For the first year plus, Mitchell came off the bench for the Tigers and was thought of as one LEADING REBOUNDERS -- of the best sixth man candidates in the Southeastern Conference. He moved into the starting lineup in mid- 2 -- Glen Davis -- Nicholls (13), WVU (14) 1 -- Tasmin Mitchell -- Southern (12) season of his sophomore season, a position he has secured since then, but mainly played primarily the off- 1 -- Tyrus Thomas -- Houston (12) guard in a three-guard offense. Mitchell through four games has 24 assists and is second in assist average in the league at 6.00 ... His LEADING ASSISTS -- career total of 155 steals is seventh on the all-time LSU steals list. 2 -- Darrel Mitchell -- Southern (7), Nicholls (9) Ironically, as LSU has struggled at the free throw line, after going 3-of-6 in the first two games at the 2 -- Tasmin Mitchell -- WVU (5), Houston (7) stripe, the senior is 8-of-9 at the charity stripe the last two games at West Virginia and against Houston.

It now gives him 1 -- Magnum Rolle 13 career starts and these four are the first since the final game of his freshman year when he moved into the starting lineup to replace the then-departed Jaime Lloreda. NO. OF PLAYERS IN DOUBLE FIGURES FOR LSU The emergence of Lazare continued against Nicholls State when he played 20 minutes, scoring a career 1 2 3 4 5 6 or more high 16 points, hitting 7-of-12 field goal attempts. It was his fourth career double figure scoring game. In four 121 games, he is averaging 6.3 points per game and 4.5 rebounds a contest, hitting 9-of-19 from the field.

Garrett Temple Okay, LSU public address announcer Dan Borne' hasn't quite come up with the catchy, "CT3 for 3" call like he used for his older brother, Collis Temple III, when he played at LSU earlier in the decade, but he may be working on it because this Temple can hit a three-pointer as well. Garrett Temple started his first game after a hard-working redshirt season and the freshman played 28 minutes, scoring six points, including a three-pointer. He followed that up with the Nicholls State game where he scored in double figures with 10 points, five assists and just one turnover. Temple didn't score against West Virginia, but was in the game for a strong 40 minutes, working hard in the defense of the Mountaineers … Through four games, Temple is averaging 4.0 points per game, 2.5 rebounds and 28 minutes a game.

LSU MEN’S BASKETBALL CAREER DOUBLE-DOUBLES In the Southern game, Temple became the third member of his family to start a basketball game for LSU. His father, Collis Temple, Jr., played for Coach Dale Brown in the 1970s, and, his older brother, Collis Temple GLEN DAVIS (13) III was a fixture for John Brady's team earlier in the decade. His father also made note for not only his play Game Date Pts Reb on the court, but the fact he was the first African-American to play basketball for LSU.

UAB 3-17-05 18 11 Southern 11-18-05 18 10 In the opening game of his college career, Mitchell hit 8-of-15 field goals, including two treys to finish Nicholls State 11-21-05 19 13 with a game-high 19 points. In addition he had 12 rebounds for a college double-double in his first game … West Virginia 11-26-05 23 14 Mitchell's 12 rebounds included four offensive rebounds and added four steals ...

In the league minutes played list, Mitchell is fourth at 34.50 minutes per game. Glen Davis 8 Darrel Mitchell 4 Tyrus Thomas Tack Minor 1 Tasmin Mitchell 1 If the first game was great, maybe the second game was something special and he has developed an Tyrus Thomas 1 anticipation out of his audience to see what will happen next as redshirt freshman Tyrus Thomas continues to delight people with his athleticism and his soft shooting touch. Consecutive Games Without Fouling Out So far in four games, Thomas is 28-of-34 from the field (82.4 percent, best in the league, best in the Darnell Lazare 58 nation), averaging 17.3 points per game and 9.0 rebounds per game.
