The LSU Mens Basketball team has now moved up to #52 in the RPI. If they win their next 2 games, they will undoubtedly be ranked.
Their next game is against a winless Grambling team, but the following game is against a Virginia squad that is ranked #24. If LSU wraps these next 2 games up, they would move to 11-3, with 2 wins versus ranked teams in the 2 toughest college basketball conferences (Big East and ACC).
I think we can do this, and bring back some excitement to the PMAC for the first time in a couple years!



**Demember 29th Edit

As LSU was shellacking Grambling tonight, Rutgers beat #10 Florida! Yes, the same Rutgers team that LSU beat 55-50, on the road on December 3rd.

Now, i really believe that a win vs. #24 Virginia on Jan. 2nd could push us into the top 25.

We can do this!

Yes, I am sure that beating #24 Virginia at home will get them 120 votes in the AP poll (they currently have zero).

I mean seriously.

I agree. The losses to Cc and USA will hurt more than the UVA and Marquette wins.

There are at least 2 other threads on this that explain why you're wrong.

But...

CC, a team that's currently leading their conference.

I don't root for Memphis. Not that this thread has anything to do with Memphis.

We'd have receiving votes, but just a few. I'd say we would be about 32 with a win over UVA.

Same here. I think we need to reel off at least 4 more.

Only 3 loss team in the Top 25 is Kansas with losses to Duke, UNC, and Davidson.
