The LSU Tigers will look to right the ship after dropping six of their last seven when they visit the Texas Longhorns tonight.
The Longhorns have been dominant during their four-game winning streak, and my LSU vs. Texas predictions expect that trend to continue.
Let’s take a look at how these SEC rivals match up in my free college basketball picks for Tuesday, February 17.
LSU vs Texas prediction
LSU vs Texas best bet: Texas -11.5 (-110)
Texas is taking it to its SEC opposition, winning four of its last six games by double digits. That’s been good news for backers of the Longhorns, as they’ve covered in six of their last seven games.
LSU has been poor defensively, allowing 75.3 ppg this year. That’s going to be a serious issue against a Texas team that ranks sixth in offensive rating according to KenPom, with the Longhorns averaging 81.8 ppg over their last 10.
The Tigers don’t have the firepower to keep up with that scoring, which is why I’m taking Texas to cover.

LSU vs Texas same-game parlay
Texas has an elite offense that should be able to push this game to the Over against LSU, with the Longhorns having hit the Over in four of their last five games.
I also like Texas guard Dailyn Swain to hit his personal scoring Over after seeing him go for 20+ points in five of his last seven outings.
