Sunday night: find out your traveling to the pacific northwest. Logiatically squeeze in practice, flight, game prep.

Let's assume a victory and flight home. Next up, a possible trip to Ohio against Dayton.

Win there, load up and likely head back to the pac nw to face Washington. Win that one, head back to BR, and load up for the big apple.

That is a potentially brutal travel schedule. The NIT sure didn't do LSU any favors.

That's what happens when you are competing to be #69

Dayton is hosting the NCAA tournament. If LSU and Dayton both win, I don't know where the game would be played, because apparently LSU won't host.

LSU isn't winning a game in the pacific northwest in the first round anyways so it's a moot point.

they may have had a practice late last night and hit the road this morning. probably have a run thru this evening and a shoot around in the morning.


we may get that tuesday/monday slot meaning if we win our next game won't be till next monday (happened to oklahoma st. last yr)


if thats the case, by this time next week dayton may be available, not sure if they are hosting women's games as well.

Yeah, it's pretty bad but, it's postseason, suck it up. Hopefully they have been preparing for the possibility.

I feel like if I were on the team I'd be jacked to playing in this game and exciting to play at a place like Oregon. It would be fun as hell I'd think to get a plane, fly to a random and nice place like that and play for your season on national TV. You defiantly take on an "us against the world" mentality.

It's only two hours, 8:30 BR and 6:30 their time. I'd hope the adrenaline would make up for any jet lag. IDK how these things work but maybe fly up there Tuesday.

I'm exciting they're playing post season. It gives the team more experience, especially more tourney experience.

BCS conference schools shouldn't even be eligible for this "special needs" tournament.
