Randy’s Pick

The Syracuse Orange are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but they looked awful against Gonzaga and Tennessee. Syracuse couldn’t find a lick of offense in either game. The LSU Tigers already have a win over an ACC team in Wake Forest, and they’re skilled at both ends of the floor. LSU is top-50 in defensive field goal percentage allowed, and they’re an above average offensive team. You could argue the wrong team is favored here. Give me LSU and the free bucket.
