The 2023-24 LSU men’s basketball team will take the court for the first time on Monday night as the Tigers host NAIA Louisiana Christian in an exhibition at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
The game tips off at 7 p.m. CT and will be the first time LSU has hosted a preseason exhibition at the PMAC since 2016.
It will be our first glance at a new-look LSU team after a disappointing 14-19 first season under [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] that featured a 14-game losing streak and saw the team finish just 2-16 in SEC play.
McMahon hit the portal hard once again this offseason, bringing in one of the nation’s top hauls, headlined by players like [autotag]Jordan Wright[/autotag], [autotag]Will Baker[/autotag], [autotag]Daimion Collins[/autotag] and [autotag]Carlos Stewart[/autotag].
Louisiana Christian is coming off a 13-17 finish last season and will play back-to-back nights in Baton Rouge as it will scrimmage Southern on Tuesday night.
Admission to the scrimmage will be free to fans, and it has a Halloween “Boo Up” theme, featuring candy for kids, a costume contest and a postgame autograph session with the players.
This will be the final tuneup before LSU begins the 2023-24 season against Mississippi Valley State on Nov. 6. Here’s everything you need to know to follow this one.
