LSU-Shreveport Pilots Blowout Hutson-Tillotson Rams

On a chilly, overcast Saturday afternoon, the LSU-Shreveport Pilots turned up the heat inside The Dock, getting past the Hutson-Tillotson Rams 115-85.

Power forward Brandon Davis impressed the crowds in his season debut, as Davis had 31 points and 20 rebounds.

Pilots' head coach Kyle Blankenship spoke earlier about the Pilots not having all of the pieces on his roster, to get to where he wanted his team. Was Brandon Davis the missing piece to the puzzle?

Along with Davis, the Pilots' leading scorer all season in Rodney Milum added 27 points, while Rydell Harris had 20 and had his 5th double-double of the season.

The Pilots' defense showed the nation how dominant they are Saturday by forcing a total of 29 turnovers, 21 of those turnovers being steals.

With this victory LSU-Shreveport advances to 8-3 on the season and 4-2 in the Red River Athletic Conference. Meanwhile, the Hutson-Tillotson Rams drop to 2-12 and 1-7 in the conference.

You have a chance to watch the high-dieseled Pilots tomorrow night at The Dock on the campus of LSU-Shreveport on Monday at 7:30 p.m. The Pilots will square off against the Saints of Our Lady of the Lake University.
