LSU basketball coach Matt McMahon continues to proceed as if he will return for a fifth season in 2026-27, despite back-to-back, single-digit-win seasons in the Southeastern Conference.
McMahon has added professional Australian guard Owen Foxwell to his recruiting class of 2026, according to the Draft Express website. Foxwell (6-foot-2, 195 pounds) is averaging 11.1 points and 4.5 assists for South East Melbourne Phoenix of the National Basketball League (NBL) of Australia.
