LSU Basketball: TV Game Dates And Times Added To 2026-27 Schedule

TIGER RAG NEWS SERVICES

The Southeastern Conference has announced an updated television schedule for league teams, meaning LSU now has the television times of their Tuesday and Wednesday league games for the 2026-27 season.

LSU and coach Will Wade will open the exhibition season tonight at 6:30 at McNeese State with only four players still listed by LSU on its official roster. Waded said Wednesday that he will likely have eight players for the exhibition, including unknown walk-ons. He has been practicing with 15 players, but several of those are awaiting NCAA eligibility clearance as they are either overseas players experiencing delays with paperwork or are involved in eligibility lawsuits against the NCAA.
