Rest of season outlook

quote:

---

I think we go 4-3 over this stretch and barely sneak into the NCAA's

4-3 the rest of the way won't do it I believe.

I think we need 6 more wins including SEC tourney to get in

My thought as well.

The Arkansas game could make or break our season. If we can beat them it will boost our chances greatly.

agreed. Beating them would be a huge boost for our resume and it may very well come down to that game.

LSU Resume (as of today):

Overall: 17-7
Conference: 6-5
RPI: #52
Vs. RPI Top 50: 4-3
Vs. RPI Top 100: 7-4

Good Wins: UGA (RPI #27), @WVU (RPI #29), @Ole Miss (RPI #40), UMass (RPI #47)

Bad Losses: @Mizzou (RPI #186), @Miss St (RPI #183), Auburn (RPI #153)

Good news is that they would be in if it started today, IMO. And if they can take care of business from here out they should be in.

I agree that 6 is probably the magic #, esp if that includes a win over Arky.

Agreed. I believe it will take a minimum of 11-7 in conference plus 1 more win in the SECT to be considered a sure bet. It's a shame they've put themselves in this predicament of having to finish stronger than they've played in a while. Those losses to Mizzou, MSU and Auburn are just killers now.

It's so difficult to predict how this team will perform game to game. Jan 10th through the 28th was their best stretch in-conference. They went 5-1 with wins over Florida and Vandy on the road. 4-3 the rest of the way out may be attainable. But with the inconsistency and lack of depth, I could easily see 2-5 as well. SEC Tourney? Depends on the seeding and bracket.

I'm thinking NIT. Maybe a home game?

Toughest part of the schedule coming up. If LSU takes away all the positives that came from yesterday, things like confidence and team work, anything is possible.
