The high-profile saga of newly minted LSU coach Lane Kiffin is the gift that keeps on giving this winter. Roughly a month after Kiffin announced he was leaving Ole Miss to take the LSU head coaching job, he made a public appearance on ESPN during LSU's game against Houston in the Texas Bowl.

Kate Koval scored a season-high 23 points and collected 11 rebounds to spark No. 5 LSU to a 109-41 victory over Alabama State on Sunday in the nonconference finale for both teams.

Conner Weigman led Houston to a hard-fought Texas Bowl win vs. LSU. USA TODAY provided updates from the Cougars' win:

UH completed just the seventh 10-win season in school history by overcoming a 14-point deficit to beat LSU in the Texas Bowl not far from campus.

All who wish for the LSU Tigers Women's basketball team to play some actual competition can rejoice as they have played their final non-conference game of the regular season, as they cruised to a 109-41 victory over the Alabama State Lady Hornets.
