LSU basketball vs Alabama: Last-minute predictions

The LSU basketball team heads on the road this Saturday, hoping to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Texas A&M with a victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Here are three last-minute predictions for the game:

Ben Simmons delivers a dominant offensive performance

LSU freshman Ben Simmons is coming off of a rather pedestrian performance by his own standards.

The 6-foot-10, 225-pound forward recorded just 10 points on 3-of-9 shooting in a loss to Texas A&M earlier this week. In the games following the past two occasions in which Simmons attempted less than 10 shots, he went off for scoring outbursts of 36 and 28 points, respectively.
