LSU vs TCU Game Preview
Why LSU Will Win
TCU might not score.
The Horned Frogs are all about their style. Deliberate, play tough D, rebound everything, repeat. That’s been fine right up until the offense can’t keep up – like in the blowout loss to Texas a few nights ago – and when the other team pumps in a few threes.
This has to stay in the 50s for TCU, but LSU is more than happy to oblige – to a point.
The Tigers got off their three-game losing streak with a win over Texas A&M, but the defense hasn’t stopped being great. It continues to lead the nation in steals and field goal percentage D, and TCU turns the ball over a whole bunch and can’t shoot a lick from the outside.

Why TCU Will Win
LSU is a perfect team for TCU.
This isn’t a high-powered Tiger team, it turns the ball over way too much, and it has not problem hacking everything that moves.

What’s Going To Happen
Here’s TCU’s problem. LSU loses because it puts teams on the free throw line over and over and over again. TCU doesn’t get to the line enough, and it doesn’t take advantage of the chances when it does.
However, it should own the offensive boards and hang on for dear life late in what should be a tight, tense game over the last five minutes.
