LSU losing to Nicholls is going to be a massive NET/RPI anchor the entire season.

Well that and their bad record.


Looking at the remainder of LSU's non-conf schedule, this is almost a must-win, or they will need to beat K State and Texas. The remainder of their games are against truly horrible RPI teams. Lose this game and get swept by K State & Texas, and the RPI probably won't recover this season, even to NIT standards.

I think that's pretty much the default condition for this year's team.

Never think that preconference games are the same as preseason. Look at last year's Vandy Commodores. They finished 11-7 and tied for fourth in the SEC with Missouri, and won 10 of 11 conference games in one stretch late last season, beating Kentucky and Florida each twice, and beating Tennessee and Auburn, and making the semis of the SEC tourney. But they were an undistinguished 6-7 in nonconference action, and could not be found on the NCAA Tournament Selection Sunday.

If the only thing holding us back from postseason is our OOC schedule, but we were competitive in the SEC, I would take that tradeoff at this point in the rebuilding process.
