re: Watching that LSU Basketball RPI creep up like...

I think the fact that we are even talking about possibly making the tourney, and it's not some far fetched thing here, it's a real possibility, makes me feel very good about the future of Will Wade's LSU Basketball Program

Absolutely.

That site also says that if we win out, we'd have an RPI of 59.

KenPom’s projected SEC tourney bracket going into Saturday had Bama and UF as the 4th and 5th seed in the tourney, respectively, at 10-8. If we win out we’re 10-8 and getting anywhere from the 4-6 seed in the SEC tourney. Win a game and we’re in

Now you’re asking a pretty untalented team to win 6 straight, but these opponents are all beatable, and we have to want revenge against UGA. Just have to take them one at a time

Why do y’all put yourselves through this? LSU is not going to the big dance this year. Just stop with the nonsense

As we sit here today here is more or less your "bubble" (Note: this list is just from one bracketologist. Every one is different, but these teams are generally somewhere in the different groups)

Last Four Byes: Butler, Saint Mary’s, Kansas State, Texas

Last Four IN (at large): Washington, Baylor, St. Bonaventure, Syracuse

First Four OUT (at large): UCLA, LSU, Louisville, Marquette

Next four teams OUT (at large): USC, Utah, Georgia, Notre Dame


LSU got a big win vs. Mizzou to keep them in the conversation. But Texas, Baylor and St. Bonaventure had even bigger wins (@ OU, TTU, RI, respectively). Also, all the Pac 12 teams in contention won on Saturday as well.

The negative for LSU is their RPI is lower than everyone in that group. The upshot is that LSU has more top 50 wins than ANYONE on that list. In fact, LSU (currently) has more victories vs. the RPI top 25 than EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE COUNTRY. LSU's SOS (35) is competitive as well.

LSU's downfall right now is that their wins are either really, really good or relatively "bad". They just haven't been able to beat the teams ranked between 30-100. Luckily, these last two weeks give them 3-4 chances to do so.

The margin of error (before the SECT) is likely down to 1 game. 3-1 (in any combination) likely give LSU a strong resume relative to the other bubble teams. It also goes without saying that LSU needs Houston, Michigan, A&M, Arkansas, Mizzou. to finish the season red hot.

The good thing for us is St bonaventure plays a complete shite schedule the rest of the way, Kstate and texas have to play each other, and I think USC, Utah and ucla all have to battle each other.


We still have Georgia and MSU to compete with though.

MSU beating A&M today was not cool.

One more conference win to clinch LAST [NOT LAST]
