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.

An excuse? No

Does it come into play?

Well there is literally a link where a committee member is quoted saying that it will certainly come into play.

Not 1 person has said they don't count.

Yea, no crap..hence why I named 3 that we lost because of 2 players being out.

What exactly does this mean? To me, it means if LSU would have been missing Hornsby and Victor, they would have lost. However, they weren't so they won. Thus, this goes to prove how important those guys are.

Yes, true. But if you don't realize that we lost 3 games by an average margin of .3 in regulation while missing 2 of our top 3 scorers...then you have no business arguing. We are not arguing whether LSU won or lost games, we're talking about the strength in which they did it. Committee members, national media pundits, the biggest names in the industry have ALL said it matters that LSU lost 4 games without Victor and Hornsby on the court...so why do LSU fans think it doesn't matter?
