The LSU Tigers are off to a fantastic 8-1 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season, seventh in the Southeastern Conference, and on a three-game winning streak. They are coming off a win in their last outing against the Wake Forest Demon Daecons (72-70) which was a tight affair.
The Tigers will now take on the North Carolina Central Eagles, who are 5-5 at the start of the season, second in the Mid-Eastern Conference, and face a defeat against the Marquette Golden Eagles (90-78). The game will be held at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Tuesday (December 13), the home of the Tigers, where they will look for their ninth win of the season.

LSU Tigers vs NC Central Eagles: Prediction
The two teams have only met once before in the league and that was in 2016. LSU came out as the winners in a close-fight game that finished 70-66. However, the current situation is very different as the Tigers are a lot better compared to the Eagles. The home team is 5-1 against the spread after coming off a win.
They are also 5-1-1 against the spread in their last seven games played on a Tuesday. Their solid defense and the fact that they are playing at home gives them an undue advantage.
Final Prediction: Tigers -13.5 (-110)
