“We look forward to the opportunity against Texas (Saturday),” LSU coach Matt McMahon said on Friday. “This is the first time you play them as an opponent of SEC. I think they have a really good basketball team. Their four leading goal scorers can really put points on the board. There is a lot of talk about the age and experience and depth of SEC.

“But this is also a special class of freshmen in the group. Tre Johnson is certainly in the forefront, an average of 19 games. (Arthur) Kaluma, the transfer from State K, was great. (Jordan) Pope from Oregon, fantastic; And then (Tramon) Mark, with whom we played last year in Arkansas, do you know that all four can put huge numbers. All four shoots over 37 percent of three, and four positives for turnover. All four really shoot it well on the free throw line. They certainly have other really good players, but I think these four stand out for their ability to break out for points quickly. ”

LSU heads on the road after the Texas match, traveling to Athens to play with Georgia on Wednesday before returning home for a rematch against Ole Miss on February 8th.
