# 2020 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs baseball team

The 2020 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs baseball team represent Louisiana Tech University in the 2020 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Bulldogs play their home games at Ruston High's Baseball Stadium and are led by fourth year head coach Lane Burroughs.
On March 12, the Conference USA released an announcement proclaiming the suspension of all spring athletics until "further notice". This came during the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Previous season

The Bulldogs finished 34–24 overall, and 17–13 in the conference. The Bulldogs lost their only two games in the C-USA Postseason tournament and were not invited to any other tournament, thus ending their season.
