Williams Showcases Maturation with Another Double-Double

Emmitt Williams may wear bright yellow shoes and extra short shorts, but what's garnering the sophomore forward most of his attention lately is his play on the floor.

"I've been getting buckets in them," he joked about his Spongebob-themed Kyrie's after LSU's 90-54 win over New Orleans Tuesday night. "So why stop?"

It didn't stop against the Privateers, as he registered his second double-double of the season and continued to show why he's one of the highest-rising players in the SEC. On Tuesday, Williams provided the Tigers with a much-needed boost of energy on both ends of the floor, tallying a team-high 18 points, 10 rebounds and a steal, helping extend the team's home winning streak to eight games dating back to Feb.
