Tragically, on Friday morning, LSU basketball player Wayde Sims was shot and killed near Southern University.
Sims was a junior forward for the team, making 10 starts last year. The entire Tiger family mourns his loss.
As you can see below, the LSU football team is honoring Sims, showing a tribute on the Tiger Stadium scoreboard and announcing they’ll have a moment of silence before tomorrow’s game against Ole Miss:
