Dent's double-double leads LSU over rebranded LSU New Orleans 100-57
Donovan Dent had 19 points and 10 assists as LSU opened Will Wade’s second stint with a lopsided win over the rebranded Privateers.
On Tuesday, head coach Will Wade began his second tenure at LSU with a dominant 100-57 victory over LSU New Orleans at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Wade returned to Baton Rouge four years after LSU fired him in 2022 for NCAA violations, having coached at McNeese and NC State in the interim.
Donovan Dent led the Tigers with 19 points and 10 assists, while Saliou Niang added 14 points and 14 rebounds as LSU shot 51% from the floor.
Despite the decisive victory, eligibility questions persist for players like RJ Luis as the SEC and NCAA continue challenging Wade's unconventional roster management approach.
LSU hosts Texas Southern on Friday, Nov. 6, while Wade solidifies his No. 1-ranked 2027 recruiting class and works to build a championship-caliber program.
