What to Know

The #19 LSU Tigers' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs at 7 p.m. ET Dec. 18 at Brookshire Grocery Arena. The Tigers are out to keep their seven-game home win streak alive.

LSU took their contest at home on Tuesday with ease, bagging an 89-49 victory over the NW State Demons. LSU's success was spearheaded by the efforts of guard Xavier Pinson, who had 15 points, and forward Tari Eason, who had 18 points along with five rebounds.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the matchup between Louisiana Tech and the LSU-Shreveport Pilots on Tuesday was still a pretty decisive one as Louisiana Tech wrapped it up with an 84-70 win at home.

LSU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

The Tigers are now a perfect 10-0 while the Bulldogs sit at 8-2. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: LSU enters the game with only 53.2 points allowed per game on average, which is the best in college basketball. But Louisiana Tech ranks 29th in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 81.2 on average. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
