✅ San Diego State to cover the spread: +26.5 ⭐⭐
This spread is as low as 25.5 at FanDuel, but the rest of our best sportsbooks are still trading this line at 26.5. I’m backing the Aztecs following their triple overtime win over Wyoming in the Mountain West Conference title game, which marked their eighth victory in a row.
This is more of a fade of the Tigers at such a big number. LSU’s best player, Flau’jae Johnson, is back in the lineup after missing the regular-season finale and the SEC tournament due to shin inflammation, and LSU - who are among the women's March Madness odds contenders - has lost three of its last four games.
The Tigers should still win by a comfortable margin, but I’m not interested in laying the points with them in this one.
📊 Best odds: -110 via BetMGM ($10 to win $9.09)

🔥 Aneesah Morrow to score 20-plus points ⭐⭐⭐
There are two reasons why I like LSU forward Morrow to have a big day:
- San Diego State is undersized
- Flau’jae Johnson hasn’t played since Feb. 27
Morrow has averaged 18.5 points per game this season but cleared this mark in two of her past three outings. She scored 36 points against Florida last Friday and says her conditioning is back after recovering from a foot injury in recent weeks.
The Tigers should lean on Morrow against SDSU.
📊 Best odds: -150 via FanDuel ($10 to win $6.67)

🎯 Score prediction: LSU 83, San Diego State 62
The 26.5-point betting spread feels a touch high based on LSU’s recent form and its best player returning from injury. But don’t get it twisted; the Tigers should still win comfortably.
