Scores team-high 18 Pettiford contributed 18 points (6-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 92-59 win over Southeastern Louisiana.

Impact Pettiford was not particularly efficient in the opener. He started 36 games for the Tigers last year and converted 39.3 percent of his field goals and 29.0 percent of his 3-pointers. The 6-1 junior is a volume scorer who should get his numbers no matter the level of competition.

Scores 20 in exhibition Pettiford scored a team-high 20 points (6-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT) with two assists and three steals in the exhibition loss to Florida State on Wednesday.

Impact Pettiford averaged 15.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists last season. He only hit 29.0 percent of his 3-pointers, so a modest uptick in long-range accuracy could see the 6-1 junior among the best scorers in the SEC. Pettiford should command plenty of playing time for the Tigers.

He will be among one of the most experienced backcourt players in the country and will be a key factor in the Tigers' success in year two under coach Steven Pearl.
