18 points in loss Smart tallied 18 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal in Saturday's loss to Saint Louis.
Impact The junior was superb from three-point range in this one, but it ultimately wasn't enough as the Tigers loss to the Billikens on Saturday. Smart has posted double figures offensively in each of the first two games to open the season while shooting 60 percent from three.

Another superb offensive outing Thomas had 25 points (10-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal in Saturday's loss to Saint Louis.

Thomas drained another 10 field-goals to lead the team, as the guard followed up his opening-night performance of 27 points with 25 Saturday. Through two games so far, the guard is shooting 51 percent overall from the floor while draining 42 percent from deep.

Waiver denied LeBlanc did not receive a waiver for immediate eligibility from the NCAA to begin the 2020-21 season, Bill Embody of 247 Sports reports.
Impact While LeBlanc won't get to take the court immediately for the 1-1 Tigers, he should be back in mid-December after the first semester of school ends at LSU. The 6-7 forward made a big impact in his freshman year at Georgetown with 9.1 points and 7.3 rebounds, but only made it six games into his sophomore after accusations of harassment and burglary accelerated his departure from the program. It seems unlikely LeBlanc would pry a starting role from Trendan Watford or Darius Day when he's eligible to do so, but he'll still provide a major boost to the frontcourt depth of the Tigers.

Out again Manning (foot) will remain sidelined for Saturday's game against Saint Louis, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Misses Thursday's game Manning (foot) didn't appear in Thursday's win over SIU Edwardsville.
Impact Manning was held out of the starting lineup Thursday, and he was reportedly in sweatpants for the game and unable to play. It's unclear whether his absence is related to the foot injury that he sustained at the end of last season or if he's dealing with a new issue. His next chance to take the court will be Saturday against Saint Louis, although it's not yet known whether he'll be ready to play.

Doesn't appear in opener LeBlanc (eligibility) didn't play in Thursday's season opener against SIU Evansville.
Impact LeBlanc transferred from Georgetown to LSU during the offseason, but he still hasn't received word regarding his eligibility for the 2020-21 campaign. The NCAA has granted more waivers than usual this season, but LeBlanc presumably won't be able to suit up for his new program until he receives a decision regarding his eligibility.
