re: LSU Basketball with #1 Hardest SoS in conference

Disagree with you, but only because I still believe that 9-7 and two wins in the SEC tournament will get LSU in the NCAAs. And 9-7 is still on the table with a loss tomorrow.

Im still not so sure on this. I said from the start I thought 10 wins were required, and I still feel that. Really because we didn't beat a single team we shouldn't have. 10-6 assumed 2 wins over teams that we should probably lose to. Alabama unfortuantely had noone on their roster which took that big win away from us.

We are now sitting with 4 wins in conference that we were suppose to win and 6 losses that we were suppose to take. LSU needed to win a game that was a surprise. That is why I think the State game is very important. We need a big victory against a teak that is seen as better than us. It is a home game which wont help as much but it will be a win over a top 50 RPI team. Depending on how the SEC ends I think LSU could possibly get into the NCAA's with a 9 win season, but only if everything goes our way and we somehow end up in 4th place. with 10 wins I think we can end in 5th place and still get into the tournament. Obviously a big SEC tournament could change what people think of this team so I won't say anything is impossible with 9 wins.
