The Will Wade era at LSU got off to a strong start Tuesday night as the Tigers cruised to a 99-55 victory over LSU New Orleans in their 2026-27 season opener at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

It was a successful homecoming for Wade, who returned to the LSU sideline for his first regular-season game as the Tigers' head coach since 2022.

With a revamped roster featuring several transfers and international players, LSU opened the new season with an impressive 44-point victory in front of its home crowd.

The Tigers (1-0) will return to action Friday night when they host Texas Southern at 7 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.
