re: Pre-Season Hoops Polls: LSU receiving votes in both Major Polls

My prediction of NIT is just as good as those who are predicting final four. Actually, based on where they are ranked currently, they look closer to a NIT team than they do final four team. They are going to be very good next season, but just because they had a good recruiting class doesn't mean they are final four bound this season. UK had a much better recruiting class last season and didn't even make the big dance. I hope LSU does make it to the final four, but I am also realistic. I'd say a NCAA bubble/NIT lock this year and next season they will be a solid NCAA tourn. team. Looking forward to seeing them play this season. It's great that there is some legit excitement about basketball again.
