The Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers meet in college basketball action from the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Tuesday night.

The Alabama Crimson Tide come into this game will look to build on a 90-59 win over Arkansas last time out. Jaden Shackelford leads the Tide in scoring with 13.6 PPG along with 4.3 RPG while John Petty Jr. is right behind with 13.5 PPG along with 5.3 RPG. Herb Jones has 12.6 PPG and a team-high 5.9 RPG and Jahvon Quinerly has 12.5 PPG with a team-high 3.5 APG to make up the group of double-digit scorers for Alabama heading into the matchup with LSU. As a team, Alabama is averaging 80.1 PPG on 42.8% shooting from the field, 34.1% from 3-point range and 69.4% from the foul line while giving up 70.1 PPG on 40.4% shooting from the field and 30.6% from 3-point range this season.

The LSU Tigers will look to add to their 10-2 mark on the year after an 85-80 win over South Carolina last time out. Cameron Thomas leads the Tigers in scoring with 22.1 PPG while Trendon Watford is 2nd in scoring and in rebounding with 7 RPG with 3.7 APG as well this season. Javonte Smart has 15.2 PPG with a team-high 4 APG and Darius Days has 13.7 PPG with a team-high 8.6 RPG this season. As a team, LSU is averaging 86.1 PPG on 49.1% shooting from the field, 36.7% from behind the arc and 76.9% from the foul line while giving up 71.3 PPG on 40.8% shooting from the field and 27.6% from 3-point range this season.

Alabama is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games while the over is 3-1-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record. LSU is 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games following a win and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games against a team with a winning road record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two teams.

LSU has the advantage of being at home for this one, but the Tigers weren’t overly convincing against South Carolina at home last time out as the Tigers had to rally for the win in the second half. Alabama has not only played well up to this point over the course of the season, but they’ve won and covered all three of their road games this season and have enough depth to cancel out LSU and make it 4 in a item here. I’ll take the free point with Alabama in this spot.

Chris Ruffolo's Free Pick: Alabama +1
