Oh so close to a double-double. Bone had an aggressive mindset during the LSU game taking eight shot from the field and two from the three-point line.

Bone’s 62.5 percent shooting percentage from the field and 50 percent from the three-point line was good enough for 12 points.

Bone had another eight assists performance against the Tigers.

There was a lot of hype about freshman Tremont Waters, and taking nothing away from the kid, he is a good player, but Bone shut him down. Waters finished the game 1-of-9 from the field with only seven points, three personal fouls, and two turnovers.

Bone set the tone for the game and held Waters in check. When Bone plays aggressive, it clearly shows with how well the team plays.

If he can continue to get better, there is no reason he can’t average ten points and ten assists a game. He has the talent around him; he simply has to play his game.
