The No. 5-ranked LSU Tigers will take on the Southeastern Louisiana Lions on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in an early-season matchup. Both teams have played one game, each of them winning their season opener. However, one team will be handed its first loss of the season on Thursday night. Here is everything you need to know about the matchup.
LSU vs. SLU Prediction
SLU did a good job to start the season, winning a dominant 105-49 game over Centenary LA. However, it will be a big jump in competition for the Lions on Thursday when they take on a national championship contender in the LSU Tigers.
The Tigers easily won their first game of the season on Monday, defeating HCU 108-55. While both teams had dominant first games of the season, we expect SLU to struggle in this matchup. LSU is one of the best teams in the nation, and should not have any trouble putting together another dominant showing on Thursday night. LSU simply has too much star power, including Lfau’Jae Johnson.

LSU vs. SLU Injury Report
It is still early in the season, and as a result, neither LSU nor Southeastern Louisiana is dealing with any injuries. Both teams remained healthy in their first games of the season. As a result, fans will be watching to see if LSU can continue its dominant performance.
It would be a shock if this game results in anything but a dominant LSU victory. The Tigers have plenty of star power and are expected to compete with the top teams in the nation. Having dominant performances against lesser opponents early in the season will help the team establish itself as an early contender.
