SHREVEPORT,
La. - The no. 20 LSU Shreveport Pilots had no problems with the
University of Southwest Mustangs taking down the visitors by a final
score of
117-73 in Red River Athletic Conference play at The Dock. The high
thriving offense for the Pilots produced six scorers in double figures
with Rodney Milum leading all scorers with 33 points.
LSUS
(19-5, 14-4 RRAC) knocked down 52-percent from the field with Breion
Beaver leading all bench scorers with 16 points as did Tevin Hall.
Starters Brandon
Davis and Mark Politte each netted 11 points. Jake Greene poured in 10
points off the bench as the LSUS bench outscored Southwest's 76-25.
The
Pilot's defense forced 16 turnovers and capitalized with 26 points off
the Southwest miscues. LSUS won the rebounding battle 55-49 but did not
have any
players with double figures as Politte led the way with nine rebounds
and every player had at least three.
Southwest
(4-22, 1-19 RRAC) had just two scorers in double digits with Jonathan
Williams leading the box score with 26 points but he received two
technical
fouls which led to his ejection with 11 minutes to play in the contest.
Curtis Thompson Jr., was the only other double figure scorer with 15
points.
The Mustangs shot a slim 34-percent against the stout Pilot defense and was just six of 35 attempts from downtown.
