Arizona State at LSU

ASU and LSU square off in the consolation game in the NIT Season Tip-Off in New York. The Sun Devils disposed of four weak opponents to open the season and then ran into Duke last game, falling by 11 points and scoring only 53 points. LSU had a similar experience. They opened with three straight double-digit victories and then had to face UCONN. The Tigers scored just 55 in a 26-point defeat. This line is an overreaction to the bad games put forth by both clubs last game. LSU shot 36.5% from the field and that won't happen again here. Arizona shot 38% - same comment. Neither of these teams has the defense of Duke or Connecticut. These are both solid teams with good offenses and I like this one to go OVER the total.
