To say the seventh-ranked LSU Tigers dominated at home against the North Carolina Central Eagles would be a significant understatement. The Tigers secured a 131-44 win on the back of guard FLau'Jae Johnson scoring 22 points on Sunday.

North Carolina Central (0-10) is still in search of its first win of the season, and to see this game be a struggle did not come as much of a surprise. However, being held scoreless for an entire quarter, outscored 37-0 in the second, was unforeseen. Meanwhile, LSU (9-0) looks like a serious contender to win the NCAA Tournament early on.

Vincent's education has helped him approach sports writing from the understanding of what it takes to run a program/team and the business side of it. He has interviewed dozens of players, coaches and analysts and believes he asks the questions readers are interested in.

Vincent doesn’t have a favorite team or player, as he tries to remain unbiased. However, he considers John Wooden the greatest coach of all time and the 1990 “Fifth Down Game” between Colorado and Missouri the most iconic College Sports moment.
For Vincent, College Sports is on par with the pro leagues as it is a professional pipeline with media rights deals and a free agency of sorts. He plays video games and hangs out with friends and family when he’s away from his keyboard.
