LSU reached a first in Southeastern Conference history on Tuesday night when the Tigers men’s basketball team clinched at least a share of what is the school’s 10th league title in the sport.

By winning its 10th league title in men’s basketball, LSU is now the only school in SEC history to pull a "triple-double" – winning double-figure conference titles in the sports of football, men’s basketball and baseball.
