Daimion Collins played 24 minutes and had 13 points.
He also had 7 turnovers, zero blocks and only 5 rebounds. That’s a bit disappointing.
It looks like LSU shot the ball extremely well. 57% overall; 56% from three. The FT% was a solid 72%.
PR only shot 42% overall; 27% from 3, and 64% from the FT.
That kind of discrepancy should have resulted in a 20 point blowout for LSU…if not for a ridiculous 29 turnovers. Wilkinson and Collins combined for 13!! That overall number is outrageously bad.
LSU was a turnover machine to start last season. They eventually got much better in that category. However the offense got much worse.
It looks like LSU had roughly 100 possessions. That’s a really fast tempo and seems to be in line with how McMahon wants to play. But in no way can you play that style if you’re turning the ball over on 1/3rd of your possessions. It masks the fact LSU didn’t seem to play THAT bad defensively.
It will be interesting to see if that number improves tomorrow (it can’t get much worse). On the flip side, 57% shooting with 20 assists on 29 made baskets means the ball was moving! Stewart nearly had a triple-double!

I am not so worried about the turnovers this early in the season.
1) it's August with a lot of new faces
2) the expected starting pg is out.
3) 9 of the to's happened in the 3rd Q with odd lineups and a huge lead.
4) they recovered with only 4 in the 4th to close out the game.
Now if Cook isn't eligible, I will be watching the TO's a lot closer. And of course things mean a lot more when the real season starts. But I like the shooting numbers and quick start to the game. Mwani and Ward may lead the team from the 3 spot.
