BATON ROUGE — The Louisiana Christian University men’s basketball program spent its second straight night in the state capital while facing off against the pair of NCAA Division I schools in town, dropping its regular season opener at Southern University by a score of 94-60 on Tuesday evening.

The Wildcats were beaten Monday night in an exhibition game at LSU, then made their official season debut a few miles up the Mississippi River on the bluff at Southern.

Kylan Williams set career-highs in both points (12) and rebounds (6), his first time crossing the double-digit scoring plateau in a contest while his half-dozen boards was the most on the club to go along with making four of his five shots.

Drew Tebbe scored a high volume in a short span, dropping six free throws made, a personal-best, in only seven minutes.

Konnor DeJean was the third and final Wildcat student-athlete to raise his benchmark in a statistical category, going for a quartet of rebounds.

Freshman Omarion Layssard from Northwood-Lena led the offense at a team-leading 13 points on top of three rebounds and an even 50.0 field-goal percentage (5-for-10).

D’Marcus Fugett played the role of floor general on the night, fronting the squad with three assists and a pair of steals while Charles Jones put together a eight-point, two-steal showing.

LCU settles back into its level of competition (NAIA) in games that count from here on out, starting with a trip to see its old Red River rivals over in Marshall, Texas on Saturday at 4 p.m. against Wiley.
