# of losses for NCAA 1,2,&3 seeds the past few years. No need to freak out about losses

Pre-NCAA tournament losses per seed by year
2019
1 seeds: 5,3,6,3
2 seeds: 4,6,6,6
3 seeds: 3,6,6,9
2018
1 seeds: 2,4,7,5
2 seeds: 10,7,6,4
3 seeds: 4,8,7,9
2017
1 seeds: 3,1,4,7
2 seeds: 8,4,8,5
3 seeds: 7,8,5,4
Teams coming from a strong conferences(which the SEC is this year) can lose games and still come out being a top 3 seed in the NCAA tournament, especially if you have a good quad 1 record.
Also keep in mind that LSU’s conference schedule is front loaded. The schedule gets much easier after Saturday and LSU will be favored in every game but Kentucky.
LSU is #9 in the NET after the Alabama loss

While I agree with your analysis, LSU always gets the shaft in seeding. I would think we would need to stay at 5 or less losses for a top 3 seed.

It was a total joke last year that we ended up with an eight seed. We were one erratic bounce of the ball away from being SEC tournament champs

Who the hell in 2018 had a 10loss 2 seed?
Had to have been, Kentucky, duke, NC... Lol maybe Tennessee?

Regardless of the seed they ultimately get, I remain very optimistic about this team (which is not my general nature). The reason is because defense travels and defense wins in March. Now, that is not to say I think this is a national champion level team (you have to have balance on both ends of the floor to do that). But it may be (assuming they get back to health) Wade's best suited team to make a run in March.
Just from an LSU perspective, this is the best defensive team in 20 years. Who is number 2 on that list? The 2006 team that was 3rd in defensive efficiency. I think we all remember that season

It was North Carolina; They lost to A&M (7 seed) in the second round that year

Yep the last two games have really sucked especially knowing we could have been on our way to a special season without an injury to Pinson. But LSU still has a plenty enough chances to finish with a strong seed and make some noise in the tournament.

UNC. Got the shot beat out of them by Texas A&M 2nd round.

Just a reminder for everybody. Keep in mind we don’t have a “bad” loss yet.

Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Georgia, and Missouri are the remaining opponents where a loss would hurt noticeably.
