LSU vs Stetson Prediction
I’m on LSU here. LSU took one on the chin against SMU, but I think SMU isn’t a bad loss necessarily. Stetson is not a good basketball team, and we’ve seen the Hatters get crushed in a lot of their step-up spots throughout the year. All in all, I think LSU is the better team by a mile and will take care of business with ease here. Give me the Tigers.
