LSU opened its season with a 96–60 rout of Tarleton State, powered by freshman point guard Dedan Thomas Jr. and wing Max MackinnonNOVEMBER 6 • Associated Press
Robert Miller - Perfect from field Wednesday Miller (ankle) had 10 points (2-2 FG, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 96-60 win over Tarleton St..
Impact Miller was dealing with an ankle injury before this season opener, and while he was limited to 25 minutes off the bench in this one, he certainly made his presence felt across the board. Miller should continue to have a role in the rotation when LSU takes on New Orleans on Monday, Nov. 10.

Ron Zipper - Plays one minute Zipper (undisclosed) ended Wednesday's 96-60 victory over Tarleton St. with no counting stats in one minute.
Impact Zipper logged one minute of action in this blowout 36-point win. He'll be a depth option for the Tigers moving forward.

Dedan Thomas - Deals eight dimes Thomas ended with 16 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and eight assists in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 96-60 victory over Tarleton State.
Impact The UNLV looks ready to run the show on the bayou for coach Mike McMahon. The 6-1 point guard averaged at least 4.7 assists in his two seasons as a starter for the Runnin' Rebels. Although the Tigers' next opponent, New Orleans, pulled off an upset against TCU on Monday, LSU should have no problem with the Privateers. Look for Thomas to continue to put up big numbers.

Jalen Reed - Scores 11, grabs six boards Reed (knee) recorded 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 96-60 victory over Tarleton State.
Impact Reed had his first action since undergoing ACL surgery last December. He came off the bench, but was productive in limited minutes against an overmanned opponent. The Tiger non-conference schedule is light, so the 6-10 junior can be brought along gradually.

Jalen Reed - Available vs. Tarleton State Reed (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against Tarleton State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Now that Reed is available, the question becomes whether or not he can replicate his latest season's stats over a longer span. During his 2024-25 season, he logged 11.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. The problem is that because of his knee injury, Louisiana State used him for fewer than 10 matchups. But leaning towards the optimistic side of the spectrum, Reed continuing to average his aforementioned numbers would easily make him a top option, even with Southeastern Conference standards being exponentially high.
