"That was an example of dominating," LSUA Head Coach Dimario Jackson said. "That's what we talked to our guys about doing. Was it perfect? No. Did we do everything right? No. But we competed like we've been asking these guys to for40 minutes. That's been the last two games which means we are trending in the right direction."
 
EJ McQuillan poured in a team-high 23 points. He shot 8-for-15 from the floor, including a 5-for-9 mark behind the arc. Kashie Natt recorded 14 points. Jakemin Abney added 12, while both Isaiah Howard and Jordan Decuir tallied 10 points. Brayden Thompson led the Generals (24-1, 21-1 RRAC) in rebounds with 12. LSUA scored 38 points in the paint, 29 points off turnovers, 17 second chance points, and the bench recorded 43 points.

Just over three minutes into the game, back-to-back buckets from Natt, and a jumper from Abney, gave the Generals their first double-digit lead, 14-3.
 
Leading 23-15, LSUA went on an 18-0 run in a little over three minutes for a 39-14 advantage. The Generals' lead reached 29 points with 1:39 left in the first half on a three from Abney.
