The Crimson Tide are shooting 27.2 percent from deep in SEC play, a far cry from last season's 37.8 percent mark. But they've still got great shooters like Jaden Shackelford and Jahvon Quinerly. With LSU's Xavier Pinson a gametime decision, and with Alabama in a desperate home spot following three straight losses, I'll back the favorite.

LSU has only played two road games so far this season. The first was a loss to Auburn, and the second a win over Florida. While Alabama has lost three straight coming into tonight, I still like them at home against a Tigers team that doesn't play as well on the road. Plus, Alabama's advantage on the offensive glass in this matchup could come up huge.
