Correct. The model had LSU; LSU won 100-57.

• LSU rates 42nd of 366 teams, New Orleans 249th: a top-75 team against a lower-half team.
• The edge is mostly LSU’s offense (35th nationally) against New Orleans’s defense (286th).
• Home court adds 2.7 points for LSU.
• The books have LSU by 23.5, more than the model’s gap supports, so the spread value is on New Orleans +23.5.
• Projected total 156, in line with the 159.5 over/under.
• Early-season note: about 95% of these numbers are still last season’s.
