No. 2 Kansas romps over LSU in Maui Invitational
Tuesday, Nov. 26, 1996 | 11:59 a.m.
It didn't matter if the game was played in Hawaii, Halifax or Hong Kong. LSU coach Dale Brown knew his team had no chance against No. 2 Kansas.
The Jayhawks scored the game's first 18 points Monday night and rolled to an 82-53 victory over the Tigers in the first round of the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Hawaii.
"It was a mature, bigger, stronger team that whomped us," Brown said. "It was not a surprise. We knew it would be a learning experience. This is just a good team. We cannot beat them tomorrow or next week. But we might beat them when we mature."
Jerod Haase scored 6 points, Paul Pierce 5 and Scot Pollard 4 in the opening 18-0 spurt as the Jayhawks (2-0) opened an early 25-5 lead.
Kansas controlled both ends of the floor in the first half, especially the defensive end. The Jayhawks' swarming man-to-man defense limited LSU to 9-of-35 shooting from the field in the first 20 minutes, allowing Kansas to open a 45-22 lead at the break.
