What to Know

The LSU Tigers will play host again and welcome the Belmont Bruins to Pete Maravich Assembly Center, where tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Monday. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

LSU simply couldn't be stopped last Thursday, as they easily beat the McNeese State Cowboys at home 85-46. Forward Tari Eason was the offensive standout of the contest for the Tigers, posting a double-double on 19 points and 14 rebounds in addition to three blocks.

Meanwhile, Belmont didn't have too much trouble with the Kennesaw State Owls on the road this past Friday as they won 97-78.

LSU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6-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 wins brought LSU up to 5-0 and Belmont to 3-1. A couple stats to keep an eye on: The Tigers rank fourth in college basketball when it comes to points allowed per game, with only 50.5 on average. But the Bruins enter the matchup with 88.3 points per game on average, good for 22nd best in college basketball. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
