LSU at Alabama

The Crimson Tide had some lofty expectations coming off an NIT runner-up season, where they felt slighted not getting a bid to the Big Dance. Those expectations have been tough to keep and the Tide have dropped three of their last eight after a 7-0 start. LSU has come a long way after back-to-back lemons in the SEC. They now have some talent and experience back in the fold and come into this one not the pushover they have been at 11-4 and certainly put enough talent on the floor to stay at arms length here. The Tigers are still under the radar and come into this one with a lofty 9-1 ATS mark in their last ten vs. a winning team and once again are catching a big number that is inflated against them. Play on LSU in this one.
