LSU Pounds DePaul Into Submission
LSU’s most recent game was a 96–63 win over DePaul on November 29, where Pablo Tamba led a balanced attack with 14 points and seven rebounds, while Jalen Reece dished out six assists. The Tigers shot an incredible 69% from the field and had seven players score in double figures, capping off the Emerald Coast Classic with another dominant performance to move to 7–0.
This LSU team has been rolling offensively, averaging 94.3 points per game (8th nationally) while shooting 54.9% from the field (2nd). Michael Nwoko has been the steady interior presence, putting up 17.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, while Dedan Thomas Jr. orchestrates the offense with 14.4 points and 7.0 assists per game. Max Mackinnon and Marquel Sutton add balance, combining for over 25 points per game, and Sutton’s rebounding (8.4 per game) has been critical to LSU’s dominance on the glass. The Tigers also get to the free‑throw line at a high rate, hitting 77.7% (14th nationally), which makes them tough to slow down once they build momentum.
Defensively, LSU has been just as sharp, holding opponents to 68.3 points per game on 38.8% shooting. Their length across the frontcourt forces tough shots, and they rebound at an elite level (43.1 boards per game, 4th nationally). The Tigers’ ability to contest threes has been key, limiting opponents to just 30.2% from deep. Against Boston College, LSU’s depth and efficiency should be the difference — they can throw multiple scorers at the Eagles while maintaining defensive pressure. With seven straight wins and a scoring margin of +26, LSU enters this matchup looking every bit like a team ready to keep its unbeaten run alive.
Eagles Take Down Harvard by 13
Boston College’s most recent game was a 73–60 win over Harvard on November 26, where Fred Payne scored 17 points, Donald Hand Jr. added 7 rebounds, and Caleb Steger came off the bench to hit three corner threes for a career‑high 9 points. The Eagles shot 44% from the field, including 40% from long range and controlled the second half to even their record at 4–4 heading into the ACC/SEC Challenge.
Offensively, Boston College averages 70.5 points per game while shooting 40.7% from the field (334th nationally) and just 27% from three (344th). Payne has been their most consistent scorer at 12.9 points per game, while Hand Jr. leads the team with 15.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. Boden Kapke provides size inside with 9.5 points and 4.4 rebounds, and Chase Forte adds nearly 9 points and 3 assists per game. The Eagles have struggled with efficiency, but they do rebound well (40.9 boards per game) and can grind out possessions when they slow the pace. Free‑throw shooting has been another issue, sitting at 67.9%, which has cost them in close contests.
Defensively, Boston College has been more reliable, holding opponents to 65.6 points per game and 39.8% shooting. Aidan Shaw has been a strong rebounder at 8.9 boards per game, and Jayden Hastings adds rim protection with nearly a block per game. The Eagles’ defense has kept them competitive even when the offense sputters, but their perimeter defense has been shaky, allowing opponents to hit 28.5% from three. Against LSU’s high‑powered attack, Boston College will need Hand Jr. and Payne to carry the scoring load while Shaw and Kapke battle on the boards. If they can slow the tempo and force LSU into half‑court sets, they’ll have a chance to keep it close, but the margin for error is slim against one of the nation’s most efficient offenses.

LSU vs Boston College Spread Pick
- Boston College +7 (4 Units)
Boston College +7 makes sense if you’re looking at how they’ve been grinding games out defensively. In their last outing, the Eagles beat Harvard 73–60, holding the Crimson to under 40% shooting while Fred Payne and Donald Hand Jr. carried the offense. BC isn’t flashy, but they rebound well (40.9 boards per game) and limit opponents to just 65.6 points per game. That kind of defensive effort can keep them within striking distance even against a high‑powered LSU squad. If Hand continues to score efficiently and Aidan Shaw controls the glass, Boston College has the tools to hang around and cover.
On the flip side, LSU has been dominant offensively, averaging over 94 points per game and shooting nearly 55% from the field, but they haven’t faced many teams that can slow tempo and force them into half‑court possessions. Boston College’s style is built for that — they’ll drag possessions out, contest shots, and try to make LSU uncomfortable. Even if the Tigers win, the Eagles’ ability to defend and rebound gives them a path to keeping this margin tight. With the spread at +7, Boston College’s defensive consistency and Tyson‑like reliance on Hand and Payne for scoring balance make them a live underdog to cover.
LSU vs Boston College Over/Under Pick
- Under 146 (5 Units)
The Under 146 looks like a solid angle because of the way these two teams play. LSU has been explosive offensively, but they also defend at a high level, holding opponents to just 68.3 points per game on 38.8% shooting. Boston College, meanwhile, averages only 70.5 points per game and has struggled with efficiency, hitting just 40.7% from the field and 27% from three. In their last outing against Harvard, the Eagles managed 73 points but leaned heavily on Fred Payne and Donald Hand Jr., while the rest of the roster was inconsistent. If LSU’s defense forces BC into long possessions and the Eagles slow tempo to keep it close, this matchup has a strong chance to stay below the 146 total.
