LSU makes bubble talk on SI.com

SI.com Bubble Talk
From the article:
In The Mix
LSU (16-10, 6-6; RPI: 63, SOS: 50)
Chalk up "writing a bubble blurb for the Tigers" on the list of things I didn't expect to have to do this season, but here they are, fresh off wins over Alabama and Mississippi State and then at South Carolina, to get to .500 in the league and give themselves a shot. The last four are manageable: Georgia, at Mississippi, Tennessee, at Auburn. Get at least three of the four and we'll see what the SEC tourney brings.
GW: Marquette, Alabama?
BL: South Alabama, at Coastal Carolina
Stating the obvious but the two bad losses could come back to haunt us, and pulling off one of the close losses to Northwestern or UVa would've been huge. All that said, we win out and it appears we'll have a legit shot. Its a very soft bubble this year.

They look for streak and trends... if we finish strong it certainly helps create that pciture, esp if the BLs are earlier.

i still can't believe we lost those games against Coastal and USA.
sitting at 18-8 right now would be frickin unreal.

It's a shame we dropped two games to inferior competition.

I follow this board pretty closely but it's possible I may have just missed it. I see a lot of threads about LSU being on the NCAA bubble. I have yet to see anyone mention the games missed by Johnny O and Stringer. I would think the committee would take that into account somewhat, which would obviously favor us. They are two of our top six guys. Does everybody out there thinks this doesn't matter at all?

Id rather go deep into the NIT then lose in the first round of the NCAA FWIW....

a BIG concern on making the bubble is how many unexpected conference tourney winners there are. each one that gets that auto bid takes away our chances. happens every year. gotta win out and make some noise in tourney, but that still is no guarantee if some other surprise teams sneak in w/ tourney wins.

still think we gotta win at least 1 in the SEC tourney, quite possible even 2, in addition to winning out of course.

Man this team would be in so much better position if we didn't drop these two bad ones. 18-8, 6-6 in the SEC with no bad losses looks way better.

Also the only good win is really Marquette. Alabama aint that good and we only beat them when half the team was suspended.

We're in the dance if we win out the regular season. If we do that, we would've won 8 of our last 9 and we'll finish 4th in the SEC. That should get us in. If we win a game in the SEC tournament, that would clinch it.
