College Basketball analyst Jerry Palm of CBS Spots unveiled his way-too-early bracket predictions this week and has LSU as a No. 5 seed playing No. 12 seed Northeastern in Hartford.

LSU finished the 2017-2018 season with an 18-15 record (8-10 SEC) and a trip to the NIT. The Tigers add plenty of talent to the 2018-2019 roster with the additions of five-star signees Emmitt Williams and Nazreon Reid and four-star signees Ja’Vonte Smart and Darius Days.

Palm predicts that nine teams will make the tournament: Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn, Mississippi State, LSU, Florida, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, and Missouri.

His top seeds in the tournament will be Kansas, Duke, Tennessee, and Gonzaga.

As pumped as I am for these freshmen coming in, what really raises my stoke meter is kavell bigby-williams. He seems forgotten after sitting out this year, but the dude is 6-11, was a nat'l juco POY averaging 16.8 points, 13.6 rebounds and 5.6 blocks, and has spent the last year learning Wade's system. Him and Naz will give teams a fit down low.

Seems about right. That would have them basically ranked somewhere between 15-25 at the end of the season. Would be incredible if he made that much progress.
