Has One Player Benefitted More From The NFL Draft Season Than A Healthy Garrett Nussmeier? | LSU Women's Basketball & The Rematch With Duke In The Sweet 16 | LSU Baseball. Are You Panicking?

Garrett Nussmeier has arguably seen the most significant rise in draft stock this season. After a 4,000-yard season in 2024 and overcoming an abdominal injury in 2025, his performance at the 2026 Senior Bowl—where he was named Offensive MVP—and the NFL Combine has catapulted him into the conversation as a top quarterback prospect.
LSU Women's Basketball: Sweet 16 Rematch vs. Duke
The No. 2 seed LSU Tigers will face No. 3 seed Duke in the Sweet 16 on Friday, March 27, 2026, at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. This is a high-stakes rematch of their December meeting, which LSU won 93-77 despite an early 14-0 deficit

• LSU's Edge: The Tigers enter with a record-setting offense, having scored 100+ points 16 times this season. They dominate the boards and possess veteran leadership from Flau'jae Johnson and MiLaysia Fulwiley.
• Duke's Threat: The Blue Devils have gone 21-2 since their loss to LSU, recently winning the ACC Tournament. They are led by First Team All-ACC forward Toby Fournier and are known for their execution in "crunch time".
• Coach's Perspective: Kim Mulkey noted the difficulty of beating a team twice, stating both squads have improved significantly since December.
• LSU Baseball: Is it Time to Panic? The "panic meter" is officially climbing for LSU Baseball as they sit at 16-9 overall and 2-4 in SEC play. 
• Recent Struggles: The Tigers have lost two straight SEC series (Vanderbilt and Oklahoma) and suffered a surprising non-conference series loss to Sacramento State.
• Performance Gaps: While individual stars like Casan Evans (15 strikeouts in a recent start) and Derek Curiel (.333 average) have flashed brilliance, the team has repeatedly fallen to "weaker" competition.
• The Verdict: While 16-9 is a rough patch for the defending 2025 National Champions, there is still time to right the ship before the heart of the conference schedule.
