LSU vs Iowa State Prediction | March Madness Picks and Bracketology
This is an interesting matchup that could turn sloppy. LSU has a strong defense and is the top team in the nation in forcing steals. However, they have a problem with turning the ball over. On the other side, Iowa State is super inconsistent, but they also generate turnovers well.
Of course, LSU will be playing under a new head coach in the NCAA Tournament, with Will Wade getting fired. This feels like one of those situations that bring a team together. I’ll go with them to win the game, but it could be a one-possession game.
For the best bet, we’ll side with the betting trends and take the over. Both schools have consistently had point totals go over.
