Although Tari Eason leads LSU in scoring with15.4 points off the bench, he averages seven rebounds per game. Darius Days is also a solid player for the Tigers averaging 14 points per game. In addition, Days leads LSU in rebounding with 7.6 per game.

Jaden Shackelford leads Alabama with 16.2 points per game with 5.9 rebounds. Shackelford will need to lead the way if the Crimson Tide is to pull off the upset. Jahvon Quinerly adds 14.8 points per game for Alabama. But it will be a challenging task, especially facing an LSU team coming off a loss.
