BATON ROUGE — LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center was evacuated following the women's basketball game against Denver on Friday evening.

According to campus officials, a potential threat was reported at the end of the game, causing officials to sweep the mostly empty building as most fans had already left following the conclusion of the 4th quarter. 

It's standard procedure for officials to sweep the arena before and after each game or event.

School officials said security cleared the Center before also sweeping Tiger Stadium ahead of Saturday's game against Texas, with nothing being found. 

While school officials did acknowledge the "report of a threat", they did not specify what kind.
