LSU backcourt heating up
The backcourt of Thomas and Javonte Smart has been a dominant factor when LSU is on offense. Although Thomas had no points scored, Smart finished with 17 on 6-of-14 shooting.
Backup guard Eric Gaines came off the bench in place of Thomas and scored 10 points on 3-of-7 shooting in 28 minutes of action.
Even if Thomas is ineffective, the Tigers have solid bench players that can fill the void.
Ole Miss had a tough time stopping Smart and Gaines on the floor.
