Rivas Helps LSU to Vicotry

Walter Rivas scored in double figures for the third time in three games.  Walter scored 11 points.  His most important points came in the first quarter when Will was taken out of the game due to a bloody nose.  Walter took control of both ends of the court, scoring 5 points in the quarter to lead LSU to a a 6-3 first quarter lead.

After Will Howes returned to the game, LSU never surrendered its lead.  All nine LSU players played intense defense.

Ryan Lane dominated under the boards and scored five points.  He drove a much larger defender crazy.  That defender fouled out of the game.  Noah Kleitsch added four points for LSU.  Will Howes led the way with 19, including three buckets from beyond the arc.

Final score:  LSU 39, Marquette 28.  LSU improves to 2-1 on the young season.
