LSU vs Gonzaga Prediction
LSU has one of its more talented teams in recent memory and looks great through three games. LSU is hitting shots, defending at a high level, and has covered all three of its games. The problem I have is that LSU needs to show this against a quality team before I fully get on board. We’ve seen it a lot in SEC play where LSU looks like a sneaky good team and competes but doesn’t finish the victory or cash the ticket.
Gonzaga usually isn’t a problem until March, and last time I checked, we’re still in November. There’s a long history of Gonzaga making light work of teams not ready to bang with the big boys. Spokane is far away from Louisiana. Basically, I need LSU to prove it to me. Until then, I’ll lay the points with Gonzaga.
