Kansas City Roos at LSU Tigers
· NCAA Men's Basketball
McMahon gets 74-63 win in his LSU coaching debut
Justice Hill added 13 points and seven assists for the Tigers.
McMahon came over from Murray State, bringing players Hill, Williams, and Trae Hannibal with him, and lured back Miller, Mwani Wilkinson and Justice Williams — who had entered the transfer portal — as he rebuilt a roster that at one point after he was hired had no scholarship players.
New Kansas City coach Marvin Menzies is still looking for his first win with the Roos (0-2) after they lost to Division II Lincoln (Mo.) in their opener.
Senior guard Shemarri Allen scored 19 points and UIC transfer RayQuawndis Mitchell added 15 points to lead Kansas City, which has three transfers and 11 incoming freshmen on its roster. The Roos were 4 of 25 from the arc.
Wilkinson hit a 3-pointer to open the game and LSU led the rest of the way, though didn't have a double-digit lead until early in the second half after a Miller 3-pointer. A 7-0 spurt got the Roos back within nine midway through the half and they were within five with 5 1/2 minutes to go. But Derek Fountain made a pair of free throws and added a dunk and Hill added two more free throws and a bucket to secure the win.
