Surprised it's that high given Auburn's play today and LSU's tendency to play down to the opponent's level. But that much respect from Vegas is a good sign. Auburn may be worn out. If LSU jumps to an early lead, it could take their will.

That's a lot of respect for us. I think we should win but mainly due to playing 3 games in 3 days for Auburn is bound to have some kind of effect

If we make them play uptempo, they should be done by halftime. They won't have enough left in the tank for more than a run or two.

Auburn played like shite. They shot like 34%. A&M can't score without House, combine that with that fact that Caruso had 10 turnovers, and they had no shot

I was thinking the same.

I don't think that's going to be a factor. These kids today grow up playing in these AAU environment where they might play 5 games in a weekend. It's only us here on the Rant who are hung up on the tired stuff.

In fact it worries me more that they have 2 games under their belt in the gym and have more game readiness and we are coming in after having not played in 5 days.

And every coach in the world. To totally dismiss fatigue is one of the silliest things I have seen on this board. 3 games in 3 days is tough no matter what.

Should be around 2:30. Kentucky/Florida is at noon, and we start 30 minutes after that one finishes.

There's a difference between AAU and the sec tourney. You think Cinmeon (however you spell that stupid name) Bowers won't be fatigued at all?

It's important in games like these to come out aggressive. You want to make the other team fight for 40 minutes.

I don't know about that line. I hope they are tired, and LSU blows them out, so they can rest, but I think AU has a better shot with their Bigs down low. They have been very aggressive lately, and could put LSU's bigs in foul trouble, which would allow them to have their way. I like how we played AR, and the movement of the ball, and having the guards hit some 3 balls(which will be the key). LSU plays to level of their opponent, so be very careful betting on this one...hope I'm wrong, and LSU comes in blazing...

LSU should be very motivated to play. ESPN RPI rankings are still updating and LSU has moved up to 47 in RPI and to 40 BPI. They can't afford another loss to a poorly ranked team. I didn't even see Auburn in top 150. So it appears that if they win today they become much more of a lock than a bubble. So there should be a lot to play for here today.

LSU will wipe the fricking floor today and win by 15. This team plays well when the stakes are higher. I think we beat Kentucky as well tomorrow. It's fricking happening so y'all better jump on the LSU PAIN TRAIN, SONS!!!

Our fast paced game will be a bad match for a team coming off of two games in two days. I really think we cover the spread and then some today.

Everyone said that in the first game and Auburn pressed US basically all game and pressed the tempo. Bruce Pearl isn't afraid to run his guys. I doubt we beat them because they are tired. We'll beat them if we came to play.
