The Texas State Bobcats have to be feeling themselves a bit after shooting over 60 percent from the field regardless of whom they played. With that said, the LSU Tigers are a completely different animal, and they were elite at both ends of the floor in their opener. LSU has the edge in most spots in this game and could cruise to another blowout victory. I’ll lay the chalk.
