LSU Tigers prospects
LSU is always an entertaining team to watch, if nothing else. They’re electric on offense, and it’s very rare to see a college team with three different guys averaging at least 16 points per game. That being said, it’s hard to make a serious run in March when you rank 125th nationally in defensive efficiency according to Kenpom. Thomas is a superstar in the making, but their top two scorers are both underclassmen, which also isn’t a great recipe for March Madness. They’re one of the wild cards of the tournament, and there’s a lot of variance here. A tough game against St. Bonaventure awaits them in the first round for the right to take on Michigan in the Round of 32.
