Kenneth Lofton - Effective in exhibition Lofton started and had 13 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-6 FT), nine rebounds and three steals across 21 minutes in a Nov. 4 exhibition against Mississippi Col. Impact Lofton took on a major role down the stretch last season for the Bulldogs, starting the final 28 games and putting up a career-best 27 points in the NIT consolation victory. It seems he'll hang on to that starting role if the exhibition is any indication, plus the offense may run through him as the only LA Tech starter in double figures for the tune-up contest. He was joined in the starting five by Amorie Archibald, Isaiah Crawford, Cobe Williams and Exavian Christon. Still, Lofton and the Bulldogs have a challenging season opener ahead, as the Crimson Tide, while generally up-tempo, had one of the toughest defenses in the country a season ago.
