I mean honestly, if you take away those 2 horrid losses LSU has a Top 4-5 seed resume

16-3

2-0 vs Top 25 (1 road win)
4-2 vs Top 50 (2 wins on road)
6-3 vs Top 100 (4 wins on road)
Probably a 15-20 RPI

But man, two 150+ losses are just killer

Piggi you know the February tank job is coming it is an annual event since 1995.


probably but shut your mouth anyway. i've been pretty skeptical this season but somehow we keep being ranked or almost ranked and then we're always 'in' according to these brackets. we do have several road games left so that makes me nervous but oh well, we'll see. i've learned to not hold my breath on these things.

That is a great draw, I don't know what you're talking about. Nova always struggles in the tourney.

Also, I'm hoping Jones still has some slush fund for Malik Newman. He's visiting LSU for the third time this spring.

I know, I know. Kentucky is the overwhelming favorite. However, we're much closer to home, and he's only going to be around for a season anyways. He obviously knows LSU's potential with Blakeney, Simmons, and/or Martin/Mickey. Plus we're getting everyone else back

I think LSU is a verrryyyy distant second, but I've learned to never underestimate jones and co on the recruiting trail

They do, but I'd still rather avoid them. But I'll be happy making the tourney.

I look forward to derailing OM's season at the Hump. You won't have the luxury of 30 extra free throws in Starkville.

It might be the most bizarre resume in college basketball. LSU also played its second worst game of the season against a good Old Dominion team and barely lost. Our worst game is without question MSU

The good news is, LSU has been good enough that those things will only effect seeding. They'll be a Top 10 seed and will have a chance to make a run.

Not if LSU gets matched up with Wisconsin Those baws have great size and athleticism on top of being extremely well-coached

I'm not saying LSU is going to beat Kentucky; very unlikely. However, LSU playing at its peak plus typical SEC home cooking would make the game as challenging for Kentucky as anyone can give them

Wimmenz telling me to shut my mouth, I am used to that.


As for the Hogs, I think the game at Rupp is not as huge as people think it is. The key games are in Oxford and the SECT. They have to redeem that game and win 1 in SECT to have a real chance of making the field.

I am wondering if Auburn is going to ruin someone's postseason chances here. MSU and Missouri are doing their parts. Auburn needs to drag some folks down too.

I wouldn't forget that LSU-most of the time-plays its best ball on the road.

Please. No. I can't take that. LSU would be too good with all 4 of those guys.


We'd probably still find a way to lose to Moo State

Yea it hurt to watch them too. hopefully MSU gets a few more wins to get their rpi below 150. Mizzou doesnt look like they are going to do that.

You're high as a kite man.

Arkansas is a 21 RPI right now. There would have to be a major losing streak to very shitty teams to keep Arkansas out at this point.
