Illinois State Redbirds vs LSU Tigers Point Spread Picks

The Cayman Islands Classic will open with a game between Illinois St. and LSU. The Tigers are a perfect 3-0 heading into tonight's game and have held opponents to just 59ppg in the 3 games. Illinois St. is 2-2 on the season, but one of the things this team has done is play a slowdown methodical style. The Redbirds are averaging a very low 48.3 shots per game, and that will put a lot of pressure to get this team over the total. Illinois St is also defending well allowing 4 opponents to shoot a combined 41%. This is also a venue that is new to both teams and it is hard at the beginning of games to get used to the shooting background. I like the under in this one.
