WHAT TO WATCH FOR: LSU will almost certainly turn to Kansas right-handed transfer Cooper Moore for Saturday’s start. Moore has surrendered just five earned runs in three starts, only walking two batters in 19⅓ innings. Sacramento State’s defeat on Friday was its sixth straight loss. Its last win came on Feb. 22 against Saint Joseph’s.
