The committee CONSTANTLY screws LSU in seeding. It goes back to the Dale days, and is continuing because they can't pin jack on the General.

Anyone that can show me a year we got a fair seed, I can show you THREE where we got screwed. And I'm not an announcers or refs hate LSU fan. This is CRIMINAL.

Agreed. LSU always gets a seed two- three spots lower than they should. Without fail.

Most of college sports is criminal with backroom deals for players to go to this or that school. Why should selections be different. It is all a cesspool.

We were the first team in the SEC to be a One Seed two years in a row.

I don’t succumb to conspiracies but this would be a good one. Not likely.

Yea, 44 years. Starting with the 1977-78 team which didn't make neither the NCAA nor the NIT tournaments. And that team had one of the best starting lineups in LSU history, and finished 18-9 overall (12-6 in SEC), and were #30 in SOS (out of 253). That team beat #1 Kentucky in front of an overflow crowd in the PMAC in OT, after all five starters had fouled out! And the uniforms the Tigers were that season were classics, and have not been seen since (even as throwbacks).

Starting lineup that year:

Rudy Macklin-F
Dwayne Scales-F
Kenny Higgs-G
Jordy Hultberg-G
Ethan Martin-G

Other players included Lionel Green (C), Rick Mattick (C) and Willie Sims (G).

Another obvious one was in 2009 where we were underseeded (don't remember if we we're 8 or 9) and had to face off against the national title winning UNC game. We're always screwed by the committee it's a joke.

Y’all got screwed, plain and simple. That seeding is BS. Your team plays with guts, though. They have a chance to get through Michigan.

I hate to say this but this team has some HORRIBLE blowout loses with hardly any big time wins. I think the seeding is spot on. LSU just isn’t a consistent basketball team period.

I think it is more favoritism to other conferences than bias again LSU. They consider the Big 10 and ACC superior conferences in basketball with the Big 12 third and the PAC 12 fourth. Then they are always surprised to see almost annually a team like AU or LSU In the final 4. The media calls it a fluke and it the same old thing.

I remember the year I thought they were doing us a favor by matching us up with a patsy Navy team. I read that they did have one good player, a big center, but how good could he possibly be?

That player was David Robinson and we found out how good he was.

right, the Committee, which changes every year, has decided to screw LSU for over 4 decades.

I'm sure that's true.
