Elijah Strong scores career-high 30 points, leads South Carolina over LSU 78-68

Elijah Strong scores a career-high 30 points, leading South Carolina to a 78-68 victory over LSU on Tuesday night

JANUARY 7 • Associated Press

Scores career-high 30 points Strong fouled out of Tuesday's 78-68 victory over LSU after recording 30 points (10-15 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes.

Impact Strong came into the game hitting just 26.1 percent of his 3-pointers, but had the flow against the Tigers. The BC transfer improved his career high by eight points. He fouled out for the second time this season, but the damage was done. The 6-8 forward will look to lead the Gamecocks again on Saturday against Georgia.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Scores team-high 17 Strong supplied 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 83-71 loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact The 6-8 junior has not played more than 20 minutes in his last six games and was only limited by fouls once. Perhaps Saturday's performance against the Commodores will push Strong into more playing time. He has averaged 13.0 points in his last three games. Look for Strong to play more minutes against LSU's impressive frontcourt on Tuesday.
