Has Mcneese State as a 13 seed.
so he has them winning the Southland Conference Tournament
They're 6-2 with two of their wins being against the College of Biblical Studies (DII) and Champion Christian (Non-NCAA school)

It should probably be mentioned that they also have road wins at UAB & VCU and a RPI of 32.

While true, they also have double-digit wins AT VCU and UAB. Neither are particularly easy places to win. Especially for a program like McNeese. I don't think people outside of LC fully appreciate the level of suck that program has been for a long time. They haven't had a winning season in over 10 years. Let alone a NCAAT appearance, of which they've had two in their history as a D-1 school.
Currently, they are the (EDT) 6th highest ranked team on KenPom among all 1-bid league programs. For context the top 100 in those rankings is always dominated by power conf. and high mid-major programs because of the SOS factor. However, on that note, McNeese, even with the games you mentioned, has a much higher SOS right now than LSU (32 v. 206) which is helping them reach a (current) ranking one spot lower than LSU. The SOS discrepancy will shift as the year goes on when LSU plays an SEC schedule while McNeese plays a Southland Conf. schedule. But it is incredibly biased to discount the early success Wade is having there. He didn't walk into a stacked mid-major program with a long history of success like, for example, a....Murray St.

What about their other 4 wins?
Which losses do they have that are equal to lsu losing to Nicholls?
