Betting Trends for vs
The LSU Tigers are an extremely talented team, and they return a couple of key pieces from last year’s team which will help them be a contender in the SEC and return to the NCAA Tournament. The LSU Tigers have one of the better backcourts in college basketball with Ja’vonte Smart and Skylar Mays. VCU is one of the better defensive teams in the country, but they lack scoring which won’t bode well against a team who is more talented and put up 88 points in their first game. VCU will need to control their turnover problems if they want a shot at winning, but the depth of LSU will wear down the Rams. Final Score Prediction, LSU Tigers win and cover ATS 76-67.
