LSU went 28-7 last season including a 16-2 record in the SEC and they managed to make a run into the Sweet 16 before eventually getting crushed by Michigan St. They are off to a 7-2 start including a 6-0 record at home but that includes so quality wins. East Tennessee St. played Kansas tough and could have won.
They bring back all five starters and East Tennessee St. has two of the best players in the Southern Conference in Jeromy Rodriguez and Bo Hodges, the former being tabbed as the preseason Player of the Year. Just too many points here and I like the double digit dog to keep it close.
