re: What does LSU need to do henceforth to guarantee a tourney bid?

This team will get up for the big games. We've got 5 games remaining against ranked opponents I believe. I wouldn't be surprised if we won 4 of those.

It's the away games against unranked teams that scare me the most. Hard for these young talented players to play those lesser games with the fight that they showed last night. You win those games with stellar coaching. The rest of this season in on Coach Jones.

I think we lose 3-4 more games but add some more quality wins to the resume and roll into the tourney as a 6 seed.
