That is always bothered me that the Tigers have failed to make noise in the tourney... No matter what sport ... It's always the first objective to win your conference

They won the conference in 1991, 2000, 2006, 2009, 2019. The SECT doesn't determine who "wins the conference". It just determines who wins the SECT.

I'd MUCH prefer an LSU team that is good enough to be the best in the SEC over a period of 18 games vs. a team who happened to play well for 2-3 nights.

In the regular season yes not necessarily a tournament. The regular season is an honor that proves your team was better than everyone else over a couple of months not one weekend in single elimination games.

I think it’s dumb that the NCAA tourney gives auto bids to tournament champs instead of regular season champs. I get why they do it to draw interest and blah blah blah but it’s still dumb.
