At this point IDGAF. This team is a national title quality squad. We're going to have to best top flight competition to achieve our ultimate goal.
With our unusually shaky pitching and all the errors, we have a lot of work to do to beat "top flight competition".
While it's great our offense has been able to help us out when our pitching and fielding has been subpar (which usually isn't the case), anyone who watched the last 2 games, against the worst team in the tourney, Texas Southern, and our game tonight against Southeastern, and thought "this team is a "national title quality squad" is out of their damn minds.
Sure, the potential is there, but we have faced 1 team that was horrible, although they played 2 scrappy games, and another that's been decent, and we haven't really looked too good. If we were to play like this against teams with a good pitching staff and deeper lineups, we could be in trouble.
Hopefully, these 2 games will be a wake-up call for this team and they'll come out on top of things for their next game. But, we aren't ready to face "top flight competition" if we don't start playing better and definitely aren't a "national title quality squad" as long as we keep playing like we have thus far in the regionals.
Here's to the Tigers waking up and playing to their potential, instead of down to their opponent.

While its true that we played poorly against teams that outperformed their average quality over the course of this season, we still won the games comfortably by 5+ runs each. UNC lost to Davidson, Stanford got eliminated, etc. shite happens in regionals (although, I should note, rarely to LSU).
If we continue to make the basic mistakes of these past 2 then sure, we can't win it all, but this team definitely has the talent and experience/polish of a natty contender.
How far they go depends on the contributions of the young guns and whether or not their brilliance dries up against elite competition. If Watson Hess and Smith play the way they did tonight in concert with the top of the lineup, we can beat any team in the country.
