Marquel Sutton - Scores 15, grabs 15 boards Sutton provided 15 points (4-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds and one block in 32 minutes during Monday's 93-58 win over New Orleans.
Impact Sutton had just two rebounds in the opener against Tarleton State, but it looked like his hands had rebounding magnets against the Privateers. The 6-8 senior averaged 7.9 rebounds for Omaha last season and had eight double-doubles. LSU plays Sutton's previous team on Nov. 21, but has two games against Florida International and Alcorn State before then.

Mike Nwoko - Scores 22 in blowout win Nwoko registered 22 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 93-58 win over New Orleans.
Impact The transfer from Mississippi State had 11 points, eight rebounds and three blocks in the opening win over Tarleton State. He looks like a rock solid starter with the Tigers and should get more minutes in more competitive games. The LSU non-conference slate is light, so Nwoko might see limited playing time for the next couple weeks.

Pablo Tamba - Snags double-double Tamba notched 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 21 minutes during Monday's 93-58 victory over New Orleans.
Impact The UC-Davis transfer had just four points and five rebounds in 15 foul-plagued minutes in the opening win over Tarleton State. The 6-7 Spaniard had one double-double last season. He will look to get more playing time against lightly regarded opponents such as Florida International and Alcorn State coming up.
