Re: College Basketball Top 20 (LSU projects between 11 and 14) All hail islstl! You nailed it! :thumb:
anyone remember how highly ranked the 06 or 00 teams were? (im not talking about after the tourney). i cant remember being top ten since shaq.
I can't imagine we'd crack the top 10 unless we won the SEC tourny and possibly win out before the NCAAs. Probably won't happen next week even with wins over Vandy and Auburn.
we've jumped all the good teams from weak conferences and teams with much worse records. all thats left are bball powerhouses. maybe if WF and KU lose two games. MAYBE. WF has beaten UNC, Duke and Clemson.
As of this time in 2006, LSU was ranked #21 in ESPN/USA Today and AP, and never rose above #18 in either before the tournament. This time in 2000, LSU was ranked #12 in the AP and ranked #10 the following week.
LSU #12 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/basketball/ncaa/03/02/uconn.ap/index.html?eref=si_topstories Edit: Germans. This is easily a Sweet 16 team....possibly an Elite 8 and with alot of luck a Final Four.
