After a loss in its NIT opener to North Texas, the LSU men’s basketball team has seen its first piece of postseason attrition.
On Friday, senior forward [autotag]Mwani Wilkinson[/autotag] entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer. He will have one remaining season of eligibility.
A four-year player for the Tigers, he appeared in 100 games with 57 starts. He was a regular starter in 2021-22 and 2022-23 before his season ended due to injury after 12 games last year. As a senior this season, he appeared in 27 games with four starts while averaging 2.1 points and a rebound.
Wilkinson initially entered the transfer portal when [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] was hired, but he opted to stay.

Now, he’ll be moving on to greener pastures, after all.
