Round 2, but if Lawson isn't anywhere near healthy, we could get to the Elite 8 before getting knocked out. We'll see though.

I know it's a major longshot, but I have us in the Final Four. If we can get past the first two rounds (big if), I think we can win the next two. I have Nova and Memphis playing in the championship, with Memphis winning the whole thing. My bracket will probably crash and burn, but I usually go more conservative and don't do too well anyway.

Saw this today:

Williams says Lawson's recovery is going slower than he had expected, though Lawson had said at the ACC tournament that he was feeling better after several days of rest.
Man, I would love to make it to Memphis.

Can't find the emoticon for prayer.

Odds aren't good. I picked Butler, but it hurt.

I'm still debating 1st/2nd, because I think Butler, in general, is better, but LSU seems to match up pretty well with them.

As much as I hate to pick against the Tigers, I will say the 2nd round! We had demonstrated all season that we struggle against teams with a big post presence. When you look at UNC, not only do they have one big guy in the middle, they have several forwards who can score the ball and run like cheetahs in transition with or without Lawson. If or shall I say when we beat Butler, we get one day rest, which will help, but UNC has much more depth and experience 1 - 10 than we do.

We have seen stranger things and I would be beyond ecstatic if we were to make it to the Sweet 16. That means our guys would have pulled off a herculean effort and imo be named the cinderella team of the tourney with the lack of respect that the SEC has received all year!

UNC wins it all, and the Tigers don't get the honor of playing them at all. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't see it.

Dont matter in our first 2 match ups. Butler has no inside game and Hansbrough is no where near as good as bigs we have already played. We play defense like we have been and make some shots LSU is easily in the Elite 8. Granted that is alot easier then said though.

2nd round if we are lucky...We need an inside game. Still, not a bad season, with low expectations, we played well.

Hammond that would be the Sweet 16 game not the Elite 8.

I have LSU going to the losing in the Elite 8 against the Zags. I think they will come back to form shooting the ball and upset NC.

Height 6 ft 9 in (2.06 m) 250 lbs - Hansbrough,

LSU will match up well with UNC if we make it to the Second round,


I say we make it to the Elite 8 and lose to OU. Griffin will be too much to stop.
