NW State @ No. 19 LSU

Current Records: NW State 2-8; LSU 9-0

What to Know

The #19 LSU Tigers will look to defend their home court Tuesday against the NW State Demons at 7 p.m. ET. The Tigers are out to keep their six-game home win streak alive.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between LSU and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as LSU wrapped it up with a 69-53 win. LSU's forward Tari Eason did his thing and had 23 points along with six rebounds.

Meanwhile, NW State made easy work of the Dallas Christian Crusaders this past Saturday and carried off an 89-67 victory.

LSU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 31.5-point (!) margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (8-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The Tigers are now a perfect 9-0 while the Demons sit at 2-8. A couple defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: LSU ranks first in college basketball when it comes to points allowed per game, with only 53.7 on average. Less enviably, NW State has allowed their opponents to shoot 49.70% from the floor on average, which is the 353rd highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against NW State.
