Not too flattering - Not too harsh.

What will the selection committee make of LSU? Getting slotted as a five (or four) seed and shipped off to Boise after winning the SEC seems like harsh treatment, but it's what might happen to the Tigers. Between the SEC having a down year (it's clearly the worst major conference, ranking sixth in the RPI) and LSU not winning any big nonconference games (it beat Washington State, and that's it), the committee has justification to keep a host of teams that didn't win league titles ahead of the Tigers on the s-curve. This doesn't mean they can't win in the tournament; they have a solid veteran core of Tasmin Mitchell, Garrett Temple and Marcus Thornton that could pose a tough matchup for a less-athletic four (or five) seed in the second round.

I keep reading all this kind of dribble about how bad the SEC is this year--would be great to see a couple of the 4 or 5 SEC teams in the NCAA tourny make the Sweet 16.

ESPN has us in Boise also, and that is more upsetting to me than getting the 5 seed

How could they stick us in Boise 2 outta the last 5 years? They have many other regionals that we could be put in, so why does this one keep coming up?

shite, sounds harsh to me. If lsu keeps winning, they should be a 2 seed. Anyway, we will wait a couple weeks and see.

It would be better this time, because TJ graduated from Boise State.

Went there in '92 NCAA Tourn. with the Bengal Brass Band. Boring except for the fact it was the first time I ever went snow skiing....the day after we beat BYU pretty good...then got beat by Bobby Knight (again) that Sat.

Not the greatest way for "Kazaam" to go out!

The SEC Tourn in Birmingham that year was great. Daddy Dale went ballistic on a Ten player after a hard foul on the "Diesel". The next game against UK we were (the band) booed harshly everytime we play a school song. I was loving it even though we lost

I was on that Boise BBBB trip in 1992! I think the ski patrol didn't know what to do with us. Between us and South Florida's basketball team, the slopes were full of rookies. Pretty dangerous but lots of fun!

the selection committee hates LSU...

LSU Banker,
I went on that same trip to Boise with Bengal Brass. I didn't go skiing with everyone, but I remember a lot of people coming back pretty banged up.

I think it sounds great. The guy says LSU has a chance to win it all. Who would of thought that at the beginning of the year.

Yeah...we had a girl with us that didn't make down the mountain (uninjured)on the first try. We were a bunch of dumb conasses. I remember the snow was extremely hard...like concrete. The instructor gave us free lessons....I guess he felt sorry for us.

SI and ESPN are only guessing and they are just like you and me have no say in the final bracket. Remember there is a lot of basketball left to play before the final results are in.

Boise was fun in 2005 except for losing.
