Darius Days made eight 3-pointers on his way to a career-high 30 points and LSU beat Louisiana-Monroe 101-39 in a season opener

Cashes eight threes in 22 minutes Days (undisclosed) had 30 points (11-13 FG, 8-9 3Pt) and six rebounds across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 101-39 victory over Louisiana-Monroe.

Impact Days and a whole array of teammates were limited during exhibition play, but that will ultimately be a blip on the radar with the team at full strength for this blowout. Now in his third year with the program, Days is the only returning player who averaged double figures last season. Despite an influx of new talent via recruits and transfers, early indications are that Days has a great shot to be the usage leader in 2021-22.

Double-doubles in return Days had 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and 11 rebounds across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 94-80 victory over Mississippi State.

Impact Days may have initially been slated for a multi-week absence but will ultimately only end up missing one game due to a knee injury picked up at the end of January. He doesn't appear to be slowed down by the injury in any capacity, as the junior outpaced his season-long averages in scoring (12.4 ppg) and rebounding (8.1 rpg) in this contest. If an impatient manager happened to drop him in a season-long league, go ahead and scoop up the 6-7 forward in short order.
