The LSU Duke line is currently at 6 but has moved down from 7 and will probably hold as the sharp money has offset the wave of public money on Duke. Every media source out there has Duke winning this game, because of great coaching and experience. When you strip away the hype and history and look at the matchup, LSU looks very good in this game, remember the LSU players are playing for much much more in this game. Duke is expected to win and LSU is expected to lose! LSU has the talent and if they can stay out of foul trouble can win this game. The 2 keys to the game for LSU are stay out of foul trouble and stay out of foul trouble. LSU's lack of respect and obscurity in this game make them a venerable bargain at plus 6. Look at the SEC, FLA and LSU have made it deep in the tourney and South Carolina continues to push the envelope in the NIT. I also really like FLA-3 against Georgetown. Fla has more athletes and will push the tempo. I am just not sold on this Princeton Offense, all it does is slow the game down in the half court. FLA should be able to force some turnovers and Joakim will have a nice game as G-town has no answer for him. FLA averaged nearly 80 pts per game during the reg season and will push the tempo. I also like Bradley because 81% of the money is on MEMPHIS and MEMPHIS plays lots and lots of Frosh. Finally Texas because 68% of the public is on West VA and remember if you live by the 3 you die by the 3. I will be sad to see the best name ever in college b-ball leave- PITTSNOGLE! Go Get Em!

I think you are wrong that every media outlet is picking Duke. Actually the trendy pick amongst the media "experts" is to take LSU. In fact, I would say about 75% of the articles I have read pick LSU. Then again, what these guys have to say is worthless. If they pick Duke no one wants to read the article. If they pick LSU they drum up interest and look like a genius if LSU pulls off the upset. As a Duke fan, I am expecting a close game tonight and if I had to bet it I would take LSU plus the points.

Wise decision! I know we are outcoached but I think our guys just want it a little more. Even if we win I am a realist and don't see us getting by Texas.

You know what If I were to procalim the earth was round there are people on this site that would argue with me. Every expert on ESPN all week picked Duke, Cold Pizza, PTI, everyone was on Duke, and you know what I told you LSU would win. The blue blood pedigree has been shattered. Go ahead and try to deny us this moment of glory! And by the way the earth is frieken round!

The whole world was on LSU. My book the line went to 4.5 right before tip. A huge number of folks on this site, including me, posted LSU. An LSU fan picking their own team and trying to claim they were the only one is far off base

please assess what you type prior to submitting as alot of what you speak makes you look stupid. Just because ESPN swings from the nut sack of Duke, doesnt mean everyone and their mother is on them. You need to know a few librarians across the country and know what they are taking (larger ones) before you can make a call like that. Last night one of the largest on the east coast was split 58/42, no way that was over-loaded by Duke bettors.

I did not see the huge swing in money just prior to tip off I was too busy dring Crown and Cokes. I did watch my share of Sports Shows and did not see 1 person not 1 pick LSU over Duke, There were several people on Madjacks that did like Wise and Wiser and that is why I bet off this site and not off the morons on ESPN. There is 500 times more knowledge on this site than on T.V. but I am just shocked at the lack of national respect for LSU athletics!

Regardless, its a dead subject. Lets have some analysis of the LSU Texas Match up. I have seen Texas play only once all year in a loss to Kansas in the Big 12 Tourney but I believe they embarassed them earlier in the season. Texas fans whats the skinny on your club? I also know you shoot the 3 well and we do not. Our strength is inside and verry good interior D.
