If they wanted to see it potentially happen, and still use a team with a shitty resume then they could have threw in LSU as a 16 seed.


That's actually an interesting point because from my memory the committee has never done that...

It's like they have a cut-off line for big conference teams...

If they aren't good enough to be a 9-10 seed...they are out.

But it would have been funny as hell to see a team with LSU's potential and talent get seeded a #16 and see the look on Virginia's teams face as it unfolded.

Thing is, LSU couldn't get up for A&M in what was a lose or go home game. So now after they blew their first two chances to get into the tourney (losing to UK to end the season, losing in the Conference tourney) so they should just reward them? Seems kinda stupid IMO. They were absolutely abused in their last two games against Tourney teams as it is.

Going with the hypothetical, virginia would obviously be super pissed.

Then they would come out and wax LSU by 20 and get ready for Saturdays game against an actual team
