The LSU Tigers are 5-0 at home so far, but they've lost both their games at neutral sites. They play their first true road game at West Virginia tonight, and they will be a big underdog in this spot. The Mountaineers are still undefeated, and I think they might be a little overrated due to their early success.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Battle On The Boards - The Mountaineers have dominated their opponents on the glass so far, but they should have a more difficult time against LSU. The Tigers are a big physical team, and they are averaging over 37 rebounds per game, two more than WVU.


2. Shooing Percentage - LSU is shooting 46.3% from the field so far, giving them the edge on WVU shooting just 42.1%. The Tigers also have the edge at the charity stripe, hitting better than 70% of their free throws.

3. X-Factor - The Mountaineers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.

Selection: This is a play on the LSU Tigers (10*)
