Why don't they flip the brackets after Friday like they used to?

It wasn't done that way for long. When the semis switched back to single elimination there wasn't as much of a need for it. As I understood it part of the reasoning for it was to avoid situations where you may play a team 3 times in a short amount of time if the "If Necessary" game was forced on Saturday.

so... barring LSU completely falling apart here... have the Tigers pretty much wrapped up the #1 overall seed in the NCAAs?

Flip them and you won't have a possible rematch until the championship game.
