No more kiddie pool or floaties for LSU basketball as it dives into the deep end this weekend for the first time of the 2026-27 season.
Will Wade and his Tigers (3-0) travel to Spokane to face No. 14 Gonzaga on Saturday, Nov. 14, in what will be the most telling game of the season. With 14 new players on the roster, and three official games under their belt, many are still wondering how good LSU is this year.

For the first time in program history, the Tigers have won three straight games by 40 or more points, beating LSU-New Orleans, Texas Southern and Louisiana Tech. While making history is all fine and dandy, it’ll take more for this team to reach the heights it hopes for. This road trip, however, is exactly the kind of game that can to propel the Tigers forward even if the result isn’t a win.
The Tigers will have their hands full against a Gonzaga squad that also enters undefeated with a 2-0 record. The Bulldogs have already beaten a fellow-ranked opponent, No. 24 Purdue on Nov. 2. They followed that up with a victory over New Mexico State in the comforts of the McCarthey Athletic Center.
At home, Gonzaga is nearly unbeatable, winning 94% of the time when playing in ‘The Kennel.’ The Tigers will look for their starters and key bench weapons to lead the way as they aim for an upset and win No. 4 in the second Wade era.
