The No. 9 LSU Tigers (28-4, 12-4) will face the No. 1 Texas Longhorns (30-2, 15-1) in the SEC Tournament semifinals. Tipoff for this battle between two top-ten teams is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC, with coverage via ESPN2.
LSU earned its spot in the semifinals by taking down Florida in the quarterfinals round 101-87 in a game they controlled from beginning to end. They took a 53-34 lead into the break and never looked back. Ra Shaya Kyle turned in a double-double (10 points, 11 rebounds), and six LSU players recorded double-digit points on the night. Texas had a more challenging game in the quarterfinals vs. Ole Miss. The Longhorns took a 13-point lead into the fourth quarter and held on to win by seven. Ole Miss got within a basket but was not able to pull ahead.

Our Texas Longhorns vs LSU Tigers Prediction
LSU is good enough on the offensive end of the court to be competitive with Texas. But they are lacking on the defensive end. While they may keep the game competitive in the first half, Texas will eventually take the game over on both ends of the court and pull away.
Our LSU vs. Texas Pick: Texas -7.5
