How to watch LSU women’s basketball today: Time, TV channel, Streaming

LSU women’s basketball is back in action on Tuesday night. Here’s how to watch, including time, channel, TV schedule and streaming info.

LSU women’s basketball is back in action on Tuesday with a morning tip-off. The Tigers will face Charleston Southern and Kim Mulkey and crew look to move to 3-0 on the year.

It’s been smooth sailing so far. That’s expected given the Tigers’ schedule. A similar result is expected on Tuesday.

LSU’s schedule won’t heat up until later in the month when it faces Washington. Early in December, the Tigers have a showdown with Stanford — one of the sport’s premier programs.

Two games in, star guard Flau’Jae Johnson is leading the way with 24.5 points per game. Mikaylah Williams and Aneesah Morrow are both contributing, averaging over 15 per game.

Here’s how to watch LSU take on Charleston Southern on Tuesday.

Here’s how to watch LSU women’s basketball take on Northwestern State on Friday night

After a blowout victory on Monday, LSU women’s basketball is back in action on Friday night. LSU will hope for a similar result tonight with Northwestern State coming to town.

Kim Mulkey and the Tigers have had a great week on the recruiting trail, but now the focus returns to basketball.

Flau’Jae Johnson led the way with 25 points while Aneesah Morrow added 20 in game one. If LSU gets that kind of production from its top scorers, the Tigers should breeze through the nonconference schedule.

Monday’s game marked the return of forward Sa’Myah Smith after a torn ACL cut her 2023-24 short. LSU missed the support she supplied in the paint and on defense.

Mulkey’s group sits No. 7 in the AP poll and has the talent to pull off another deep tournament run. But for now, it’s just about taking care of business.

TeamA vs TeamB predictions, picks, odds

LSU 98, NORTHWESTERN STATE 61: LSU rarely has trouble with these games. Kim Mulkey typically has her team up and ready to play. I expect Friday night to look no different. Johnson, Morrow, and Mikaylah Williams have big nights as LSU approaches 100 points.

Kim Mulkey’s sequin butterfly sweater proves that her wardrobe is already in peak form

Kim Mulkey’s eccentric outfits are already up to expectations.

Kim Mulkey will always have a top-tier outfit ready to go, and she wasn’t going to let LSU’s season opener pass by without bringing out some of her best.

In For The Win’s college basketball storylines ahead of this season, we mentioned how Kim Mulkey’s fits deserved to be a story by themselves, and we’re happy to say that WE WERE RIGHT.

During LSU’s first win of the season, Mulkey was on the sidelines in purple pants and a black sequined buttery fly sweater. (Yes, another sequined creation. Remember the cursive sweater vest from last season?) Of course, the butterflies were neon because we could never expect anything less.

Here’s a closer look during her first tech of the season:

Kim Mulkey getting a technical foul in LSU’s season opener is so on-brand

Kim Mulkey is already in mid-season form.

Kim Mulkey received a technical foul Monday during LSU’s season opener, and I can’t think of anything more on-brand.

Listen, man. I thought we would be about ten games or so into the season before Kim came off the bench to argue a call. But I am not mad about her getting one immediately because it just means one thing — WE ARE SO BACK.

Here’s how it went down. In the fourth quarter, Fla’jae Johnson was at the top of the key when she pushed to make a move toward the basket. The defender slid over to guard Johnson and, in doing so, fell. Flau’jae got called for a charge and Kim Mulkey (and the crowd) were having none of it. Kim immediately got T’d up for arguing about the call. However, she might have been slightly vindicated because Eastern Kentucky subsequently missed the technical free throw.

Kim Mulkey stays hot on recruiting trail, adding five-star to 2025 class

Kim Mulkey stays hot on the recruiting trail, adding a five-star to the 2025 class

[autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] made it a habit of adding talent when she arrived at LSU. Whether it’s on the recruiting trail or the transfer portal, we’ve seen a flurry of high-profile additions in the last few years.

The trend continues with Mulkey adding a five-star to LSU’s 2025 class. Guard [autotag]Zakiyah Johnson[/autotag] committed to the Tigers on Sunday, giving LSU the No. 4 overall prospect in the class per On3.

ESPN is high on Johnson too, ranking her No. 13 overall.

Johnson is a Kentucky native, but nabbing out-of-state talent isn’t an issue for Mulkey and staff. After a national title and another deep tournament run, LSU women’s basketball is a national brand.

Johnson is LSU’s third addition to the 2025 class, joining [autotag]Bella Hines[/autotag] and [autotag]Divine Bourrage. [/autotag]

LSU is hoping Johnson isn’t the last marquee addition. Aaliyah Chavez, the top prospect in the country, remains an LSU target too.

As for the current Tigers, LSU begins its season on Monday night against Eastern Kentucky. Later in the week, LSU hosts a meeting with instate competition Northwestern State.

LSU women’s basketball rolls in exhibition opener against Xavier (New Orleans)

The Tigers’ new-look roster took the court together for the first time in an exhibition win on Thursday night at the PMAC.

The 2024-25 LSU women’s basketball team took the court for the first time on Thursday night in an exhibition matchup against Xavier (New Orleans) at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, and it was an impressive debut.

The Tigers rolled against the NAIA opponent, beating the Gold Nuggets 114-53.

It was a huge game for junior star [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag], whose 30-point, 10-rebound double-double paced the team. [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag] also recorded a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds of her own.

LSU’s newcomers made a solid first impression as well, with three of them scoring in double figures. Transfers [autotag]Jersey Wolfenbarger[/autotag] and [autotag]Mjracle Sheppard[/autotag] each scored 12 points, while [autotag]Jada Richard[/autotag], the top player in Louisiana and most highly touted member of LSU’s 2024 signing class, scored 14 points in her first appearance with the purple and gold.

The Tigers shot 58.2% from the field in a prolific offensive performance, including a 6 of 13 mark from three-point range, where LSU struggled last season. The defense impressed against a lower-division opponent, holding Xavier to 34% shooting while forcing 33 turnovers that resulted in a whopping 47 points for LSU going the other way.

It was the kind of showing the Tigers wanted to see in the exhibition, and they’ll look for a similar result when they host LSU-Alexandria next Wednesday. Coach Kim Mulkey’s team opens the regular season against Eastern Kentucky on Nov. 4.

LSU’s Flau’Jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow named preseason Co-SEC Players of the Year

Despite losing Angel Reese to the WNBA, LSU has no shortage of star power in 2024-25.

Despite losing star forward [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] to the WNBA draft, the LSU women’s basketball team is gearing up for what should be another special season in Year 4 under coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag].

The Tigers enter the year ranked No. 7 in the preseason AP Top 25, and they have several players who received preseason accolades from the SEC media. LSU’s top returning stars in [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag] and [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag] were named preseason Co-SEC Players of the Year ahead of what should be a big season for both.

Unsurprisingly, they were each named First Team All-SEC preseason selections. [autotag]Mikaylah Williams[/autotag], who impressed as a true freshman last season, is a preseason Second Team All-SEC selection.

The Tigers reached the Elite Eight last season where it fell in a rematch against the Iowa team it beat to win a national championship the prior year. LSU will hope Mulkey’s team is set for another deep run next spring.

LSU women’s basketball a top-10 team in preseason AP Top 25

The Tigers enter Kim Mulkey’s fourth season with high expectations yet again.

The 2024-25 season will be a year of change for the LSU women’s basketball team.

The Tigers lost star [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag], who had a fantastic rookie season in the WNBA. [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag] also opted to move on in the transfer portal.

But it’s another talented roster headlined by returning stars [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag] and [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag], and it’s bolstered by an impressive transfer class filled with veteran, experienced players.

There’s still a lot of optimism around Kim Mulkey’s team, and the Tigers open the year ranked No. 7 in the preseason AP Top 25. They’re one of seven ranked SEC teams and the third highest behind No. 1 South Carolina — the defending national champion — and No. 4 Texas.

In total, there are four SEC teams ranked in the top 10.

Flau’Jae Johnson, Aneesah Morrow to represent LSU women’s basketball at SEC media day

LSU has announced its delegation for SEC media day on Oct. 16.

Despite losing star [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] to the WNBA this offseason, the LSU women’s basketball team looks to be one of the nation’s best after retooling a roster that returned some major contributors with a loaded transfer portal class.

We’re now just over two weeks out from the Tigers’ first exhibition of the year and less than a month from the start of the regular season. LSU will take the podium at SEC media day on Oct. 16 in an early afternoon slot with portions being televised on the SEC Network.

The Tigers will be represented by their two biggest returning stars in [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag], who had a breakout sophomore season, and [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag], who impressed after transferring in from DePaul.

After winning the national title in 2023, LSU reached the Elite Eight last season before its season ended in a rematch against Iowa. Coach Kim Mulkey’s team is hoping for another deep run in 2024-25.
