LSU vs. Butler

The Old Spice Classic wraps up in Florida, and LSU (4-2) has a dynamite offense averaging 83.2 points per game (43rd in the nation). They've won four of the last five, the only loss yesterday to No. 21 Memphis by seven points. LSU has a power inside game behind 6-9 junior wide-body Johnny O'Bryant (16 points per game, 10.5 rebounds per game), and 6-8 freshman Jordan Mickey (13.8 points per game, 9.2 rebounds per game). The team shot 56.6% against Memphis yesterday, and won the battle of the boards by a whopping 38-25. The Tigers are 10-2 ATS at neutral site games, 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a winning record.  They face a Butler (5-1) squad that does not have a big frontcourt, one off a loss to Oklahoma State yesterday allowing 50% shooting. Butler had a furious comeback from down 14 at the half to lose by two, but their starters logged a lot of minutes. The Bulldogs are 2-5-2 ATS following an ATS win. Play LSU.
