LSU basketball is set to play its final neutral-site game of the season Saturday night when the Tigers (8-1) take on the SMU Mustangs (9-1) in New Orleans the Compete 4 Cause Classic. Saturday's game is a doubleheader with the LSU women's basketball team, but tip-off is scheduled for approximately 7:30 p.m. on SEC Network.

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.

Tulane outrebounded LSU, 47 to 42, a stat that Mulkey teams rarely finish second in during the nonconference portion of its schedule. The Green Wave also set a season-high points scored this year, led by freshman guard Mecailin Marshall who put up 20 points.

Mikaylah Williams led No. 5 LSU with 19 points as the Tigers struggled for almost three quarters before pulling away for an 87-61 win against Louisiana Tech in the Compete 4 Cause Classic.

The LSU women’s basketball team climbed back over the 100-point threshold on Sunday in the Lakefront Arena, notching its season-high point total in a 126-62 drubbing of UNO. The No. 5 Tigers (10-0) scored that many points because they turned defense into easy offense.

Even with LSU's dominating win, it was what happened before the game that garnered the attention of many, including Louisiana's governor.
