I honestly feel that on any given night LSU could beat any team in the country. Makes me very excited about the prospects of making the tournament. We could beat anyone. Just have to get in...

I really like the way LSU is trending up in the KenPom rankings. His rankings are generally a very good indicator of potential success in the NCAAT. For example: Tenn was an 11 seed and had to play in the play-in game just to get into the field of 64. However, they were ranked much higher by Ken Pom than their record and seed indicated. What happened in March? UT made a run to the Sweet 16 and damn near made it to the Elite 8.

In 2006 LSU was a 4 seed in the tournament, but ranked in the top 8 (I think) of the Ken Pom rankings. We all know what happened in March of that year.

Like you said, if this team can just find its way in, they might have a chance to make some noise
