3 Johnny Jones Head Coach 3rd year at LSU (15th year as head coach) The season at LSU is Johnny Jones third as head coach of the Tigers and that is important. But more importantly, the Jones legacy at LSU hits an important milestone in years: Four years as a player. 13 years as a member of Dale Brown s coaching staff Now, three years as the head coach at LSU. In two years, Jones has established his program at LSU from foundation to building the floors of the program. His teams have won 39 games over those two years (the most by any LSU coach in their first two years as head coach in the long Southeastern Conference era) and the Tigers appearance last year in post-season made him only the second LSU head coach in SEC history to take the Tigers to a tournament in the first two years. Now as the season begins, he has his staff in place and his players in place with more on the way to make the LSU program a continued player on the league and national stage. For Jones, just the fifth LSU alum to hold the top position in the men s basketball program and the third to have played and served as head coach, his beliefs about reaching out to fans and giving them an exciting style of basketball to watch in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center has been a strong selling point to fans and recruits alike. In his time at LSU, the Tigers have brought in nationally-ranked recruiting classes and two of those players enter the season off results that earned them SEC citations. Jones in his two seasons have put on the floor teams that will play hard from start to finish and play a style of basketball that makes players want to showcase their talent in a team concept. In his opening statement after being hired, Jones brought back the HIT philosophy of LSU Basketball that Coach Dale Brown used when Jones played and coached. The HIT philosophy stands for Hard, Intelligent and Together. More than anything, Jones, since his hiring on April 13, 2012, has gone out of his way to embrace all aspects of the community, traveling throughout the state on the LSU Tiger Tour and speaking to civic groups and youth organizations. Included in his points in all his stops was how much he wants people to embrace LSU basketball. It s not only fans he wants The Johnny Jones Record /----OVERALL---/ /---CONF.---/ to hear that message but high school coaches who are excited again to have LSU coaches visiting with them on a regular basis. LSU and Coach Jones has a successful booster club that gathers before each game for food and scouting reports in the practice facility prior to each home game, Jones is also hosting public luncheons each month to talk to fans about their basketball program and the luncheons are drawing strong crowds each month during the season. In his first year at the helm, the Tigers won 19 games and became one of the league s toughest teams by winning 10-of-their-last-16 games against SEC competition while making a school record 234 three-pointers while posting five players scoring in double figures. It was a team that brought memories of Coach Brown s first team in the 1970s that was known as The Hustlers. In , the Tigers came right back and won 20 games and advanced to post-season play for the first time since LSU advanced to the NIT and went to San Francisco and walked away with a victory. Johnny O Bryant, who would be selected in the NBA draft by Milwaukee, would earn All-SEC first-team honors, as would freshman Jordan Mickey. Aother freshman, Jarell Martin, would overcome an early ankle injury to earn freshman All-SEC honors with Mickey. This is Jones third career head coaching position he has served as the interim head coach at the University of Memphis during the season and began his run as the head coach at the University of North Texas prior to the season. At LSU, Jones 19 first-season wins in 2013 was the second most games ever won by a first-year LSU coach. In Jones first two seasons, LSU has averaged over 70 points for the first time in consecutive seasons since the 2005 and 2006 campaigns. When Johnny Jones suited up for his first game as an LSU Tiger against Colgate in the Great Alaskan Shootout on Nov. 28, 1980, it would mark the first of 121 games that he would play for LSU. Then the player would turn assistant coach and be on the bench with Coach Dale Brown for another 407 contests. As a player at LSU, besides playing on the 1981 NCAA Final Four team, Jones started 54 career games. Jones is the only person in LSU history to both play (1981) and coach (1986, asst.) in an NCAA Final Four. Johnny Jones and his wife Kelli, have two children, John and Jillian. YEAR SCHOOL W-L PCT.

Started vs. UMass (12/2). The Numbers Game Here are some of the important numbers with the LSU basketball program: 107 This was the 106th season of basketball at LSU LSU record when scoring 80 or more points in the Coach Jones era No. of games LSU hit at least 9 treys in a game last season Record in overtime games this season; 3-3 in Jones tenure Record in Jones era when outrebounding opponent Record when holding opponents to 36.4 percent or lower field goal percentage Wins in Jones tenure when down at halftime in 30 games (including both this year) 3 Number of wins in Jones tenure when down double digits at halftime (Texas Tech, 2014; at Mississippi State 2013; Seton Hall, 2012). 13 Number of wins since the start of season when LSU was down double digits at halftime Record in Coach Jones era when shooting 50 percent or higher from the field (3-0 in and in back-to-back games vs. McNeese (11/29) and UMass (12/2)) LSU record under Coach Jones when opp. has 20 or fewer field goals made When LSU records 45 or more rebounds in the Coach Jones era Wins by 5 or fewer pts in Jones era (since 2008, in close games of 5 or fewer ) Number of times, LSU has come from either 16 or 17 points down at some point in a game to win in Jones era LSU record when shooting better than opponent in the Jones era Under Johnny Jones when allowing fewer than 60 points (1-0 in ). Last Time Out LSU 82, Massachusetts 60 (Dec. 2, 2014, Baton Rouge) -- After shooting 65.5 percent in the second half against McNeese (11/29), the Tigers continued to go inside and find scoring available and thus another strong night of shooting in the win over UMass at the Maravich Center. LSU made 19-of-36 field goals in the first half (52.8%) for its best first 20 minutes of the season and then posted 16-of-29 shooting in the final 20 minutes (55.2%) to finish the UMass win, 35-of-65 or 53.8%. LSU shot a pedestrian 38.5% from the arc (5-of-13), but that was helped by Josh Gray s 3-of-4 and Tim Quarterman s 2-of-4. LSU for the second time this season had 52 points in the paint as four players were in double figures Gray made 11-of-15 field goals for an LSU best 25 points with five assists and three steals. Jordan Mickey, who double doubled and had five blocks in his first collegiate game as a freshman against UMass a year ago, did about the same thing with 16 points (7-12 shooting), 10 boards and 5 blocks. Jarell Martin hit 5-of-8 field goals in a 12-point night and Tim Quarterman came off the bench for another 31-minute performance that results in 15 points, three assists and three steals. LSU is now 4-0 at home this season LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

5 Second Half Shooting It s been interesting but in all five LSU wins, the Tigers had definitely a better shooting eye in the second half than the first half (although the percentage as seen above wasn t that great in the UMass win. In fact in two of LSU s victories against Weber State in the Paradise Jam and McNeese State -- LSU posted field goal percentages of 60-plus percent in the second half. Here s the shooting percentage in the second half in LSU s five wins: Gardner Webb (down 1 at the half) 19-of-34, 55.9% Texas Tech (down 12 at the half) 14-of-31, 45.2% Weber State (up 1 at the half) 19-of-31, 61.3% McNeese (tied at the half) 19-of-29, 65.5% UMass (up 12 at the half) 16-of-29, 55.2% In LSU s loss to Old Dominion, LSU shot just 33 percent in the second half after a 44 percent first half and in the loss to Clemson, LSU shot 43 percent in the first half and just 32 percent in the final 20 minutes. Jordan Mickey Makes All-Tournament Team Jordan Mickey s last action was in the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands where he easily earned the choice form the LSU team for the All-Tournament team. However, his injury came in practice after the team returned to Baton Rouge. In the USVI, Mickey averaged 16.7 points per game, the fourth highest scoring average in the three-games in four-day event and tied for the rebound average lead at 10.0 rebounds a game. Mickey s tournament was highlighted by two double doubles including career marks of 27 points and 14 rebounds in the LSU win over Weber State when he made 8-of-10 field goal attempts in the final 20 minutes Seton Hall won the championship game of this year s event, edging Illinois State, Joining Mickey on the all-tournament team were: DaMarcus Harrison, Clemson; Trey Freeman, Old Dominion; DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell, Illinois State; and, Desi Rodriguez, Seton Hall. The MVP of the Tournament was Sterling Gibbs of Seton Hall, who had 40 in the championship game win over Illinois State. Final Game Of First Section Of LSU Basketball Season The trip to Morgantown represents what could be called the end of the first section of the LSU Basketball season. The team will return to Baton Rouge following the game and enter dead week and final exams which will conclude on Dec. 13, just hours before LSU resumes play that night against Sam Houston State. The Tigers will have five non-conference games in that second section of the season before beginning the 18-game Southeastern Conference schedule on Jan. 8 at Missouri. Tigers Looking To Find Shooting touch From The Arc Again Interestingly, in the two halves that LSU shot over 60 percent, the Tigers did not make a habit of shooting threes, finding a way to get inside and to the paint. In the Weber State game, LSU shot just two treys. In the McNeese game, LSU shot just three treys. The Tigers have had a couple of struggles at the line in the Texas Tech game, making just 2-of-19 and then 1-of-13 in the Clemson loss. Throwing out those two games, LSU is 26-of-75 for the other four games (34.7 percent), a more normal percentage for the trey shot. LSU is 29-of-107 for the season or 27.1 percent. Opponents are making 32 percent (39-of-122). LSU is 13th in the league in three-point percentage, one of seven league teams shooting below 31 percent. LSU is 13th in makes in the SEC at 4.1 a game. LSU set a school mark for three-pointers made in 2013 (234) and followed it up with 231 in JORDAN MICKEY (13) Game Date Pts Reb (9) at UMass vs. NW State vs. UNO vs. SJU (at OSC) vs. Missouri vs. Arkansas vs. Auburn at Florida vs. UK (SECT) (4) vs. Texas Tech vs. Weber State vs. Clemson vs. UMass JARELL MARTIN (5) Game Date Pts Reb (1) vs. McNeese (4) vs. Gardner-Webb vs. Texas Tech vs. Old Dominion vs. McNeese CAREER DOUBLE-DOUBLES TEAM RUNS (TT, WSU, McN, UMass) (vs. GWU) (vs. GWU) (UMass) (vs. McN) Assists to Baskets The Tigers had a strong assist-to-turnover ratio in the McNeese game (11/29) Saturday with 20 assists for 33 made buckets or 60.1 percent. Josh Gray has seven assists and Tim Quarterman had six assists in the game. Five players who had assists had a positive assist-to-turnover ratio in the game. For the season, LSU has had 108 assists for 205 made baskets of 52.7 percent. The Tigers have a positive assist-to-turnover ratio of Gray is continuing a tradition that dates back to at least the year 2000 where the lead point guard has a positive assist-to-turnover ratio. Through seven games, the junior college transfer has 32 assists and 24 turnovers. Tim Quarterman has a ratio of 22-to-14. Points In the Paint Helped LSU Wins Points in the paint helped tremendously with LSU s two 60-percent shooting halves with LSU getting 52 total points in the paint against Weber State and 48 against McNeese State. In the halves in which LSU shot 60 percent, the Tigers had 34 points in the paint against Weber and 32 in the paint against McNeese State (11/29). The latter 32 came without Jordan Mickey on the court as well as he DNP in that game. Against UMass (12/2), LSU posted 30 points in the paint in the first half en route to another 52-point game in the paint LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

Their last game was on Saturday as the Mountaineers won an decision over College of Charleston. Jonathan Holton led West Virginia with 21 points (9-13 FGs) and 10 rebounds, while Jaysean Paige had 15 points and Juwan Staten 10. The Mountaineers made 30-of-66 field goals and 20-of-26 free throws with a edge on the glass. West Virginia defeated George Mason, Boston College and UConn to win the Puerto Rico Tip-Off last month. Bob Huggins, winner of 747 career games, is in his 33rd year as head coach. He is the third-winningest active Division I coach behind Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim. Against Ranked Teams This will be the first ranked team LSU has played this season and since the AP Poll began, LSU is against Top 25 teams (20.7 percent) Against teams ranked 16th in the country, LSU has an 8-5 record. Road Team This will also be the first game of the year on an opponent s home court after four home games and three neutral court games LSU was 4-8 in Johnny Jones first year in Baton Rouge and 4-9 last year for a mark of Overall in its history, LSU is (39.9 percent) on opponent s home courts. 70 Points And More Good; 80 Is Better So with the good shooting has come points and that obviously has been to the Tigers benefit. In the Johnny Jones era, and for that matter in his coaching tenure, the up-beat tempo is something he has professed. At LSU, the Tigers have posted 70 points or more in 45 games early in his third season at LSU. The Tigers have a record of in those 45 games, but a mark of 17-3 in the 20 games LSU has posted 80 points or more. LSU has failed to score 70 points 27 times in that period with a record. LSU averaged 74.7 points per game last year, one of LSU s best scoring totals since 2005 when LSU averaged 75.2 points a contest... It also marked the first time since the 2005 and 2006 seasons when LSU averaged over 70 points in two consecutive seasons... LSU s recent scoring averages: ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; The Tigers return to play Thursday averaging 74.4 points in the first seven games, one of six teams in the Southeastern Conference presently averaging 74 points or more. Defensively, in the 72 games of Coach Jones tenure, LSU is 33-6 when holding teams below 70 points while conversely in the 32 games in which teams have scored 70 points or more against the Tigers, LSU is just Five Players Carrying Early Scoring Load The stats show it perfectly five players averaging in double figures having scored an average of 68.6 of LSU s 74.4 points through the first seven games Jordan Mickey, Jarell Martin, Josh Gray and Keith Hornsby have been in double digits since the season began, but Tim Quarterman cracked that after his strong play of late Mickey is at 17.5 points per game, Jarell Martin 15.9 ppg, Josh Gray 12.7 ppg, Keith Hornsby 11.9 ppg and Tim Quarterman 10.6 ppg. Three of LSU s players are in the top 25 in scoring Mickey (2nd), Martin (5th) and Gray (21st). Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock Through seven games, LSU has five players averaging over 31 minutes a game and four of those are in the top 10 in minutes average in the Southeastern Conference LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

7 Jordan Mickey is averaging 36.0 mpg, first in the league; Keith Hornsby is at 34.6 mpg, third in the league; Jarell Martin averages 34.4 mpg, fourth in the SEC; and, Josh Gray, at 33.7 mpg, is in the seventh spot in league minutes play. Tim Quarterman is at 31.0 minutes per contest, but that does not make the top 10. Wait, No Blocks, Six Assists The stat sheet may have seemed a little unusual in one regard from last year to this year s first game sheet that came out after the Nov. 15 opener with Gardner Webb. Jordan Mickey, who became the first player since Shaquille O Neal at LSU to block 100 shots in a single season, had no blocks. While the sheet showed no blocks, but did double his previous high assist total of six. Mickey had 21 points and those six assists in 33 minutes. Now Back to the Block Numbers-- Mickey posted his 11th game of 5 or more blocks against UMass Tuesday and it was the second straight year he had five blocks against the Minuteman. That puts him at 120 career blocks, two shy of passing Storm Warren for fourth place on LSU s school block list: 1. Shaquille O Neal Chris Johnson Stromile Swift Storm Warren Jordan Mickey He is third in the league in career active block leaders: Willie Cauley-Stein; Kentucky; Aaron Jones; Ole Miss; Jordan Mickey; LSU; Double-Doubles for M and M Both Jordan Mickey and Jarell Martin have had double double success this season. Mickey with four in the first six games he has played in has 13 in his career Martin, in seven games, also has four double ups. They join Cinmeon Bowers of Auburn as the league leaders at four each Mickey is the active league leader in double doubles for a career at 13, ahead of Gavin Ware of Mississippi State at 10 Martin has five double doubles in his time at LSU The list of their career double doubles can be found on the page five box on today s notes. Mickey is still averaging a double double at this point of the year 17.5 points and 10.0 rebounds. Martin is at 15.9 points per game and 8.7 rebounds. Mickey is second in the SEC in both points and rebounds, while Martin is fifth in points and third in rebounds. +/- Stats Some of the best numbers this season in the +/- stats as far as efficiency of points for minus points against: Gardner Webb (Nov. 15) Hornsby +23 (68 PF, 45 PA); Mickey +21 (86-65) Starting lineup of Hornsby, Mickey, Martin, Gray and E. Robinson III played 11:43 and was +16. Texas Tech (Nov. 18) Quarterman +16 (51-36) Lineup of Martin, Mickey, Hornsby, Gray and Quarterman (21 minutes, +14). Weber State (Nov. 22) Quarterman +19 (59-40); Mickey +18 (72-54) Lineup of Martin, Mickey, Hornsby, Gray and Quarterman (19 minutes, +18) McNeese (Nov. 29) Gray +18 (74-56) When Tim Quarterman and Josh Gray were in the game together in four different lineup combinations, they were a combined +18 in the game. UMass (Dec. 2) Hornsby and Martin had the highest numbers of the season at +25 (Hornsby 72 points for, 47 points against; Martin 70-45) while Quarterman tallied +21 (67-46) and Gray +19 (71-52) The fivesome of Martin, Hornsby, Gray, Quarterman and Mickey tallied +15 (33-18) for the 12:30 they were on the floor together. Going For Fourth Consecutive Winning Season At LSU -- The Tigers won 20 games last season, giving LSU three consecutive seasons with winning records (18 in 2012, 19 in 2013, 20 in 2014). Now three consecutive winning seasons may not seem like much but when it comes to streaks of winning season in LSU s basketball history, there are only five streaks that are longer 4 from ; 5 from ; 6 from ; 9 from ; and, 11 from The Pre-Season Polls and Accolades The Tigers were picked anywhere from third to fifth in the SEC, depending on the poll including a fourth place choice in the SEC Media poll behind Kentucky, Florida and Arkansas. Web sites and magazines have dropped accolades on some of the Tigers in the preseason: CBSsports.com put the LSU men s basketball front court fifth in the country in its top 10 behind only Kentucky, Wisconsin, Arizona and Texas.

Combining returning players Jordan Mickey and Jarell Martin with the now-departed Johnny O Bryant, the Tigers dominated the interior and nearly earned an NCAA Tournament berth... This season, sophomores Mickey and Martin return, which should again give the Tigers a fearsome twosome that teams will try to avoid playing attacking. Mickey is the defensive wizard, a long shot-blocking dynamo who relies on his tremendous athleticism to create an impact on the game. Offensively, he s best off the dribble and in transition, where he can allow that athleticism to shine. On the other end of the spectrum is Martin... can knock down shots from the outside and has a more polished dribble-drive game. These two should combine to dominate the paint for the Tigers and lead them back to the NCAA Tournament after a six year absence... Both Mickey and Martin were listed in the top 100 players as selected by both ESPN.com and CBSsports.com and Mickey earned a second-team pre-season All-Defensive team selection by CBS. Athlon s had both players in their list of the nation s top sophomores for Jon Rothstein of CBSsports.com posted Josh Gray in his 10 best (no particular order) junior college transfers to watch; and, Keith Hornsby in his top under-the-radar transfer players list. Mickey has also been listed on the John Wood Top 50 players preseason list as one of seven Southeastern Conference players on the list and most recently the United States Basketball Writers Association has put Mickey on its list of pre-season watch players for its national player of the year award, named for Oscar Robertson. Bridgewater Getting Back To Form It s always a question as to how players will respond after that year off, whether it was a transfer year or in Bridgewater s case of a clearinghouse issued that didn t allow him to practice with the team last year, but did allow him to come to LSU and receive aid. Bridgewater has played in all seven games, though just a couple of minutes Tuesday night, and is averaging 3.7 points per game and 1.3 rebounds a game, but against McNeese (11/29), he came off the bench to play 22 minutes, hit 7-of-8 field goal attempts and finished with a strong 16 points and five rebounds. His minutes went up with the decision not to play Jordan Mickey in that contest. Bridgewater is from Baton Rouge and played for Scotlandville in his final high school season of Keith Hornsby Trying to Get Touch Going Again Another player looking for his spot after seven games is Keith Hornsby. The transfer from UNC- Asheville has started all seven games and is averaging 11.9 points per game, but was not in double figures the last three games (had nine points, 4 assists vs. UMass -12/2). He is also looking to get his three-point shooting going which has seen in the last three games his 40-plus percent shooting percentage drop to 10-of-34 (29.4 percent) Hornsby is averaging 5.3 rebounds and has 17 assists and 10 steals. John Odo Makes Splash in Clemson Game The senior junior college player from Nigeria had been working hard to develop aggressive play that he could take to the game court and he was given that opportunity with a start against Clemson (11/24). He played 24 minutes, made 3-of-4 field goal attempts and tied his LSU high of 7 points scored with four rebounds and 1 block. Odo kept the starting spot in the McNeese game (11/29) and played 13 minutes, making his only field goal attempt. He had two rebounds and two assists with no turnovers. He again got the start versus UMass and played 22 minutes with five points and equaled his career high with three blocks Odo has appeared in five games this year and is averaging 2.8 points per game and 1.6 rebounds a game. In all Odo has played 33 career games at LSU and these were his first three LSU starts. For his career, he is 17-of-27 from the field or 6-of-9 this year. Josh Gray Floor General The scoring game that everyone was waiting for came out against UMass, but Josh Gray has been a good floor general as well with 32 assists in the first 7 games of the season Against UMass (12/2), Gray hit 11-of-15 field goals, including 3-of-4 three-point field goals while scoring 25 points with five assists and three steals Gray, a JC transfer, is averaging 4.6 assists a game and that is fourth in the SEC He is averaging 12.7 points per game. He is at 34-of-71 from the field for 47.9 percent and now 7-of-16 from the arc for 43.8 percent. Of his 32 assists, 17 have come in the last three games. Tim Quarterman Gets Solid Minutes For the sophomore guard, the improvement in quality and aggressiveness of play has been a big plus for the LSU team in the first seven games. Last year in 33 games, Tim Quarterman averaged 12.3 minutes per game, shot just 26.4 percent FG percentage (28-106), was from the arc (20.8), from the line (54.8 percent) and averaged 2.5 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. This year in just seven games (six off the bench and a start against McNeese-11/29), Quarterman has averaged 31.0 minutes, has made 26-of-56 field goal attempts (46.4 percent), with seven treys (7-22, 31.8%). He is averaging 10.6 points per game and 5.1 rebounds per contest LSU MEN S BASKETBALL

9 In his last three games after posting 15 against UMass (12/2), Quarterman has scored a combined 45 points (16 vs. Clemson, 14 vs. McNeese, 15 vs. UMass), making 17 of 34 field goals and 20 rebounds. Quarterman for the season is 15-of-20 at the free throw line, 75.0 percent.

He is hopeful to be back on the court by the end of the year. Nation s Top Recruit Signs With Tigers The long-hoped for signing day finally came for LSU Basketball and the nation s top-ranked high school player, Ben Simmons on Nov. 12. As expected, Simmons signed with the Tigers, and the LSU compliance office announced it had received and approved the national letter-of-intent papers... The 6-10 forward, an Australian native, plays for Montverde in Florida. The school has won the last two prep national championships and is ranked No. 1 in the country entering the season by USA Today. We are thrilled to have Ben Simmons and his wonderful family officially joins the LSU basketball family, said LSU Head Basketball Coach Johnny Jones. His talent level, hard work and passion for the game will allow him to make an immediate impact on the program. Last season, Simmons averaged 18.5 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.7 assist a game while shooting 69 percent from the floor and 77 percent from the free throw line. He recorded 88 blocks as well. Montverde was 28-0 last season, closing with a victory over Oak Hill Academy in the Dick s Sporting Good High School National Tournament at Madison Square Garden. Simmons had 24 points and 12 rebounds, earning MVP honors... This past summer at the NIKE EYBL Peach Jam in Georgia, Simmons averaged 18 points, 6.5 rebounds and almost three assists for a Florida-based team. He was later named the high school MVP at the NBAPA Top 100 camp and also attended and had a strong showing at the LeBron James Skills Academy. Simmons is ranked No. 1 in America by Rivals.com, 247 sports.com, ESPN.com and No. 2 by Scout. com. Although former signees have won national high school post-season awards after their senior seasons, this is believed to be the first No. 1 player the Tigers have signed in the early signing period.
