Vandy just ruined our last real hope of March Madness

You fools who were cheering for Tenn are idiots. Our only real chance at dancing was a win over Vandy and TAMU. If we beat a tourny team and one on the bubble, and even then lose in the final, there was a very good chance that we would be in by knocking out Vandy and lowering our RPI enough.
Now all is lost. A win against Tenn does nothing. Its all about RPI. If we get it under 80 we are in. Winning against Vandy and TAMU would have done this. But now a win against a crappy Tenn won't move our RPI enough.
Do you all who are celebrating the Tenn win get this?

Well they have already beaten both those teams, so...

Our RPI is 90 we have to win the tournament. We weren't getting in with wins over Vandy and A&M. Hell i'm not 100% sure we could have beaten Vandy

Our last hope of reaching the ncaa tournament is winning the sec tournament, so who we play is irrelevant

If it was a 100% guarantee we would've been in with only 2 wins and final appearance, you'd be right. It was not a guarantee. I'll take my chances with the easiest path to the tourney championship title.

LSU's best chance is to win the tourney so you need the easiest path possible to that goal.

I think you are the fool. LSUs only path to the NCAAT is through the automatic bid. Tenn beating Vandy makes that more probable. Florida beating A&M would do the same. Go gata

It advances us to the semis. We need to win the entire tournament. A win against Tennessee gets us one win closer.

I am pretty sure you are the fool here. A win over Vandy and A&M was almost certainly NOT getting LSU in as an at-large. The at-large ship started sailing about 3 weeks ago and was officially out of sight after the Kentucky loss last week.

LMFAO
Delusional.
Our RPI is 92, we arent even close. Our RPI needs to get in the LOW 70s to even have a chance, beating Vandy who is around 50 and A&M who is in the 20s wont get us near there.

Telling people who to pull for is a dick move....because YOU don't really know. If some of the Regular season champs win their own Tourney, then a Semi Final appearance may move us closer. How bout we just let it play out.

Our only chance of making the tournament after the loss at Kentucky was, and still is, winning the tournament.
You honestly believed that beating Vandy and TAMU would lower our shitty RPI enough to get us in?

I'm pretty sure we did that already by losing 13 games.

We weren't getting in unless we won the whole thing. It doesn't matter who we play at this point.

We have to win the tourney. Getting at-large pick with an RPI in the 80s hasn't happened since at least 2004 (I'm not sure it happened in 2004 but I am sure it has not after).
It was win or bust the whole time

So our only real chance was beating Vandy and TAMU, which would have put us in the actual finals of the SEC Tourney with an auto bid on the line.
But we don't have a chance of winning the final?
Solid logic
