Weil BATON ROUGE, LA - LSU welcomed UNO to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and then went on to earn a very ugly, 86-70 victory over the Privateers. It was the perfect example of a talented LSU team playing flat and down to their opponents level. They played with very little life or spark against a very bad (2-8) UNO team. LSU shot 32-70 from the floor for 46% in the game. They hit 7-29 three point attempts. At the free throw line, the Tigers sank 15-21 for 71%. They committed 13 turnovers while forcing 9. LSU won the rebound battle, 50-37. Vyctorius Miller led the team with 17 points. Cam Carter finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds for a double-double. Corey Chest registered a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Dji Bailey added 12 points on the day. Jordan Sears finished with 10 points. Damion Collins had 8. Curtis Givins III finished with 7 points. Robert Miller III added 4 while Derek Fountain managed 2 points. The Tigers started slow as they usually do, as UNO took an 8-4 lead at the 17:28 mark forcing Matt McMahon to call a timeout. With 10:55 left in the first half, LSU found themselves down by five, 15-10 to the Volunteers. The Tigers continued there inconsistent, sloppy play over the next three minutes. At the 7:52 official's timeout, UNO led, 19-17, with the quiet PMAC crowd patiently waiting for something to cheer about. In an ugly basketball game, we found things all even at 23-23 with 3:57 left in the first half. A terribly played first half mercifully came to an end with LSU leading 30-29 at the break. LSU shot 41% in the first half along with a miserable 2-16 from behind the three point line. They were 2-4 from the free throw line. The Tigers committed nine turnovers over the first 20 minutes, and won the rebound battle, 24-21. Cam Carter led the team at the break with 9 points. Vyctorius Miller scored 7 points. Dji Bailey finished with 6. Corey Chest added 4 points. Both Curtis Givens III and Daimion Collins both has 2 points each. Nothing changed early in the second half as both teams continued their sloppy play, but the Tigers eventually would outscore UNO, 16-8 to take a 46-38 lead at the 12:59 mark. The Tigers finally took control of the contest, going on a 15-12 run over the next five minutes to lead to 68-50 with 7:58 left on the clock. With 3:42 left in the contest, LSU held a 20 point advantage, 77-57, as the crowd slowly began to make their way to the exits. The Tigers improve to 10-2 as they will now take their Christmas break. Next up, LSU will play Mississippi Valley State on Sunday, December 29 at 6:00 pm in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
