re: Could getting the 4 seed/1st round bye hurt LSU?

We'd be right on the line to get into the tournament at that point.
And usually teams that are right on the line, or "on the bubble" that get in end up with somewhere between a 10-13 seed. The very low seeds are for teams that win their conference and our guaranteed a spot regardless of their talent.
I haven't really been following the small conferences, but imagine if Murray State somehow loses in their conference tourney, then whatever crappy team that pulled a crazy upset would get in automatically and take the lower seeds, thus LSU could get a 10.

We're not close to a 10 seed right now and beating the teams we've got left in the regular season won't get us much closer. We're going to need to win the SEC tourney or take out UK on the way to the final to make the NCAA tourney.

Except for we'd be right on the line. Directly on it. No way we would get a 10. We have ONE quality win, a mediocre schedule at best, and a relatively poor RPI.

That would be bad for LSU, bro. We want all the favorites to win their conference tournaments.

The last teams in are going to be 11 or 12 seeds and playing in that new play-in game. 13 seeds are for automatic qualifiers who won their conference.

Teams like Murray State who get upset now become bubble teams and would take spots away from teams like LSU at the 10,11,12. They won't be any lower if they didn't win their conference.
