Who's Playing

No. 25 LSU @ Georgia Tech

Current Records: LSU 8-0; Georgia Tech 5-3

What to Know

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will square off against the #25 LSU Tigers at 6 p.m. ET Saturday at State Farm Arena. LSU will be strutting in after a win while the Yellow Jackets will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The matchup between Georgia Tech and the North Carolina Tar Heels on Sunday was not a total blowout, but with Georgia Tech falling 79-62 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard Michael Devoe (15 points), forward Khalid Moore (13 points), and guard Dallan Coleman (13 points) were the top scorers for Georgia Tech.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the contest between LSU and the Ohio Bobcats last week was still a pretty decisive one as the Tigers wrapped it up with a 66-51 victory at home. The top scorer for LSU was forward Tari Eason (20 points).

The Yellow Jackets are expected to lose this next one by 8.5. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.

Georgia Tech's loss took them down to 5-3 while LSU's win pulled them up to 8-0. Tari Eason will be someone to keep an eye on after he had 20 points along with five steals, five rebounds, and three blocks last Wednesday. Let's see if he can build on that strong performance or if Georgia Tech's defense can bottle him up.
