If LSU plays against Mizzou with the same intensity with which they played Vandy this past Saturday, then LSU will win this game big as Missouri has been a very slow starting team in the 1st half LSU has all the talent to be a top tier team, and the size to pound the ball inside against this guard heavy Mizzu sqaud. We took Virginia yesterday as they were one of the best defensive teams in the country and a UNC offense which was outside the top 150 would struggle against such a team. Combine that with UNC not taking care of the ball well in the turnover margin and on the road with that turnover percentage would likely hurt them and it did. In that similar fashion, what you have is a LSU team is a top 25 defensive team in most rankings and note that Johnny Jones team is known for their defensive prowess. This is a team that is top 30 in offensive rebounding, has great size and with Missouri relying heavily on their perimeter shot, they are likely to struggle in a raucous environment in LSU this evening. LSU is still a very under the radar team as they are not known for their basketball team. But, in the pre-season much was expected out of this team and this is no surprise to those that follow the SEC for this team to be doing well. The Tigers of Missouri have also struggled coming off big wins as they are 0-5 ATS when they come off a win of 20 points or more, 2-10 ATS when they face teams with winning percentages of greater than 60% and I look for LSU to go up by double digits in the 1st half and cruise for the ATS win for us.
