I believe Palm has picked the same number or better than Lunardi the last 4 years. I dont know about their bracket score though.

I think you get 3 points per team in the field
2 points per exact seed line and 1 point for per team within 1 seed line.

Well we are screwed

It would probably be one of the all-time snubs if LSU doesn't get in.

LSU probably has the most wins against top 100 teams compared to any bubble team. Unfortunately, they also have probably the most losses outside of the top 100. Therein lies the problem. I don't think LSU deserves to be in based upon that. It's inexcusable, in my book, given the talent LSU has. That said, I think they get in, and I think they could win a game or two....would not shock me. Of course, if they do, all the pumpers will be on here saying SEE, I told you they deserved to be in. The issue of whether they deserve it and whether they can win a game or two have nothing to do with each other.

Relax..we are in

Stop with the talent shite.

Lsu is marginally talented as a team. This was evident 2 games into the season.

So you value beating a shitty team more than beating a tip team? The tourneys a lure is built on upsets. You can't upset someone if you can't beat them

No, what was evident two games into the season and continued until the game last Friday is that we have a coaching staff that does not get the most out of the talent we have. When you play one of the best teams in college basketball history to the last play of the game and lose to 5 sub 100 RPI teams, you have talent, but you are not consistently getting the most out of your talent.

Jones has yet to yank a player out of the game for missing a block out, throwing the ball into the second row of the stands, getting completely lost on the defensive end of the floor or taking horrible low percentage shots early in the shot clock. We have players that could come in and play a possession or two to send a message that playing without focus and effort is not going to be acceptable. Instead, Jones has allowed his players to think playing that way is acceptable.

We consistently give up a boatload of offensive rebounds, considering our size and athleticism that is simply not being disciplined enough to box out every time a shot goes up, effort not talent. Gave up double digit offensive rebounds in 16 of 18 conference games.

Yes, we have the talent to be a Top 25 team, but our players have been allowed to play lazy, unfocused basketball and our coaching staff has not remedied the problem either in practice or by pulling players during the game. There are MAYBE 30 teams in America with first round draft picks on their roster this year. We have at least one and maybe a second round pick.

Again, this is not addressing the X and O's nightmare we have seen all year. Aside from late game gaffs, we make simple side out and baseline out of bounds plays so difficult. I have never seen a team struggle so much just to get the ball in bounds.
