This is unlikely, but not impossible. Hear me out.

LSU currently has a 21 RPI. We’ll finish the SEC Tourney around there, shouldn’t drop much even with a loss. LSU could host as a 2 seed in Baton Rouge.

The precedent? 2021. South Carolina was RPI 20 with a 16-14 SEC record. They were the 2 seed. Old Dominion was RPI 13 in CUSA(conference RPI 6).

Who could be our Old Dominion? UC-Santa Barbara, currently RPI 12 in the Big West(conference RPI 13)

The 3 game conference record difference is likely what dooms us, BUT, not impossible.

No. There is a 0.0% chance LSU hosts a regional

We have a 13-17 SEC record. I don’t think you know what precedent means

yeah there has to be some type of extenuating circumstances

see Indiana State special olympics last year for the Super. i think they are hosting the S.O. again super wknd, fwiw. maybe we'll be paired with em.

Has there ever been a 13-17 sec regular season team who went 5-0 in the sec tournament?

Did they host?

Hoover isn't the road. It's AB East.

in 2012 State went 16-14, won the SECT (altho they did have a loss in Hoover) and travelled to FSU as a 2 seed

There have been teams with better SEC records who have won the SECT and not hosted. Us being one of those teams
