WATCH: LSU forward Darius Days is back!
LSU forward Darius Days has announced he's returning for his senior season.
Days played and started in 28 of LSU’s 29 games this past season as LSU finished third in the league, advanced to the SEC Tournament final for the first time since 1993, and won a first-round game in the NCAA Tournament in Indianapolis.
Days averaged 11.6 points a game and a team best 7.8 rebounds a game. He made 51.9 percent of his field goal attempts (123-of-237) and shot 40 percent from the arc, making 52-of-130 attempts. He was also over 70 percent from free throw range (26-of-37). Days averaged 10.8 points and 7.1 rebounds in the 17 regular season SEC games.
In his junior season, Days has had 21 games in double figures with 10 games of double figure rebounds. He had eight double doubles, which was tied for the league lead and he will enter his senior season as the league leader among active players with 16 career double doubles.
In three years, Days has played in 94 career games with 61 starts at LSU and has been on the court for 68 wins in his three seasons so far.
He was the 40th player to cross the 500-rebound mark during the season, now at 571 entering the 2021-22 season and he is certainly on pace to be the next player to cross the 1,000 career points mark as he stands at 852 through his first three years.
In three seasons, Days has shot 49.8 percent from the floor making 314-of-630 attempts with 117 made career three-pointers.
His career high came in the opener a year ago against SIUE when he scored 24 points (Nov. 26, 2020) and his best rebound game came on Jan. 8, 2020 when he pulled down 16 rebounds against Arkansas. He made five three-pointers against Vanderbilt on March 9, 2019.
