Lsu should not be a team struggling to get in the tournament. You see the individual talent but they haven't quite clicked as a team
Since LSU got all their players back, they are 11-5. 3 of those losses were on the road against top 30 RPI teams. Another was against the then #1 team in the country at home. The only "wtf loss" was against Wake Forest.
Against Houston we lost in OT without Patterson and Victor
Against Marquette we lost by 1 without Hornsby and Victor
Against NC State we lost in OT without Hornsby and Victor.
Call me crazy, but all 3 of those would be wins had they been healthy. People want to dismiss that and say "a loss is a loss", but if we were 18-6 we would probably be a 5 or 6 seed currently. So don't talk about how bad we are with our talent, when our talent missed SEVERAL key games

Lsu's injuries are not an excuse for all of their losses. Do we not get to count the vandy win since they were missing a key guy? That is one of the best wins on lsu's resume. All teams have injuries. I agree that they should be taken into account but it does not mean those games don't count.
You also can't say Lsu lost close games without also then looking at their close wins. They barely beat Arkansas at home (Missed game winning 3 at buzzer), Georgia at home (meltdown in last minute), and Alabama on the road (came back and took the game at the end). They've won and lost close games.

We can talk about the record since we got all the players back. And you are right that our losses were all quality losses. But eventually, don't we have to beat someone to improve our resume? I think we have two quality wins right now (at home against UK and for the time being at Alabama; @ Vandy is on the cusp).
They need to sweep the rest of their home games and get at least one of @ UT or @ Ark. The UK game at Rupp is a guaranteed loss.
Let's wait and see. I'm just very disappointed it's coming down to the bubble again this year, when pre-season, many of us were thinking we'd be a lock and probably a top 8 seed.
