LSU at South Carolina

The LSU Tigers' path to the big dance is taking on water. The Tigers are just 13-8 on the season. The Tigers are averaging over 80 points per game this season, but the defense is allowing 77 points per game. The Tigers have dropped 7 of their last 8 games, as their early good start is gone. The Tigers' defense has been a big part of the problem. In their last eight games, which are 1-7, they have allowed all eight teams to score 70 or more points. South Carolina is also not defending well, as the Gamecocks have allowed each of their last six opponents to score at least 70. I'll play the OVER in this one.
