Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — The LSU Tigers Basketball team held open try-outs for a spot on the team.
Coach Trent Johnson and his staff held a practice session for a walk-on spot in the PMAC this afternoon.
23 current students had a chance to impress Coach Johnson with their basketball skills.
Last year, LSU tuba player Andrew Del Piero was selected after try-outs.
Johnson says it won't take long to find the guy they want. He expects to make the decision within the next day or two.
