Weil BATON ROUGE, LA - LSU returned home to the Pete Maravich Assembly to host the Northwestern State Demons on Friday night and came away with a 77-53 win after a slow start. After struggling in the first half, the Tigers shifted it into another gear over the last 20 minutes of the contest to pull away. LSU finished the night shooting 26-58 from the floor for 45%. They hit 10-27 from behind the arc for 37%. The Tigers shot well from the charity stripe, sinking 15-18 for 83%. Jordan Sears led the Tigers with 18 points. Cam Carter finished with 15 points. Jalen Reed and Vyctorius Miller added 11 points each. Corey Chest contributed 9 points on the night while Dji Bailey and Curtis Givens III scored 5 points each. Robert Miller III added 3 points. “Hope everybody had a happy Thanksgiving. Great credit to (Northwestern State Head) Coach (Rick) Cabrera and Northwestern State in the first half. I thought they had a really good plan. Their mixing of defenses; even in possessions they change coverages and that really bothered us and had us on our heels." said Matt McMahon. "I thought our defense was good enough in the first half minus some second shot opportunities. But was really pleased with our guys coming out of the break. Really turned up the pressure defensively and enabled us to get out in transition and make some big time plays there. I thought much better job attacking the zone, the matchup and then when they would switch to man in the middle of the possession. Thought the ball moved a lot better in the second half and we’re thankful to get the win. Got a great opportunity coming up on Tuesday against a really good Florida State team here in the PMAC. I want to have a great atmosphere at 8 o’clock on Tuesday night.” Both teams struggled to score early as the game was even at 3-3 at the 15:50 mark. The sloppy play continued over the next four minutes, as NSU held a 10-9 lead at the official's timeout with 11:45 in the first half. Over the next eight minutes, the Demons outscored LSU, 14-13 to hold 24-22 lead with 3:49 on the clock. LSU would go into the locker room at the half trailing, 26-25. The Tigers shot poorly in the first half, only hitting 9-26 from the floor for 35%. LSU only hit 3-13 from the three point arc for 23%. They sank 4-6 from the free throw line for 67%. LSU committed 9 first half turnovers while forcing 12. The Demons out-rebounded the Tigers, 22-15 over the first 20 minutes. Jordan Sears and Jalen Reed both led the Tigers with 9 points each. Corey Chest scored three points. Dji Bailey and Vyctorius Miller added two points each.
