Mississippi State Bulldogs vs LSU Tigers Picks

Bridgestone Arena

<p>After dropping their final four regular season games, Mississippi State has little margin for error entering their SEC Tournament matchup with LSU. If the ninth-seeded Bulldogs defeat the eighth-seeded Tigers, they will likely lock up a second straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. If they lose, they will face an anxious wait for Selection Sunday.</p>
<p>The Bulldogs (19-12, 8-10 SEC) moved into a solid position in the March Madness field with a five-game win streak in February. But a heartbreaking home loss to Kentucky started a season-ending losing skid, which also featured losses at Auburn and Texas A&amp;M and a tough overtime loss to South Carolina at home.</p>
<p>With non-conference wins over Washington State and Northwestern and conference wins over Tennessee and Auburn, the Bulldogs have a strong case to make the field of 68. And as of Wednesday’s bracketology updates at ESPN and CBS Sports, they were still in a position of security.</p>
<p>But if MSU can’t defeat LSU (17-14, 9-9 SEC) for a second time this season, the best-case scenario might be a second straight trip to Dayton, Ohio for the First Four.</p>

<h2>Mississippi State vs LSU Betting Analysis and Prediction</h2>
<p>When the Bulldogs and Tigers met in Baton Rouge on February 24, Mississippi State rolled to an 87-67 win behind 32 points by Josh Hubbard.</p>
<p>To date, it is their most recent win. LSU, meanwhile, wrapped up the regular season with three wins in their last four games, with the lone blemish coming at Arkansas last week.</p>
<p>The numbers do not favor a fourth win in five games for the Tigers. For the season, they are 3-12 SU and 5-10 ATS as an underdog, and they are 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS when an underdog by five or fewer points.</p>
<p>Mississippi State, meanwhile, is 4-3 SU and ATS when favored by five or fewer points. However, in four instances in SEC play, their win over LSU is their lone SU &amp; ATS victory in that spot.</p>
<p>If the spread widens, the numbers are better. The Bulldogs are 6-2 SU and ATS when favored by 5.5 to 10 points, with last Saturday’s OT loss to South Carolina and a November 28 loss at Georgia Tech accounting for the two defeats.</p>
<p>Beyond the betting numbers, the Bulldogs are the better team despite being the lower seed and should get the job done to set up a quarterfinal matchup with #1 seed Tennessee.</p>
<p>Their defensive prowess, which was the biggest reason that they were a tournament team last season, has dropped off. But with Hubbard (16.8 PPG), who has scored 23+ points in five consecutive games, MSU is one of 34 teams that rank in the top 60 at KenPom in both adjusted offensive efficiency (55<sup>th</sup>) and adjusted defensive efficiency (24<sup>th</sup>).</p>

<h2>Mississippi State vs LSU Best Bets</h2>
<h3>Josh Hubbard over 3.5 made threes (+100 at Bovada) &amp; over 20.5 points (-115 at Bovada)</h3>
<p>When the Bulldogs won in Baton Rouge last month, Hubbard was 9 of 17 from the field, including 6 of 12 from three.</p>
<p>That was the first of five straight games in which he has at least four made threes and 23+ points.</p>
<p>Given his recent run and his likely volume, both plays above are appealing. He averaged 15.2 field goal attempts and 9.7 three-point attempts in SEC play, but over the last five games, he has averaged 19.4 field goal attempts and 13 three-point attempts per game.</p>
<p>Also, while he is not a prolific free-throw shooter (3.9 attempts per game for the season), he has attempted at least six foul shots in four of his last five games and is shooting 84.2% from the stripe for the season. In the previous meeting with LSU, he made all eight of his free throws.</p>
