Anyone worried that LSU may get screwed by this? Being that they are on the bubble and some of these teams who already in like Gonzaga skip out on their tournament. This could potentially cut out several bubble teams.

There is a simple solution for LSU...don't stay on the bubble. A win, at home, this weekend would be a good step in that direction.

Probably too soon to worry about since the team has work to do to make it into the tournament.

However, if Alabama opts out that would remove our worst match up in the SEC in our own tournament.

I still think the NCAA will reward teams that play in conference tourneys, especially for seeding purposes.

Only a handful of teams can really sit there and say I don't need the tourney.

And it would be a shame if someone like Bama opted out and UK gets on a roll and wins the tourney taking a spot from another deserving team.

It's why I wish they would have given the auto bid to the regular season champion in a year like this.

UK is not a team I am worried about in the tournament. They are a good match up for LSU. LSU looked bad against them earlier, but they played about as bad as you could and the opponent didn't matter. UK is a poor shooting team and doesn't play well. Amazing that they had two number 1 recruiting classes.

LSU plays in a real conference. Gonzaga plays in high school gyms against Mickey mouse teams. Nobody is skipping out on the SEC tournament

This. And I doubt Gonzaga would either. Few is a competitor.

If LSU fails to make the tourney, they can only blame themselves. They’ve had plenty of opportunity to put themselves securely into the big dance.
