re: Joe Lunardi - LSU is all but out of the NCAA tournament

Why is Florida still in according to Lunardi?
They are 17-12 and have one good win (wvu)

They played 5 top 50 teams OOC going 2-3.
They've played 11 top 50 teams overall. It's ok to lose games when you're schedule is hard in college basketball.



Vandy, a 10 seed, lost to Kansas, Baylor, Texas, Dayton and Purdue.
Had they played and beaten American, CoC, Gardner Webb, bitch state, and whogives a shite, they'd still be in the same position they are now (they'd be South Carolina actually, a 9 seed).
But had Vandy beaten just one of those 5 teams they lost to, they'd probably be a 7 seed right now. They win 2 of them, they are probably a 3 or 4 seed like Kentucky is.
There is literally no negatives to playing top teams OOC, assuming you are a good team that can finish around 12-6 in your conference
