re: New question NCAA tourney seed IF...

Let's play "pick your brackets and look for your Cinderella teams" for a second.
If LSU were to make the run through the conference tourney, we then would have 20+ wins, a hot streak to close the season, and a legit big-time player (O'Bryant is 6'8" and has a bunch of double-doubles).
If someone from another conference had that resume (say it was Cal, or Wisconsin, or Texas), you'd be thinking 8-9 seed, and damn dangerous 2nd round opponent. FWIW, I don't know any of those team's records or whether they're any good. My point is, if you put another school's jerseys on the current LSU team and they finish out strong like the OP suggests, that's where I would expect to see them.

Yes
Yes
Doesn't factor in at all.
This is where RPI comes in. And ours sucks.
ETA: in other words, we could do all that work to get in the dance, and our RPI would still bite us on the seeding. I bet we would be a 13.

I still can't believe we had the 8 seed in 2009. We should have at least been #6.
