Red hot handicapper Matt Rivers say to take LSU minus the points hosting Indiana State. LSU is -11 at BetUs. Here is why sayeth one of the best basketball handicappers:
 
College hoops is here and I am ready to attack with a vengeance. In a very small play here I’ll back the home Tigers of LSU.
 
Trent Johnson did a magnificent job last season in his first year with the program and now has another tall task as a lot of guys moved on. But with Bo Spencer and Tasmin Mitchell along with some younger talent I can’t help but believe this price is too cheap at home against Indiana State.
 
Larry Bird is long gone and I’m not so sure that Iowa transfer Jake Kelly is going to be all that and especially when up against big-time competition which today will be. Kelly certainly was solid as a Hawkeye averaging over 11 ppg as a sophomore but Iowa was fairly awful and in the end is playing on an Indiana State team that is even worse.
 
State does not have a true rebounding big man and that more than likely will not work out very well against far superior athletes, such as Mitchell, who can run and jump better than most teams they will see all season long.
 
The Tigers just outclassed Louisiana Monroe by 20 in the opener behind 20 points from Spencer and in the end tonight I can see a similar result.
