Its key for my teammates to space the floor, believing in me to make shots. We have guys who can do things offensively and defensively. We have no one who cannot do a certain thing.Brandon Sampson scored 11 points while Wayde Sims and Duop Reath added 10 points apiece for LSU. The Tigers shot 54 percent from the field, including 9 of 16 from 3-point range.USM was excellent in terms of its speed and athleticism, LSU coach Johnny Jones said.

We did a good job holding them to under 40 percent shooting in the first half.Quinton Campbell led Southern Miss (1-1) with 14 points. Michael Ramey added 13 points and Tim Rowe scored 11. The Golden Eagles, who shot just 39 percent, were 4 of 24 (16.7 percent) from beyond the arc.I cant be disappointed in our effort, Southern Miss coach Doc Sadler said. We get it to five (40-35) and weve got a chance. Then, we give them two straight opportunities for easy baskets. We were going to have to make some 3-point shots. We missed an awful lot of 3-pointers, open shots. Thats where they beat us.BIG PICTURELSU: For the fourth time in Johnny Jones five seasons as coach, the Tigers have won their first two games of the season.
