Maybe my thinking is out of line, but I think a realistic, albeit slightly unlikely conclusion to the season is for LSU to finish 3-1 and lose in the semis or finals of the SEC tourney. I think if they go 3-1 and lose in the finals, they'd have a strong case to make the Big Dance, although certainly no guarantee. If that was the case, they'd have a ridiculous end of season record and be one of the hotter teams in the country and definitely peeking at the right time. What say you SoS and others? Is this unreasonable.


This year, the SEC is so badly looked at that the only team that would give LSU a "Quality win" would be Florida. I truly think people need to lower their expectations on NCAA Tourney. While I think it is very possible for LSU to go 3-1 to finish the regular season and possibly make the finals, I don't think that would be enough.

The SEC will most likely only have 2 MAYBE 3 bids. LSU wont finish in the top 4 so I don't see us getting a bid. Seton Hall has fallen off pretty good in Big East play (2-13) which really doesn't leave us with any quality wins.

This. The SEC has the 8th rated conference RPI. We have 3 teams with RPIs in the 200s (and LSU lost to 2 of them unfortuantely). The SEC is the weakest I have seen in forever.
