I think that the only way LSU is gonna win is if they win the inside. Reddick is gonna play well no matter what. But if LSU can frustrate Williams and get him to three fouls early, then they have a shot. Williams is been good lately at being patient and taking good shots. He is the key.

I picked LSU to win but am feeling less confident about it after their two performances on Saturday. I still think LSU has the superior athleticism and can definitely break down Duke's defense. I am not certain Duke beats George Washington without Sheldon Williams and he will undoubtedly be marginalized with LSU's post game. The X factor in determining the outcome of this game will be LSU's perimeter defense. If they can limit the number of open looks Duke gets from the outside, their odds are definitely improved. Easier said than done though.
