Hamilton blocks the shot, LSU ball with 10 seconds left. Timeout to hopefully set up a game winning basket
72-66 is likely going to be the final Edit: or we;ll get a nice 3 to make it 74-69, but too little too late
bye bye NCAAT maybe, but not NIT per statsheet.com, LSU's RPI was 61 today (NCAAT bubble team), Tennessee was 89 (NIT bubble team)
If we couldn't hang on to an 11-pt halftime lead at home against a 16-13 team, we ain't ready for the postseason. Our SEC resume is....what, exactly? A home win against a Bama team without 4 of its starters? A State team circling the drain? We're gonna need a fairly impressive SECT run to have a shot.
remember we beat Marquette, and they are 24-6, #2 in Big East, and ranked #7 in nation in last poll RPIforecast.com projects us to have a 74 RPI if we go 18-12 and an 86 RPI if we finish 17-13 teams that got into NIT last year included Nebraska with an 89 RPI, Northwestern with an 87 RPI, Ole Miss with an 83 RPI, Washington State with a 82 RPI, Alabama with an 80 RPI, Cal with a 76 RPI, Miami with a 73 RPI
