re: Is it possible for us to make the NCAA tourney without winning the SEC Tourney?

I think if we make it to the Championship Game, we will get an invite to the NCAAT.
See the 1993 LSU Men's Basketball team. Very similar resumes.

There's been a poster on this board who has said for 6 freaking weeks 20 gets us in. TIGAHLOVAH. Now, me screaming this for a month and a half doesn't guarantee I'm right, but that would total NINE quadrant 1 wins, probably tops in the country. A couple projections have us first and next 4 out NOW. I see no way we are left out if we lose on sunday.

The Q1 wins situation is very fluid. Right now Arkansas has a 30 RPI. If they lose their first game in the SECT that likely drops them out of the top 30 and in the process, takes away a Q1 win for LSU. Now, Mizzou sits at 33. If they can win in the SECT, they likely jump into the top 30, giving LSU a Q1 win.
20 wins in and of itself isn't some magic number. It's WHO you beat. MSU would be a good, but not great win. Tenn. would be a HUGE win. Florida/Arkansas would be a great win. But if, say, South Carolina gets hot and makes a run to the semi-finals a LSU win (which would be their 20th) wouldn't be a great win.
Outside of winning the tournament, the perfect scenario for LSU would be to beat State, then Tenn., then Florida/Arkansas and lose to UK/Auburn in the finals. A four game stretch of wins vs. State, Tenn, South Carolina, and loss to say, Bama, wouldn't be nearly as good.

do you really not know the answer to this? or are you looking for attention?

I know 20 isn't an automatic number, but the likely quality of our wins would get us in this year with 20.

No. Not happening. Let this go.

Referring to thyself in third person are we?

Yep, I've only posted this for 6 weeks now, and probably a dozen times, but I think I'm right on the 20 wins. I would love for us to get the 20 to find out if I'm right, though!

Not really....NIT is our best chance

From when this was initially posted we went from bubble team #8 to #6 for what it’s worth.

With the quality wins we have, we aren't as far away from an at large bid as you think.

Sports Illustrated thinks 3 wins in the SEC tourney makes us a lock. Says Wednesday is an elimination game against Miss St but our game is Thursday, so do they really know what they’re talking about? That win against Michigan looks a lot better.

Making the championship would probably get us in the last 4 in/last 4 out mix. Our pomeroy and kpi rankings are pretty good, even though our rpi is bad. Quadrant 1 wins are supposed to mean a lot this year.
