I am off today so I had time to go game by game with scores, but if you want, just guess record.


USM - Win 88-66 (10-2)

Savannah State - Win 96-45

at Mizzou - Win 74-67

Georgia - Win 73-71

at Ole Miss - Loss 69-77

Texas A&M - Win 72-63

at Florida - Loss 60-75

at Vandy - Loss 66-73

South Carolina - Win 85-73

at Miss State - Win 79-61

Auburn - Win 87-67

Alabama - Win 92-86 (OT)

Kentucky - Loss 65-77

at Tennessee - Loss 64-70

at Texas A&M - Win 78-67

Florida - Win 86-69

at Auburn - Win 80-71

Ole Miss - Win 73-71

Tennessee - Loss 62-67

at Arkansas - Loss 84-87


Overall - 22-9
SEC - 11-7

4th place finish in SEC = first round bye in SECt. Will play winner of Tennessee vs. Miss State/Auburn winner. We will finally beat the Vols and then of course run into UK and we will lose that one. So, 23-10 going into Selection Sunday.

top 20 wins:
West Virginia

top 50 wins:
U Mass
Texas Tech
Sam Houston State
Missouri
Georgia
Alabama
Ole Miss
Tennessee

Bad Losses:
Clemson


Tigers should get an 8 seed, maybe 7 and a lot of it has to do with quality losses and a decent non-conference resume -- especially potential Big XII winner WVU. The 2009 team won the (weak) SEC, but only drew an 8 seed due to no quality OOC wins and basically only one opponent in Xavier -- a home game they lost. This team will be no more than + or -3 off of this prediction. I think a 4th place finish behind Kentucky, Arkansas, and Florida will be enough to get us and likely one more SEC squad in the dance.

Finishing fourth in the SEC wont get LSU an 8th seed.

@Mizzou W
Georgia W
@Ole Miss W
A&M W
@Florida L
@Vandy L
USCe W
@MSU W
Auburn W
Bama L
Kentucky L
@Tenn W
@A&M W
Florida L
@Auburn W
Ole Miss W
Tenn W
@Arky L

12-6 SEC record, gets us into the tourney without much of a problem.

Final SEC standings are not that relevant.

Close to what I was guessing in pre-season, however having seen the team's progress to this point, I don't think they lose 7 in conference. More like 24-7 overall- 13-5 in conference. This team will lose only once at home, I'm thinking and go 5-4 on the road; 2nd or 3rd in conference.
