TRIBUTE TO WAYDE There will be a brief tribute ceremony for the late Wayde Sims following the contest against Southeastern on Tuesday night. The junior at LSU passed away on Sept. 28. The team is wearing patches in honor of Sims and the team put Wayde’s jersey in the middle of the front row when it took the team picture last month. Sims, whose father Wayde played at LSU during the early 1990s for Coach , had played in 63 games over two years. He averaged 5.6 points and 2.9 rebounds last season, playing an average of 17.4 minutes a contest

LSU WIN TOTAL LEAVES LAST YEAR BEHIND LSU, with the NIT win finished with 18 wins, eight more than a year ago, thanks to wins in the final seven home games and the NIT win. LSU had a winning season and it is a fifth consecutive winning record as a head coach in as many years for head Coach Will Wade. LSU finished with eight conference wins and that is six games to the plus from the two that LSU won in 2017.

TIGERS ENTER SEASON WITH HOME WIN STREAK OF SEVEN The Tigers closed the season with six straight SEC wins at home and then an NIT win against UL-Lafayette so the Tigers open with a Maravich Center home win streak of seven, the most to start a season since the Tigers entered the 2006-07 campaign with nine wins ... That streak extended to 11 before being stopped. In the history of the Maravich Center, the Tigers have had 14 streaks of 11 games or more ... The last long winning streak was when LSU won the final three games of the 2007-08 season and then won the first 14 in 2008-09 for a total of 17 games, the fourth longest in the history of the Maravich Center. LSU finished 14-4 at home last year in the Maravich Center. LSU has won 549 games in the 47 years of play in the building and 253 in league play. LSU has won at least six conference home games in five of the last seven

2018-19 LSU MEN’S BASKETBALL seasons. The double figure wins at home marks the 34th time in building history to have double digit wins at CAREER DOUBLE-DOUBLES home. TREMONT WATERS (5) SEASON OPENERS Game Date Pts Asts. The Tigers are 1-0 on opening night in the Will Wade era with last year’s opening night win over Alcorn 2017-18 (5) State ...

State 3/3/18 14 10 Sophomore guard Skylar Mays was named second team Academic All-American as selected by CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) at the end of last season. Mays was originally one of five players named to the District 6 Academic All-District Team selected by CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America). The Academic All-District Men’s Basketball Team recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the class- room. District 6 covers Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Mays was then selected second team Academic A-A based on a vote of the CoSIDA Academic All- America committee. Mays has a 4.01 GPA and is majoring in pre-med/kinesiology ... In addition to the CoSIDA honor, he was honored by the LSU Black Faculty and Staff Cuacus at their annual awards presentation in Spring 2018 as one of the recipients of the Jesse Owens Student Award for the highest GPA by undergraduate student-athletes.

AND MAYS IS VERY GOOD ON COURT In his sophomore year, Mays upped his scoring average three full points at LSU, from 8.3 to 11.3 points per game ... He played in all 33 games starting 30 and in two years has made 55 starts in 64 career games ... The Baton Rouge native averaged 4.0 rebounds a game, 3.0 assists a game and 1.6 steals per contest ... Mays was the second part of Coach Will Wade’s two-point guard system at LSU a year ago and on Feb. 24 against Georgia he became the 33rd player in LSU history to have 200 career assists (210 now) Mays posted an assist-to-turnover number of 97 assists to 56 turnovers .... He was No. 15 in the league in minutes played per game at 31.1 with 22 games in double figures, including eight-of-the-last-10. He has 35 double figure games over two years with 14 career games with five assists or more.

TREMONT WATERS -- POINTING THE WAY As the primary point guard last season for Coach Will Wade, Tremont Waters showed his ability in several different categories -- passing, three-point shooting, steals and some spectacular plays that three times earned him spots on ESPN’s Top 10 Plays of the Day. Now after an All-SEC Freshman team season and having been named first-team Preseason All-SEC by the media, Waters will be expected to add leadership to those abilities as he will be one of four players with returning court time for the Tigers. Waters started 32-of-33 games, playing the last three games in the post-season (SECT, NIT) with a mask after breaking his nose i practice. He averaged 15.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game … He finished the season with 198 assists, topping the school record for freshman of 158 set in 2016 by Ben Simmons and the 198 is also the second most assists in a single season by an LSU player … Waters had 21 games scoring in double figures (10 games of 20 or more points) with five double doubles (four points-assists; one points-rebounds). Waters, according to TeamReference.com, was the first LSU freshman since the 1992-93 season (the last season site database can reference) to average 15 points and five assists in a season …. The last SEC fresh- man to do it was of Kentucky during the 2009-10 season … He finished the season No. 8 in the SEC in scoring, No. 2 in assists, No. 1 in steals, No. 8 in percentage (117-146, 80.1%), seventh in assist-to- turnover ratio (2.1) and sixth in the league in minutes played. Water was named by collegebasketballNBCSports.com fifth on its list of top 20 lead guards for 2018-19. Scott Phillips wrote: “There might not be a guard who is more fun to watch than this 5-foot-11 sophomore. Breaking LSU’s freshman school assists record while pumping in tons of tough shots, Waters averaged 15.9 points, 6.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game last season. With flashy handles and deep perimeter shooting ability, Waters was made to make highlights as he can single-handedly ignite an offense.”

IS THE TWO-POINT GUARD SYSTEM NOW THE THREE POINT-GUARD SYSTEM Okay, the two-point guard system of Waters and Mays certainly worked last year for LSU and Coach Wade is a proponent of having two point guards on the floor to help run the offense smoothly. But when you look at an option like freshman Ja’vonte Smart of Baton Rouge, LSU at times may have three-point guards on the floor. All three players have certainly shown the ability to pass and score the ball so look for that to be an option as this 2018-19 campaign gets under way.

LSU IMPROVES MANY NUMBERS FROM 2017 TO 2018 There was quite a difference in LSU’s stats in many categories in Will Wade’s first season in 2017-18 as compared to the 2016-17 season.

Category NCAA Rk 2016-17 (Stat) NCAA Rk 2017-18 (Stat) % 130 (45.1%) 37 (47.6%) Scoring Offense 118 (74.8) 75 (77.5) Opponents Pts 335 (83.0) 238 (74.6) Scoring Margin 311 (-8.2) 131 (+2.9) Assist-TO Margin 274 (0.87) 75 (1.22) Two-Point FG Pct. 136 (50.2) 16 (56.1%) Free Throw Pct. 199 (69.6) 107 (73.1%)

2018-19 LSU MEN’S BASKETBALL LSU RECORD ... HAVE TIGERS LEARNED TO FINISH? One thing that LSU will look to improve in is the ability to finish games. Although LSU had late finishes on LSU RECORD... 18-19 Wade Era defense against Houston and the win at Texas A&M that involved last second plays, there were six games and In November 4-2 an SEC Tournament game that LSU will look back on as games that they would have liked to have swung back In December 5-1 in their favor: In January 3-6 In February 4-4 (H) Kentucky – L, 74-71 – LSU up 7, 19:39 to play; two shots to tie in final seven seconds. In March 2-2 (H) Alabama – L, 66-74 – LSU up 5, 7:27 1st half; Down 15 2nd half, cut it to four final minutes.
