If we go 4 and 1 and win a tourny game we are on the bubble. 3 and 2 and we are out.


The thing about the bubble, is that LSU doesn't have one (so to speak). We are either going to finish in the top 5 of the SEC and get in; or we go 3 - 2 and get left out because of the "resume".

There is no bubble for LSU basketball.

Just have to be one of the 5 SEC teams that get in. :logjam:

Sounds like we need to root hard against bama and miss st the rest of the way. They are ahead of us in standings and the rpi

With the amount of decent mid majors this year I dont necessarily see 5 from the SE getting in. I think the selection committee will more likely still look at RPI, quality wins, bad losses, last 10, and where you finish in conference on 20% each basis.

If we can get our RPI down to the lower 50's or 40's I like our chances. We still need to finish in the top 4-5 in SEC. We need Marquette, Northwestern, and UVA to finish strong for sure.

I actually saw an article on ESPN saying if Northwestern can win 4 of their last 6 they are a shoe in... That would give us another win vs a tourney team. Marquette has looked solid. Rutgers blew the pooch in conference.

I'd love to see us play Vandy in the SEC tourney and beat them. I dont like our chances vs Kentucky or Florida, but I think we could beat Vandy and that would be a big win for us.

ask bama fans about RPI and being in top 5 of SEC, they were 12-4 in SEC last year and left out

RPI matters a lot to committee
