Miami vs LSU Prediction & Pick
It's hard to doubt LSU when it's lost just two games all season. The Tigers get the job done with an elite defense that only allows 57.2 PPG (T-No. 26) on 35.5% shooting. Although Miami's defense is strong too, allowing 64.5 PPG over the last three contests, LSU has surrendered just 51.7 PPG over that stretch.
LSU also has the offensive advantage, scoring the fifth-most points in the country (82.8 PPG) while Miami scores nearly 13 fewer points on average (70.4 PPG, No. 78). Considering how the Hurricanes have been held to 70 or fewer points in three tournament games thus far, I like the Tigers' odds of moving on to the Final Four.
Final Score Prediction:'LSU: 74 | Miami: 68
Miami vs LSU Best Bet
Even though I expect LSU to win, I don't see the 9.5-point spread being covered. Miami's defense is good enough to prevent things from getting out of hand. The Hurricanes have already defeated three higher seeds to get to this point and are used to dealing with adversity as well. The Tigers will still win; it just won't be a landslide like the odds project.
