    Sunday's games listed

    1. UConn
    2. Memphis
    3. North Carolina
    4. Pittsburgh
    5. Oklahoma
    6. Duke
    7. Louisville vs. #13 Marquette
    8. Michigan State @ #18 Illinois
    9. Missouri @ #10 Kansas
    10. Kansas vs #9 Missouri
    11. Wake Forest
    12. Marquette @ #7 Louisville
    13. Gonzaga
    14. LSU
    15. Villanova
    16. Washington
    17. UCLA
    18. Illinois
    19. Washington
    20. Xavier

    Louisville beating Marquette, Illinois beating Michigan State, and Kansas losing could propel LSU to #11. Not sure if we pass Mizzou, should they lose. LSU possibly could leapfrog Gonzaga, as we were just 18 points behind.

    Worst case 14. Best case 10 (although that's a stretch).

    Voters are certainly starting to warm up to these cardiac kids, and I think that trend will continue.

    Talk of a 6 or 7 seed has gone completely out the window. We are now a legit contender for a 3 or 4 seed.

    Going into the SEC tourney, we could be sitting in the top 10 for sure. We will be favored in each of the last 2 SEC games.

    We would need to get to the SEC CG and then possibly could afford to lose a close game there and still not be hurt much and end up with a 3 or 4 seed.

    Look for LSU's RPI to be in the low 20s (between 20-23). It's slowly catching up to our actual ranking.

    I'll say it one more time. 26-5 record at worst, win the SEC CG, make it to the Sweet 16. Possible COY for CTJ. 3-4 seed, a top 15 finish (new).

    Side note: We may finish 27-4. Dang we are just that good. GEAUX TIGERS

    You'd think that ought to help us recruit a big center.

    islstl, whatever you say brother about the projected rankings. I'll believe you. Most of us on this board have since you predicted the first football NC.

    My projection for tomorrow:

    1. UConn
    2. Memphis
    3. North Carolina
    4. Pittsburgh
    5. Oklahoma
    6. Louisville
    7. Duke
    8. Michigan State
    9. Kansas
    10. Wake Forest
    11. Gonzaga
    12. LSU
    13. Missouri
    14. Villanova
    15. Marquette
    16. Washington
    17. UCLA
    18. Washington
    19. Xavier
    20. Butler
    21. Illinois
    22. Purdue
    23. Clemson
    24. Utah
    25. Florida State

    LSU's RPI shot up from 33 to 23.

    LSU best case 11 (we may leapfrog Gonzaga). Worst case 13 (Mizzou might drop to only 12) .
