Why don't you spend a little more time time around here before appointing yourself the moral authority? My vocabulary is quite extensive and, frankly I could not come up with a euphemism sufficient to make my point. So, a$$hole it is.
Non-asshole pertaining post here... Apparently gumborue, gotskeeters and myself are the only ones that think LSU will still be in the NCAA tournament. Mindboggling... LSU's RPI is in the 30's and has a .500 record in the second best conference in the nation. That has got to be worth something. Everyone is harping on LSU as a team that is stumbling at the finish. That is true over the last 5 games but over the last 10 games, a stat the selection committee looks strongly at, LSU is 5-5. 5-5 is a respectable record for a tournament bound team in conference play. The main thing that could hurt LSU would be if the committee really emphasizes injuries in determining tournament entries. Clearly LSU is not the same team without Jaime Lloreda, but the season must be viewed as a complete body of work. The committee has done this in the past, dropping the seed of Cincinatti a few years back after the Kenyon Martin injury. This is the only thing that scares me as far as LSU not getting in the tourney... Finally, to those that say that LSU would be better off not playing the big boys in the NCAA tourney, that is hogwash. This is the same team that gave UK all it could handle one week ago. UK will likely be a top 3 seed in the tourney. I would welcome the chance for this team to get hot and make some noise in the tourney a la Auburn last year.
Also, LSU is considered a lock on ESPN.com by the way... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?page=bubblewatch
according to the analyst i just saw on tv, lsu is not on either bubble team having to win 1 or 2 games to get in......which means they most likely will get an invite......will see how they are seeded to get an idea how far they can go......a team that young with that much excitement......strange things can happen.....
I think they are probably in I just don't see them doing well. With the slump at the end of the season if they don't win some games in the SEC tourney they will probably draw a tough seed. Either way NCAA or NIT I'll be pulling for them and hoping for the best.:geaux: :lsug:
agreed......but, hey that's something to get fired up for......being the underdog can be fun.........i'm gonna be there for 'em.....
