LSU Basketball is going to make the Tournament (NCAA)

Lots of doubters, lots of hating, and a lot of very reputable college basketball reporters are all but writing off the Tigers in the NCAA tournament this year, even with Ben Simmons.
Here is how they get in...
Beat Missouri, easily
Beat UK
Other Helpful Results
Florida over UK (Legitamizes our win over them mixed with a win over UK)
Auburn and Vandy over Texas A&M (Need them to fall below us)
Arkansas and Tennessee winning out (RPI Help)
SEC Tournament
Best Scenario...#1 seed, but since it won't happen, the next best seed is...
#4 Seed
It pits us against a 5, 12, or 13 seed. If we win, we get the #1 seed. An easy path to the title game isn't what we need at this point, we need to start beating good NCAA Tourney teams so we need to match up against the Top seed and beat them to make the Finals.
If this all happens, and we beat the #1 seed to make the Tourney finals, LSU will be in the NCAA tournament.

There are a million very good reasons for that.

Don't see it with the RPI

Just buy your NIT tickets and be happy you get one more game at home with Ben Simmons

I had a dream that LSU went to Rupp, shot 40 free throws and made all 40. It was awesome. We won.

Did you all of a sudden forget that Lunardi said that we either had to beat Kentucky or win the conference Tournament title?

Thank God. I was beginning to think it wasn't going to happen.

shite, I'd be happy with 20/40

I agree that making it to the Finals might squeak us into one of the play-in games. Only way I'll feel confident is if we win though. Which I'm not holding my breath on.

Why? Do you want to be embarrassed on national TV again by this team?
LSU does not deserve to be in the NCAA tournament. Plain and simple.

Why/how are you allowed to still make threads?

Ride for the play-in baby

meh as bad as we've been at times, this field is so weak I wouldn't be shocked if we won a game or 2 in the tournament. So yeah I'd like to see us get in to have a rooting interest in the tournament. I don't expect it but stranger things have happened.
