Da Boot Sports 11/7/2024 By: Mark Hawkins BATON ROUGE, LA - Wednesday night the LSU basketball faithful settled into the PMAC with anticipation for the 2024-25 season opener. The fans sat eagerly waiting to see what this year's men's basketball team will look like under 3rd year head coach Matt McMahon. Those in attendance along with the coach and his staff would be thrilled with what they witnessed, as the Tigers ran away with their season opener in route to a convincing, 95-60 victory over UL Monroe. The Tigers jumped out to a big lead and went into halftime with a 50-27 lead. LSU was led in the first half by junior Jalen Reed, who had 16 points and six rebounds at intermission. Along with his hot shooting from the floor, (5 for 5), Reed would finish the night with a career high, 8 of 9 from the floor for 24 points with eight rebounds. LSU also had a great night from senior transfer Cam Carter. The Kansas State transfer and Louisiana native, finished his debut night as a Tiger with 21 points, four rebounds and an assist. Freshman newcomer Curtis Givens III chipped in 15 points, six rebounds and two assist. Givens and Carter both connected on four three pointers each. Coach McMahon was pleased with the way his team shot the ball from the free throw line as the Tigers went 17-19 on the night. LSU out-rebounded the Warhawks, 45-30. Coach McMahon was also pleased with his team's performance, especially how well they played on defense, rebounded and guarded against the three point shot. The Tigers will look to continue their winning ways and improve on their overall shooting when they take on Alabama State on Sunday, November 10th at 4pm in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
