The markets are using some stale numbers in their setting of L.S.U. Totals these days. When Ralston Turner and Storm Warren were injured, Trent Johnson was not only forced to slow the pace for his Tigers to be able to hang around, but it also meant a low level of offensive efficiency as well. But after working his way back into playing rhythm Turner has averaged 15.2 ppg over the last six outings, and Warren showed that he is back to full health after sitting out two games, and being limited in several others, by scoring 24 points vs. Vanderbilt on Saturday. The last two games were the only SEC outings all season in which Turner and Warren each played more than 30 minutes, and they sailed over the Total by a combined 60.5 points. That makes it five straight Over’s for the Tigers, and that does not change at tonight’s short offering.
While the L.S.U. offense has indeed perked up with their key scorers healthy, the defense remains hapless, dead last by a wide margin if we focus only on SEC games. In those last two they allowed 86.0 ppg on 55.1 percent shooting, and now they run into a team that can score both inside and out, with four players averaging in double figures in SEC action - Trey Tompkins (15.4 ppg), Travis Leslie (14.9), Gerald Robinson (12.4) and Jeremy price (10.1). Yet we get a break from the price point because of Georgia’s easy 64-48 win over South Carolina on Saturday, a game in which all of the air went out of the tempo by halftime, when the Bulldogs led 39-22. The second half was played at a snail’s pace, and much of it was “fingernails on chalkboad”, as the reserves from the two teams combined to shoot a hideous 4-30 from the field, including 0-9 from 3-point range. That created a misleading scoreboard that only helps to fuel the value that we have for this setting, as Georgia brings much more energy in the LHG, once that firmly seals a spot for the Bulldogs in the Big Dance.

Maryland vs. Miami
Play: Miami +1
The Maryland Terrapins let us down last Sunday night as they fell flat against North Carolina and now travel as a 'bubble' team to Miami to play a struggling Hurricanes club that has covered just two of their last eight games. This is the final home game for the Canes are a respectable 11-4 when playing as hosts while the Terps are only 4-5 on the road this season. Off of their weak loss against rival Florida State last time out Miami looks to regroup and make a push for an NIT bid.
