BATON ROUGE – Thirty practices over the last 42 days are completed.
A closed scrimmage against another school and a 113-80 win over Reinhardt University in an exhibition game are in the book.
Now it gets real in a hurry for Coach Johnny Jones and the LSU men’s basketball team. Like the 350-plus Division I men’s basketball teams this weekend, the Tigers open the 2016-17 season Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center against the Wofford Terriers of the Southern Conference.
Tickets for the game are available through Saturday morning at LSUtix.
