LSU’s Wild Season Ahead | College Basketball News

LSU’s wild, unorthodox season kickoff is here—just four players locked in, international recruits waiting to sign, and key transfer RJ Luis still unsigned. The Tigers are throwing down early with a brutal non-conference slate: 17 games vs. last year’s postseason teams, plus two Acrisure Series spots with yet-to-be-announced foes. Familiar faces return to haunt them—Dedan Thomas Jr. at Houston and freshman Jalen Reece at Texas A&M, both set to face LSU twice. They’re also venturing west for historic matchups: Gonzaga for the first time ever in Spokane, and a California tour. Even with in-state games squeezed in, they’re bringing Washington State to Baton Rouge. In the SEC, it’s tough but manageable—home-and-home with Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Auburn, then a brutal January stretch against Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee. But after that? A rare Friday SEC game could be the spark they need to make a deep tournament run. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
