LSU basketball makes statement with thrilling win over Gonzaga

LSU basketball made a statement on Saturday with an 81-80 win over No. 14 Gonzaga. After a second-half comeback, guard Donovan Dent sent the Bulldogs packing with a go-ahead three-pointer with 1.5 seconds left. Will Wade's Tigers are now 4-0 as momentum builds around the program in year one of Wade's second stint at LSU. This was LSU's first real test of 2026. LSU went on the road to face one of college basketball's top programs and came away with a win. Dent delivered in the clutch, but was LSU's best player throughout the game. Dent totaled 23 points and 10 assists while going 9/20 from the field. Gonzaga was led by Braden Huff, who totaled 18 points and 13 rebounds. Gonzaga led by 13 points in the second half, but Wade's squad wasn't fazed. Most of LSU's roster is new to Baton Rouge, but they're experienced players, and the veteran aspects of this team were evident when LSU went down. The Tigers hung in there. LSU's roster was clouded with questions all offseason. Wade took an unconventional roster-building approach. LSU didn't rely on high school recruiting or the transfer portal. Wade focused on international players with professional experience and

LSU Star Who Left Ole Miss Blames Ex-Coaches to Pressure Him Into Signing Deals: "Unclean Hands"

Ole Miss wants $950,000 from two players who followed Lane Kiffin to LSU, but its legal battle just took a nasty turn.
