TAKEAWAYS


- This offensive line played mad in this game. They played whistle to whistle, and that was refreshing to see.

- Josh Williams stepped up when his team needed him. Many of Josh's plays will be lost in time, but this was a perfect game for all Tiger fans to remember for Josh.

- This Tiger defense shut down Diego Pavia on the ground. This was impressive to see this turn around.


AWARDS

- Offensive MVP - Josh Williams - #18 had 151 total yards and 2 TDs. You have to feel good for Josh.

- Defensive MVP - Let's go with 3 Co-MVPs - Bradyn Swinson, Sai'vion Jones, and Davhon Keys - Swinson and Jones may not have had the greatest stats, but these guys were key in holding Pavia in check. Keys is a true freshman who has been performing better and better each week.


The Tigers welcome the Oklahoma Sooners to Baton Rouge Saturday night.

Team Stats (Trail Blazers at Pelicans) Final Score: 120-143 Rebounds: 419-57 Assists: 27-36 Blocks: 7-8 Steals: 5-10 Turnovers: 15-8 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Shaedon Sharpe, 21; Trey Murphy III, 24 Rebound Leaders: Kris Murray, 9; Yves Missi, Saddiq Bey, 8 Assist Leaders: Deni Avdija, 6; Derik Queen, 7 My Player of the Game: Derik Queen Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The Pelicans have won their fourth game of the season. Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
