LSU should be ranked already, but a win over the Belmont Bruins would certainly put the Tigers inside the top 25.
The Bruins are 3-1 on the young season after Friday’s 97-78 win on the road at Kennesaw State. Belmont shot 53 percent and made 10 three-pointers. Nick Muszynski led Belmont with 25 points, with Will Richard scoring 17 and Michael Shanks 16.
Belmont returns 97 percent of its offensive production and minutes from last season and the Bruins Have earned wins in recent years over SEC teams Vanderbilt, Georgia, Alabama, and Missouri. This is a team that knows how to shoot the basketball and could go toe-to-toe with LSU, as the Tigers themselves play sound offense.
In LSU’s 85-46 win over McNeese on Thursday, both Darius Days and Tari Eason had double-doubles. Days posted his active SEC career leading 17th double against the Cowboys while Eason has his third in the first four games of the season. Xavier Pinson and Eric Gaines combined for 14 assists in the win.
