BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Cam Carter and reserve Vyctorius Miller each scored 16 points, Dji Bailey scored 14 points and LSU Tigers demolished Stetson Hatters 99-53 on Tuesday night.
Corey Chest scored 13 points and Curtis Givens III 12 for LSU (9-2), whose bench alone made 13 field goals compared to Stetson's 18 total.
If there was a bright spot for the Hatters (1-10), guard Mehki Ellison scored a game-high and career-high 23 points on 9-for-18 shooting. Reserve Jordan Wood scored 10 points.
LSU built a 17-0 lead in just a little more than the first nine minutes. Ellison's jump shot marked the first basket of the game for Stetson with 10:19 left before halftime. They wouldn't score again for another 5 1/2 minutes when Tristan Gross made a 3-pointer to reduce the deficit to 29-5. LSU led 47-10 at halftime.
Stetson will try to end its 10-game losing streak against NCCAA member Fort Lauderdale on Sunday. LSU - which has played seven of its first 11 games at home - hosts New Orleans on Sunday.
