BATON ROUGE, La. (Interstat) — The LSU women’s basketball team will open its 2025-26 season Tuesday, Nov. 4, against the Houston Christian Huskies at the Maravich Assembly Center.

Both teams enter the contest with 0-0 records. The game marks the official start for both programs after their 2024-25 seasons concluded in March.

The Tigers, under coach Kim Mulkey, look to build on a season that ended with a 65-72 loss to UCLA in the NCAA tournament on March 30, 2025. They are expected to be a preseason Top 25 team and will rely on a mix of returning veterans and highly-touted newcomers.

Houston Christian, from the Southland Conference, is seeking a fresh start after finishing its previous campaign with a 53-71 road loss to Northwestern State on March 1, 2025. The Huskies will face a significant challenge in their opener against a talented LSU squad in one of the nation’s most formidable home environments.

Following the season opener, LSU will host Southeastern Louisiana on Thursday, Nov. 6. Houston Christian’s next game is at Tarleton State on Sunday, Nov. 9.
