Lsu has to play to win the tournament. That's the only result that matters. Beating UT doesn't do shite for you if you go out the next day. Pitching your ace against the weakest team you play in the tournament is laughably stupid.

I know Hoover isn't Omaha, but didn't PM get reamed pretty hard last year for worrying about Game 2 before winning Game 1 in Omaha?

Wonder if that'll factor into his decision.

Lsu does not go out the next day if they would lies because they would then be in a double elimination format. The Tuesday game is the single elimination game and a loss could possibly put the regional host site in jeopardy.

Pitching Lange in Tuesday opens up the possibility of bringing him back for a Sunday Championship Game.
