I would rather UNC-W over Ole Miss or Rice. I wouldn't want NC State or Iowa either but am really, really glad we didn't get CofCharleston or Arkansas!!
I tend to agree with you; however, remember UNCW beat CofCharleston in their conference tournament final several days ago. Just a little worried that UNCW is peaking at the right time and will give us some challenges after they beat Tulane.

I agree somewhat, it's certainly not the toughest.

LSU is 25-5 since the UK series. That's peaking.
Lots of nervous nellies on this board.

To be fair, they were 23-3 before the UK series.

"You have no idea how super regional pairings work"
I am definitely no college baseball expert. Just a fan. But I thought I had the basic concept down. I know for the super regional that the if the top 8 seeds win they will host the winner of the regional they are matched up with. With ours being the Houston regional. So if LSU wins they host the team That comes out of the Houston regional. And if LSU were to not make it out. It would be Houston to host a super. If neither win then the highest seed left would host the super. And I thought that even the it wasn't mandatory or automatic. They tried to match up regionals at least with location a strong consideration to try to make attendance high and try to give teams fans a nudge to travel. Please if there is anything I don't to seem to know, I would like to if you wouldn't mind informing me

You do realize that we had Houston beat until Mainieri stepped on his own dick, right?

I have my hands in gloves all week so they can be well rested to slap hands with the guys from UNC Wilmington again!

You got most of it right, the only thing is that there are certain rules in place that separate teams from the same conference. We couldn't have gotten Ole Miss or Arkansas as our 2 seed since 2 SEC teams can't be in the same regional, and we couldn't have been paired up with A&M or Vandy due to a similar rule that prevents 2 hosts from the same conference from being paired in a super regional.

UNCW is of no special concern to LSU. I actually think Tulane is a more balanced team. But both are flawed.
Point is, people are concerned about Poche, Bain and the closer role. It doesn't matter who's in the regional; these concerns would still be the issue.

I am just glad we did not get Texas A&M because of their distance they would have been another option to pair us with.
They don't pair #1 Regional seeds from the same conference against each other.
The only potential all-SEC SR matchup I saw was a possible Auburn-Florida matchup. But Auburn is a 3 seed.

Okay cool. I did not know that. I really appreciate. So there was no chance oF getting Arkansas as a 2 seed or being paired with A&M Or Vanderbilt. Appreciate the knowledge. Could there be a 2 seed from the same conference in the regional you are paired with?

I started looking it up but I now have work to do so here is what I have below:
Without comparing to everyone else seems pretty doable and we are the superior team by far in every measurable, as opposed to last year when Houston was pretty solid.
RPIs as of 5/23:
LSU: 4
UNCW: 36 (38-16)
Tulane: 42 (34-23)
Lehigh: 239
Lehigh has played 4 games vs top 150 teams: 2 losses to 106 Rider and 2 losses (last weekend) to No. 67 Columbia.
UNCW highlights include:
Beating College of Charleston twice in CAA tourney
Swept by COC in early may
Lost to Coastal Carolina midweek in May
Swept by Florida State late Feb early March
Won series vs. Maryland early March
2-0 vs Columbia in mid March
Won Late march midweek vs ECU
lost late march midweek vs Tulane
0-2 in midweek games vs UNC
Tulane is Tulane

Yes, that is a possibility. It didn't happen with us, but you can see an example with Houston and Tulane. Houston is hosting a regional, and Tulane is in the same conference and a 3 seed in the paired regional.

LSU cannot complain about the regional pairings...period.

Most people in this thread would agree with that, I'm not complaining one bit. The OP is just trying to cover all the bases by saying we could slip up, and we certainly could, but it's entirely on us if we don't make it out of this regional.

I don't see anything special about these teams. It's probably as easy as it gets. Houston last year was a great team and LSU had arguably the hardest #2 seed in the regional.
We're LSU though, we shouldn't be scared of anyone. I kinda wish we ended up with the hardest regional just to battle test us for the supers/omaha. If you're really #1 why does it matter you get the hardest available?
The way I'm seeing it as despite our issues with consistency at pitching what do these teams have? Are they a model of consistency this year and have infinitely less flaws than us? No.

So then lets have the #1 seeds in March Madness battle it out first round since it doesnt matter

Except this isn't basketball and that's not how seeding works in baseball.
