What to watch for
Young guys: LSU’s team will have a new look, beginning Monday night in the Tigers’ exhibition game versus Reinhardt — which already has claimed four wins this season in NAIA play and is averaging 87.2 points per game through those wins this season. LSU is expected to feature at least three new starters in Monday’s exhibition game after losing Ben Simmons, Tim Quarterman and Keith Hornsby to the NBA last year.
Expected starting lineup:
- G Antonio Blakeney
- G Jalyn Patterson
- G Brandon Sampson
- F/C Duop Reath
- F Aaron Epps
Why not Craig Victor?
Here’s what LSU coach Johnny Jones said recently regarding Victor’s availability, or lack thereof, toward the beginning of LSU’s new season:
“He won’t take floor for us on Monday and actually he will be out our first couple of games because of team rules in place that you have to abide by and he failed to do that,” the coach said. “But [Victor] is certainly back on track now and is taking care of his responsibilities and we look forward to him being back on the floor soon.”
