How does LSU always have such a low RPI in basketball?

It is like year after year, always a struggle with this rpi and getting selected for the tourney. Even with wins against opponents with higher rpi, LSU does not climb much.

really poor scheduling. I have always been a supporter of Jones, but have continuously said he puts us in a position to fail with the way he schedules. You can't play multiple 300+ RPI teams.

75% of RPI is a strength of schedule rating. Only 25% matters on if you win your games or not.

I agree with everyone that tougher OOC schedule would help, but in terms of this season, if you don't have a tough OOC then you better win. Which we didn't so our RPI is awful.

We play terrible OOC teams and lose to them.

Look at LSU's losses and figure out how many of those were against NCAA tourny teams, that is your answer

Oklahoma
Texas A & M
South Carolina
Alabama
Florida
Houston
Marquette
NC State
Arkansas
Charleston
Wake Forest
Tennessee

Winning more games would probably help

Beating OU would've helped. I started a topic saying if we don't win that golden opportunity at home, we're not dancing. I was right

The non conf was not that bad, you played Houston, NC State and Marquette on road or neutral sites, committee respects that no matter what their seasons were like. NC state was coming off a tourney trip.
OU was #1 in the country at time
