What's next for Jada Richard and LSU
Jada Richard is in the first season of her collegiate career, coming out of Lafayette Christian Academy as the No. 1 player in the state of Louisiana. She led her high school to four state championships and received multiple MVP honors, understandably getting attention from college basketball powerhouse LSU.
She is currently adjusting to the college game, slowly seeing her minutes in the rotation grow. After three appearances, she is averaging 4.3 points and 2.3 assists on 71.4% shooting from the field and 60% from downtown.
Three games in, LSU has outmatched their opponents on both sides of the ball. Not only are they scoring 102.3 points per game, but they are also conceding 41.3 points per game to their opponents. While the wins are against the likes of Eastern Kentucky, Northwestern State, and Charleston Southern, the dominance is proof that LSU is on a mission to return to the NCAA Tournament and make another title run for their second in three years.
LSU will look to improve to 4-0 when they host Murray State at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Nov. 15 at 8 p.m. ET.
