Defending national champion LSU boosts its postseason hopes with series win against Texas A&M
With two weeks left in the regular season, LSU is scrambling to avoid becoming the third straight defending national champion to miss the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers (31-18, 9-15) won two of three against then-No. 1 Texas A&M to take a giant step over the weekend, but they probably need to win four of their last six Southeastern Conference games to strengthen their status for an at-large bid. LSU also could help itself with a good showing in the SEC Tournament.

UPDATE 4-Shah Capital urges Novavax shareholders to vote against three directors
Hedge fund Shah Capital on Monday urged Novavax shareholders to vote against the re-election of three directors and proposals related to executive compensation, weeks after pushing for a board shakeup at the COVID-19 vaccine maker. Shah Capital, the biotech's third-largest shareholder with a near 7.5% stake, reiterated that the company was "undervalued and continues to suffer from poor profitability". Novavax last year had raised doubts about its ability to remain in business, hurt by manufacturing snags and regulatory hurdles that delayed the entry of its protein-based vaccine to the market.
