No. 9 St. Bonaventure vs. No. 8 LSU in East Region action. The Atlantic 10 regular-season and tournament champion Bonnies are a fine team that absolutely could win this game and ranked slightly higher than LSU on KenPom. However, the Tigers are clearly more talented; they have been inconsistent at times this year, but played very well down the stretch and pushed Alabama to the limit in the SEC title game. This one will be about pace. The Bonnies are among the best defensive teams in the country and the Tigers among the best on offense. If this game is in the 60s, the Bonnies win. Anything higher than that and LSU does. Superior talent wins out.
