Both LSU basketball teams desire next step

In about one month, the two LSU basketball teams will open their 2024-25 seasons.

Coach Kim Mulkey’s women’s team will play host to Eastern Kentucky at the PMAC on Nov. 4. Two days later, coach Matt McMahon’s men’s squad will face UL-Monroe at the PMAC.

Last year, the women’s basketball team failed to win consecutive national titles. The Tigers’ season came to an end with a seven-point loss to Iowa in the regional finals.
