How to watch No. 1 LSU women’s basketball open the 2023-24 season against Colorado in Las Vegas on Monday

It’s time for the 2023-24 LSU women’s basketball team to begin its national title defense in Year 3 under coach Kim Mulkey, and the squad is heading to Sin City to kick things off.

It will be a ranked matchup to begin the season at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as the No. 1 Tigers face No. 20 Colorado. The Buffaloes are ranked in the preseason top 25 for the first time since 2013 after making a Sweet 16 run last season in which they were ultimately bounced by LSU’s eventual national title opponent in Iowa.

This will be our first glance at LSU newcomers like Hailey Van Lith, Aneesah Morrow and Mikaylah Williams in a game that counts. Here’s everything you need to know to watch it.

Injury Report

LSU is healthy entering the season.

Projected Starting Lineup

Prediction

After beating up on a couple of lower-level opponents in exhibitions, LSU will begin the season against a much tougher opponent in a Colorado team that returns much of its production from last season’s Sweet 16 run. This Tigers team could be even better than last year’s though, and they will begin the season in style with a win.

Prediction: LSU 80, Colorado 70
