BATON ROUGE - The NCAA Tournament run for LSU could not have gotten off to a hotter start for the LSU Tigers in their opening round game against Jacksonville on Friday evening at the Maravich Center.

LSU jumped out to a 14-0 lead on the Dolphins and set a NCAA record for points in a quarter as they started the game with a 34-14 opening frame of action.

The Tigers led 64-36 at the half well on their way to breaking their season average of points in a game which is around 95 points a game.

LSU was led at the break in scoring by Mikaylah Williams with 16 points and Flau'jae Johnson with 13 points.

LSU is looking to beat the Dolphins and advance onto Sunday's NCAA Second Round game against the winner of Texas Tech and Villanova which will be played later Friday night.
