 30-win campaigns. Hogg and Barmore were co-head coaches from 1982-85.

The former No. 1 running back in Louisiana will depart Baton Rouge, set to enter the transfer market next month.
