Injury Report for LSU
The LSU Tigers enter the season pretty healthy as the only player who will certainly miss the game is transfer Center Noah Boyde who is still recovering from his ACL Surgery. Derek Fountain was dealing with an injury and missed LSU's exhibition game which is something to keep an eye on.
The Player to Watch for LSU
In LSU's season opener, the player to keep an eye on is Kansas State transfer guard Cam Carter. The Donaldsonville Native returns to Louisiana after a successful career at Kansas State and looks to be the focal point in turning this team around. Coming off of a season where Carter scored 14.6 points per game, Carter is going to take his game to another level and help this team outperform its expectations.
