Basketball Prediction NCAA, NIT or home?

Looks like bubble NCAA

I still think we make the NCAA. NIT minimum barring horrible injuries.

whatever it is make sure to keep your 2 seven footers on the bench

I'll say NCAA. There aren't a lot of opportunities for big wins in SEC play outside of Kentucky, but if we hold our own and win most of the ones we're supposed to, I think we'll make it.

NCAA or busts. But we will make it into the PROMISE LAND!

As of TODAY this looks like an NIT team to me. However, there is still plenty of time and opportunity for that to change as LSU has yet to get into the heart of their schedule.
I just don't see a team that does enough of the little things consistently well for them to have a ton of consistency in SEC play. LSU certainly has as much talent (if not more) than anyone in the SEC not named UK or UF. Yet, it seems that in each game thus far (except UMass) LSU has failed to execute in some aspect that keeps their opponent (regardless of how good they are) in the game. One night it's turnovers, the next poor outside shooting, effort on the glass, effort/execution on the defensive side of the ball, poor situation awareness (like attacking the basket for a tough layup with 28 seconds on the shot clock and less than 2:00 minutes on the game when up 8-10 points) etc.

From what I've seen thus far I'll say this is a solid NIT team. They will really need to step it up in conference play if an NCAA bid is in the future.
The SEC being weak is a mixed blessing. Could translate to more wins but also to less teams garnering an NCAA invite.

NIT
Half of SEC games are on road (as always). Team is good, but not good enough to overcome the SEC refs love of the home team (e.g. Shaq - @ ARK). And with Kentucky we have at least one guaranteed home loss because they are more than good enough.

sec champs. so yes, they will be in the ncaa tournament.

Finish 3rd in SEC. Low NCAA tourney spot or definitely NIT
Posted on 12/17/14 at 2:41 pm to JEAUXBLEAUX
I would like to say NCAA, but I'm not sure that the SEC is strong enough that we can survive 5 or 6 conference losses and get in, we can't lose close games if we want to make it to the dance

The current NCAA rpi of 15 for the Tigers(That's 2nd in the SEC) bodes very well. Several teams on their early schedule have proven to be better than first thought and it's paying off in LSU's ranking. If they maintain an RPI in the top 40 and win at least 10 games in conference they will be in solid for the dance. They do need to win these next 4 ooc games which is looking a bit more difficult without Gray for some or all of them.

I'm honestly shocked at the negativity regarding the team right now. We are sitting pretty right now if we can wether the timmy q injury
