On a night when LSU pitcher Austin Ross delivered 103 pitches to home plate against Arkansas, most of them were effective.
DURHAM, N.C. — Championship banners and retired jerseys hang from the arena’s low-lying rafters. Photographs of past Duke greats line the narrow halls on the second floor. When it’s empty, Cameron Indoor Stadium would seem incapable of housing 9,000-plus fans. But it often does. LSU senior Matt Gaudet provided a good chunk of the offense for the Tigers Friday in their SEC opener against Arkansas at Alex Box Stadium. The No. 14-ranked LSU softball team will try to extend its winning streak when it hosts Auburn at Tiger Park today. The teams meet in a Southeastern Conference doubleheader today, and face off Sunday’s in a single game. Action begins at 1 p.m. both days. The 55th-ranked LSU men’s tennis team bounced back from the brink of match point to upset 21st-ranked Wake Forest, 4-3, on Friday at W.T. “Dub” Robinson Stadium. DURHAM, N.C. — Joe Alleva spent 32 years in Duke’s athletic department, including a 10-year run as the school’s athletic director. LSU drew a trek to Alleva’s old stomping grounds in the NCAA tournament. Alleva came along.

Ross-Miller decided to become the second point guard in LSU’s 2010 basketball recruiting class Thursday, his father said two things stood out as factors. A 22-0 run first-half run boosted No. 4 Kentucky to an easy 81-55 victory at LSU today.
