FAYETTEVILLE - The LSU gym team falls to 1-4 after losing to Arkansas, 197.475 to 197.250. The Tigers performed well and had the lead after three rotations, but it wasn't enough. 

The Razorbacks had five gymnasts score a 9.9 or better on the floor to get the upset. Haleigh Bryant did get the all-around with a score of 39.575. 

The Tigers are now 1 and 2 in the SEC and will come back home to face No. 17 Georgia on Friday.

BATON ROUGE - This postseason, we struck gold in the wildcard round, going 3-0, but last week... not so much. This week, we are getting back on track with our Conference Championships Best Bet$:

1. 49ers: +2.5

The 49ers have won 12 games in a row and are the most talented team left. The 9ers have all-pro players on every level of the field. Philly will have home field advantage, but the 9ers are the better team.

2. Under 46.5: 49ers vs Eagles

The 49ers have the best defense in football and absolutely shut down the Cowboys last week. The Eagles also have a really good defense. I expect this to be a low-scoring game on Sunday.

3. Bengals Moneyline

Last week, I trusted my brain and took the Bills... Then I saw Joe Burrow just staring into the snow, and I knew I made the wrong choice. Burrow is him, and I am not betting against him again. The Bengals have won their last three meetings against Kansas City, and Patrick Mahomes' injury has me worried a bit. 

Player Props on Bet MGM:

1. Christian McCaffrey score, George Kittle score, and 49ers +2.5 (+625)
2. Joe Mixon score, Travis Kelce score, over 47.5 (+400)

Kim Mulkey and her LSU women's basketball team toured the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly referred to as Angola, on Wednesday afternoon and left with a better understanding of how the prison system works, while also learning more about the prisoners.

"I mean, I honestly was kind of scared. I didn't really know what to expect," LSU senior forward Emily Ward said after their visit. "The only thing I knew was what they showed in movies, but it was definitely kind of eye-opening to see how they live like their everyday lives."

The Tiger team took a private tour of the facility and then headed to the gym to do a little shoot-around with nearly 100 inmates.

It was a chance for the ladies to interact with prisoners, some of whom are incarcerated for murder, and a chance to learn more about their mistakes and what they've done since being sent to prison.

"I grew up in Baltimore. I used to go to school across the street from a jail, so I kind of I've seen this before," Tiger forward Angel Reese said of the trip.  "I've seen different experiences before, where many people don't get a second chance at life, and having these opportunities to go out and talk to people like this has always inspired me."

The team then had a more private meeting with a handful of inmates who run counseling programs at the prison and have turned away from their criminal past to lead mentoring roles in an attempt to help others.

For Ward, it was a redeeming aspect of prison that she did not expect to see on the tour.  "It was very eye-opening. I love hearing about all the programs that they have, you know, like the Christ program and just mentors and students and all that kind of stuff is really cool, too."

PONCHATOULA - "My mom is a big basketball player. My dad was a basketball player and then being around my siblings, we all just are a basketball family," Ponchatoula forward Allen Graves said.

The Graves can flat out hoop. The oldest brother, Marshall, played four seasons at LSU. Their sister Amoura is currently playing in Auburn. But it's the youngest of the family that could become the best Graves of them all.

"I'll deny this, even though it's on film... He's got the brightest. He's got the brightest future out of all of us," Marshall Graves said.

The biggest difference between Allen and his family is his height.

"My dad and I, we always talked about we don't raise bigs because you know none of us were tall. We never thought the kid would be 6-foot-9," Marshall said.

"Growing up playing point guard all my life because we always point guards in our family," Allen said.

"He gets to his freshman, and sophomore year. He's 6-foot-4, 6-foot-5, and shoots up again. He's 6-foot-8, 6-foot-9 Like, oh my gosh, he actually really is big. Having those guard skills were super important and he's carried it and I mean, the good thing is that's where basketball absolutely is going today," Marshall said.

Allen not only got his guard skills from his family, but he also built toughness, competing to become the best.

"I say my sister is probably the biggest part of how tough I am. Because growing up, I was always smaller than her. So, she used to always try to bully me and everything," Allen said.

"We'd knocked one of Allen's teeth out playing on the trampoline, playing trampoline basketball, so it definitely got physical," Marshall said.

While Allen might have the height in the family, he's still not the king of the Graves court yet.

"Yeah, I would say I still got the crown in the family for sure. But he's since he's gotten to that 6-foot-9 mark. I haven't fully tested the waters," Marshall said.

Allen currently has an offer from Texas A&M.
