The LSU Tigers are arguably the best team in the SEC as they bring a perfect 6-0 record into this matchup, but it hasn’t been easy as their last 6 games have been decided by 4 points or less. Alabama is playing some of its best basketball as of recent as they have won 4 consecutive games, and they are currently the top-scoring team in the SEC as they are averaging 83.8 PPG. The Crimson Tide live and die by the three as they rank 1st in the conference in three-pointers, and they have an abundance of guys who can make a difference as 4 different guys are averaging at least 10 PPG. Alabama has struggled on the defensive side of the court this season as they are allowing SEC opponents to score an average of 74.8 PPG, and that will ultimately help the Tigers win this game, but it won’t be easy as Alabama can score as well. Final Score Prediction, LSU Tigers win but fail to cover ATS 80-77.
