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.

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

WTF?

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


Were we a 3 or 4 seed the last time we made the tournament? ...literally right after the “scandal” broke?

The LSU fan motto really is “They’re out to get us.”

Did we get screwed in 06? 19?

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.

Except for beating Arkansas 2 out of 3 and Tennessee. The committee loves those teams.

More deserving than Clemson and Florida of being a 7 by pretty much all metrics.

I stated I may not like announcers because they are horrible, but don't care if they're biased against us because that doesn't matter.

I have also said I rarely, IF EVER, claim the refs are biased against us. I just think it's next to impossible to find enough competent officials, especially in basketball, so there are a lot of poor ones. Basketball also seems to have quite a few freddy valentine "hey!!! look at me types".

HOWEVER I am POSITIVE the NCAA has been screwing us regularly in tournament seeding. You mentioned our 3 seed against Yale being legitimate, and I agree. Now here are three where we got ABSOLUTELY fLucked:

1) 2009 against unc when we won the SEC and also were the only team that put a scare into them when they won the title.

2) The year Shaq fought Carlos groves (Tennessee). I believe it was 1992. We were under seeded by at least two in that tournament.

3) THIS MOTHERFLUCKING YEAR.

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.
