This season however, Cam decided to bring his talent back home to Louisiana for his senior season and finish his college career at LSU. The Tigers were glad to welcome him, but the same can't be said about his former team and fans as Carter led the Tigers past KSU IN Manhattan on Thursday night. Carter finished the night and the Wildcats off with a spectacular performance, leading the Tigers with a game high 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assist on the night. LSU improved to 3-0, while Kansas State fans watched Carter put up his third twenty plus point game. The Tigers jumped out to a big lead in the first half, leading by as much as 17 points, before going into the half up by 13. LSU played very tough, physical defense against the Wildcats all first half, only allowing 31 points and holding their opponent to 12-33 from the field and 4-13 from three point range. The Tigers shot 17-33 from the field for 51.5% along with 5-15 from the three arc for 33.3%. LSU also shot 100% from the free throw line, going 4-4 in the first half. The second half saw the Tigers get sloppy with the basketball, which resulted in 11 turnoversin the half, after only comitting five in the first period. LSU came up big on the boards after a lackluster performance last time out. The Tigers out-rebounded KSU, 43-25. Leading the Tigers Corey Chest who grabbed 13 rebounds and accounted for 5 points. Kentucky transfer, Junior Daimion Collins had his best night as a Tiger, scoring 12 points along with 3 rebounds. Freshman Vyctorius Miller, son of No Limit rapper Silk the Shocker, had a career high as a Tiger pouring in 15 points, 3 rebounds and two assist in 21 minutes of play. Guard Jordan Sears was also solid on the night with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assist. LSU continues to shoot free throws well. After going 4-4 in the first half, they finished the night 14-18 for 77.8%. Junior Jalen Reed has a nice night on the boards, accounting for 8 rebounds, but was quiet offensively finishing the night with only five points. You could tell the Tigers' height was a difference maker as KSU struggled to score around the basket. Even though LSU only managed two blocked shots on the night, State struggled to finish around the rim. Matt McMahon and his staff has LSU playing some good basketball right now. I think tonight's win was a very solid one and could go along way to determining LSU's NCAA Tournament chances. Even thought it's early, overall LSU's program is headed in the right direction under third year head coach Matt McMahon. The Tigers must continue to work on turnovers and not rely on the three pointer as much. I think we have the much needed depth and size this season down low and on the wing. If the guards continue to improve, the Tigers can make a tournament run along with some noise in the SEC, but again, only time will tell. LSU will be in action again on Tuesday, November 19 in the PMAC against Charleston Southern at 7:oo pm.
