Storylines
Broussard Out Three to Five Weeks
With LSU without their top hitter for the next several weeks as they start getting into the nitty-gritty of the SEC schedule, it’ll be interesting who fills in for that role. Barring any major surprises, you’ll see Austin Bain in that role tonight since he filled in for the Baton Rouge native during the series finale against Vanderbilt
Will Lahare Be Back?
After Daniel Lahare suffered a hyperextended elbow on Friday night, fears were that this might sideline him for a few weeks. However, it appears that there is just some soreness according to Tony Robichaux and could be back in the fold for tonight’s matchup. If not, it’ll be Zach LaFleur filling in.
