LSU vs Gonzaga College Basketball Preview
LSU Basketball
The LSU Tigers enter Saturday with a perfect 3-0 straight up and ATS record while enduring the 26th-easiest schedule in the country, per Haslametrics. All three of their early-season non-conference opponents rank among the bottom 125 teams nationally.
The return of Will Wade will be an interesting one. With several players already ineligible, will the roster Wade has available be enough to keep this team competitive?
So far this season, the Tigers are led in scoring by 7-foot freshman Michael Ruzic. Donovan Dent has been all over the floor, averaging 13.7 points and 8.3 assists per game. Dent leads the team in assists, blocks and steals per game.
As LSU heads to Spokane for its first true test of the season, will these two be able to rise to the occasion?
Gonzaga Basketball
With a week to prepare for their matchup against LSU, the Gonzaga Bulldogs enter the weekend refreshed after a 41-point win over New Mexico State.
Before that, they earned a six-point win over Purdue on opening night.
It's tough to gauge just how good that win over the Boilermakers really is, considering Purdue followed it up with a double-overtime home loss to Valparaiso.
However, much like the reason I liked Gonzaga on opening night, Mark Few always does a tremendous job of having his boys ready for early-season marquee games.
Early on, Davis Fogle, sadly no relation to McLovin, has been a huge contributor, scoring 22 points in back-to-back games. On top of that, he's averaging 4.5 rebounds and dishing out four assists per game.
Senior guard Xaivian Lee has also been an assist machine, dishing out 10 assists against New Mexico State while scoring six points in the massive win.
If these guys are gelling, this team should be just fine heading into LSU with a week of rest.
LSU vs Gonzaga Pick, Betting Analysis
Technically, this is a neutral-site game, but Gonzaga is just a six-minute drive from Spokane Arena. This is a home game, especially when the opposing team is coming from the other side of the country.
With this being LSU's first true road test against competent competition, I fully expect the Tigers to struggle. The Bulldogs are still waking up in their own beds, aren't changing their routine at all and will have their die-hard fans backing them just a few miles off campus.
Gonzaga should also be able to exploit a few issues LSU has shown against much weaker competition, namely its tendency to foul at a high rate and struggles shooting from beyond the arc.
Those are two areas where Few's boys excel, getting to the free-throw line and defending the perimeter.
I'm not a trends guy, but I've mentioned Few's ability to get his squad ready for early-season marquee games. Excluding this season, Few is 22-16 ATS in November since the 2020-21 season, including an astounding 12-4 mark over the last two years.
Pick: Gonzaga -6.5
