The Southeastern men’s basketball team will look to secure the top seed in next week’s
Southland Conference Tournament, while the women’s basketball, baseball, softball,
tennis, golf and track teams will also be in action during this week in Southeastern
Athletics. The Lions (19-10, 13-3 Southland) carry a six-game winning streak into the final
week of the regular season. SLU will open the week with a 7 p.m. contest at New Orleans,
before closing the regular season with a 5 p.m. game versus Nicholls on Saturday in
the University Center. Saturday will be Senior Day and the Southeastern seniors will be honored prior
to the regular season finale. If the Lions win both games this week, it will earn
at least a share of the Southland regular season title and the No. 1 seed in the conference
tournament. Southeastern has already secured a top-four seed and first-round bye in the league
tournament, which is set for March 7-10 at the Merrell Center in Katy, Texas. The
top two seeds in the tournament receive two byes straight into the semifinals. The Lady Lions (8-19, 7-9 Southland) will close out the regular season with a
pair of league contests. On Wednesday, they host UNO at 7 p.m., before welcoming Nicholls
on Saturday at 2 p.m. Seniors Taylin Underwood and Bre Warren will be honored prior
to the game with Nicholls for Senior Day. Underwood is Saturday’s Spotlight Player
of the Game and the first 150 fans will receive a trading card featuring the Livingston,
Louisiana native courtesy of PRIDE. Southeastern enters the final week of the regular season tied with McNeese for
the final spot in the league tournament, scheduled for March 8-11 at the Merrell Center
in Katy, Texas. The Lady Lions need to win one more game than the Cowgirls this week
to return to the postseason for the first time since the 2011-12 season. The SLU baseball team (5-3) welcomes No. 15 LSU on Wednesday for its fifth straight
game versus a nationally-ranked opponent. First pitch is 6 p.m. from Pat Kenelly Diamond
at Alumni Field. Wednesday is also a Cane’s Challenge. If the Lions score four or
more runs, fans can take their Cane’s coupon to their local participating Raising
Cane’s Chicken Fingers by the end of business on Thursday to receive a free combo
with the purchase of another of equal or greater value. Following Wednesday’s contest, Southeastern will be in Baton Rouge to compete
in a three-day round-robin at Alex Box Stadium. On Friday, Southeastern faces Sacred
Heart at 2 p.m. The Lions face Toledo on Saturday at 1 p.m., before taking on the
host Tigers at 3 p.m. on Sunday. The Lady Lion softball team (9-5) will travel to Columbia, Missouri to compete
in the 2018 Mizzou Tournament. On Friday, Southeastern faces Creighton at 10 a.m.
and host Missouri at noon. Saturday will see SLU take on Drake at 10 a.m. and Missouri
at noon. Both of this week’s men’s basketball games will be televised on Eleven Sports

up Southland play on Sunday with a 12 p.m. match versus McNeese. The SLU golf team returns to the course this week. On Monday and Tuesday, Southeastern
will travel to Spring, Texas to compete in the Colin Montgomerie HBU Invitational. Fresh off winning several individual Southland championships at the league indoor
meet, the Southeastern men’s and women’s track and field teams will open the outdoor
season this week. On Friday, the Lions and Lady Lions will be in New Orleans to participate
in the Tulane Early Bird Twilight meet. The 2017-18 season of The Jay Ladner Radio Show will continue on Monday at 7
