LSU Basketball Defeats UMBC Despite Slow Start

The University of Maryland-Baltimore County Retrievers may have played spoiler to No. 1 Virginia in the 2018 NCAA Tournament, but they couldn’t upset the Tigers Tuesday night in the PMAC as LSU won 77-50.

Three Tigers were in double-digit scoring in the victory — forward Darius Days (10), forward Trendon Watford (12), and guard Charles Manning Jr. (16) — while Days and Watford both had double-doubles with 10 and 12 rebounds respectively.

This is Days’ second career double-double and his second in two games. LSU coach Will Wade emphasized how important Days is to the success of this team.
