The LSU men’s basketball team avoided an upset at home by the University of New Orleans, but after a slow start, the Tigers finished strong to defeat the Privateers 90-54 Tuesday night in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
“It was a slow start,” said junior forward Emmitt Williams. “As you can see, basketball is a game of runs. We started off kind of slow, but as you see we sped up.”
Two Tigers notched double-doubles by dominating in the paint — sophomore forward Williams led all scorers with 18 points and added 10 rebounds and fellow forward Darius Days had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
