Good morning, Tigers. A new era begins tonight! The Tigers open the season this evening at 7 p.m. in the Maravich Center against LSU New Orleans, the first regular-season game of Will Wade’s second stint on the sideline.

He’s called the rebuild “unconventional” with a 14-man roster of transfers, international players, and a couple of high school products, and UCLA transfer Donovan Dent has paced the exhibition slate at 19 points, five boards, and seven assists a night. Opening night also brings the Red Panda act, Bob Pettit lapel pins for the first 2,000 fans, and a moment of silence for Pettit and Dale Brown. We’ll see you out there.

What else is mixed into today’s Bayou Brew? Read on to find out!

⚾ He’s Golden
🏈 Clash with the Longhorns
🐯 And so much more!

🔼 Opening Night Onslaught. The ninth-ranked Tigers torched Southeastern Louisiana 129-35 to open the regular season, and ZaKiyah Johnson was the catalyst with a career-high 33 points on 14-of-19 shooting. The sophomore added 13 rebounds for her fourth career double-double. Texas Southern comes to the Maravich Center next on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.

🔼 He’s Golden. Alex Bregman now owns a Gold Glove in each league, adding the 2026 NL award at third base with the Cubs to the AL trophy he took home with Houston in 2024. Bregman’s glove graded out as the best at his position in MLB this season, and he hit 28 homers with 93 RBI while he was at it.

🔼 Clash With The Longhorns. Texas at LSU lands on ABC on Nov. 14, and the only question left is whether the Tigers are playing in the afternoon or under the lights. Kickoff will be either 2:30 or 6:30 p.m. CT, with the network holding off until the Nov. 7 games shake out.

Bregman won a Gold Glove at third base, but what position earned him national player-of-the-year hardware at LSU?
