LSU vs. UCLA Picks & Predictions
LSU is doing what every team wants to do at this time of year - play their best basketball. Their offense has exploded for 100+ points in two games while scoring 80 against a very good NC State team in the other. But none of those teams can compare to UCLA. The Tigers have a top-five offense, but don't play solid defense (No. 203 in the nation). They might be able to keep it close up to the break.
However, UCLA will make the right adjustments and pull away in the second half.
Pick: UCLA -4.5 (-114)
LSU vs. UCLA Player Props
I'm a little surprised this market has plus-money odds. Lauren Betts has been on fire, scoring 30+ points in her last two games, and the Tigers aren't known for their defense. With the chance to lead her team somewhere it has never been, she'll have a big game.
Aneesah Morrow leads the nation in rebounding with 13.7 per game this season. In tournament play, she's had performances of 12, 11 and 19 rebounds. Both teams rebound the ball very well, but I'm going to go with the best in the nation having a solid day.
