Florida Gators vs. LSU Tigers Preview
LSU (10-16) is just playing for pride, as they are 6 games under .500 and only at 2-9 in SEC play. They can score some pride if they can somehow beat a Florida (20-5) team that has won 7 of their last 8 games including their last 4.
In their last games Florida beat Tennessee 61-60 last Saturday and LSU lost to Alabama 67-56 on Thursday night.
Neither team has been a good bet on the season with Florida at 9-12 and LSU at 9-11-1. In the last 7 games between these 2 teams the home team has covered the spread 5 times.
LSU’s one chance in this game is to rely on their defense, which ranks 89th in the nation in opponents’ points per game. They will have to play D to win, as their offense only rank 306th in the nation in points per game.
To say the Gators have a well balanced team is an understatement, as they have 2 guards, a forward, and a center averaging in double figures. They are led by the solid backcourt duo of Erving Walker (14.7 ppg), Kenny Boynton (12.9 ppg), who are the 2 leading scorers for Florida. If these guys can shoot the pill tonight, especially from the outside, the Gators will win.
For the Tigers to have any chance in this game they will need a stellar contest from their freshman backcourt duo of Ralston Turner (12.4 ppg) and Andre Stringer (11.8 ppg). These are the only 2 players for LSU that are averaging in double figures and if the Gators and their 31st ranked scoring D can contain these 2 they will easily win.
Florida is a much better team on offense and defense and the Tigers’ defense will not be able to contain all the scoring options that the Gators have. Florida will easily win this game and cover the spread.
Betting Trends
Florida is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss and LSU is 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games.
