Will Wade has returned to Louisiana State University as head coach for a second stint, opening the new season with a victory. The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Wade, who previously coached the Tigers from 2017 to 2022, is back on the sidelines for LSU's season-opening game.

Wade's return marks a notable homecoming for the program. His first tenure included an SEC regular-season title in 2019 and multiple NCAA Tournament appearances before his departure. The season-opening win gives his second tenure an immediate positive start.
