Will this time around bring more pressure for Wade? What are immediate expectations? And how will he get the roster transformed to where he wants it?

We also break down our Final Four and national championship picks with help from a special young guest.

The LSU men's basketball program received a shot in the arm Thursday when news broke that former coach Will Wade — who was fired after receiving a Notice of Allegations of NCAA violations in 2022 — is returning to LSU.

Wade announced that he's leaving North Carolina State after one season and coming back to Baton Rouge. Our LSU Sports Insiders react live to the news and what it means for the men's basketball program.

The LSU Sports Insiders are back with a look at LSU's first spring football practice under new coach Lane Kiffin. What's different? Lots of players, for one thing. What are we looking for over the next several weeks? And how's quarterback Sam Leavitt progressing with his injury? We answer all that in a comprehensive look at spring practice.

In addition, we bid farewell to Advocate LSU football beat writer Wilson Alexander, who is leaving the company after seven years as a friend and co-worker. Wilson shares some of his favorite moments on the football beat and his thoughts about the Baton Rouge community.

The LSU women's basketball team routed Jacksonville and Texas Tech by a combined 112 points in two NCAA tournament games this weekend, giving Flau'Jae Johnson a perfect home sendoff and storming their way to Sacramento for the Sweet 16. Can LSU come out of a very tough regional? Our LSU Insiders are here to discuss, including a full recap of the history the Tigers set this weekend and their chances against Duke and UCLA coming up.

The LSU baseball team hosts No. 8 Oklahoma for a three-game SEC series this weekend, and the stakes are high — at least for March. The Tigers are trying to even their SEC record, and more importantly trying to build some momentum after a poor stretch.

LSU baseball beat writer Koki Riley of The Advocate joins the LSU Sports Insiders for a look at what's going well, what needs to improve and whether his outlook and expectations have changed for the rest of the season.

It's March Madness time, and the LSU women's basketball team drew a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Tigers will open tournament play Friday at home against No. 15 Jacksonville, almost certainly followed by a second-round game Sunday versus either No. 7 Texas Tech or No. 10 Villanova.

Our LSU Insiders break down the matchups, the question of whether LSU is happy to be in a Sacramento regional with UCLA instead of a Fort Worth regional with UConn and our thoughts on possible rematches down the road with Duke and UCLA ... or a meeting with Kim Mulkey's old school, Baylor.

The LSU baseball team has hit a rough patch in the month of March, losing four of its past six games against competition far weaker than what the Tigers will face in SEC play, which begins this weekend with a road trip to Vanderbilt.

Advocate LSU beat writer Koki Riley joins the LSU Insiders to discuss what's gone wrong for the Tigers, what they can do to fix it and whether fans should be panicking. We also have a mini preview of the SEC season — championship contenders, dark horses and teams that could fade. We'll finish with a preview of the Vanderbilt series and our expectations for LSU in conference play.

Oh, and there's a rant about Team USA in the World Baseball Classic to get you started.

The LSU women's basketball team beat Oklahoma with one of the Tigers' best performances of the season to open their run in the SEC tournament, but then ran up against a familiar obstacle in South Carolina, which beat LSU 83-77 in the semifinals. What does it all mean? What seed are the Tigers going to get? And are they still national championship contenders?

Our LSU Sports Insiders break it all down and also talk about Gary Redus' departure to become the head coach at Rutgers.

The LSU men's basketball team is coming to the end of another disappointing season, the fourth under head coach Matt McMahon, who is squarely on the hot seat. Does that mean the end of the road for McMahon at LSU? Or will the school keep him another year to save money on a buyout and see if things improve next season?

Our LSU Sports Insiders break down the situation and give their take on LSU's decision and a possible coaching search.
