Win 2 games in the SEC tourney and we have a 4 locked up. No worse than a 5 even if we lose the first or second game

Not bad considering our last month

We comin

I don't think seeding particularly matters in the NIT, but it's great you're getting excited about your postseason.

You guys are a 7 seed. The selection committee doesn't care about conference tournaments unless a team that wasn't in the field wins obviously. How'd last year's 8 seed go? You guys were on here claiming a 5 seed after making it to the $EC championship game.

The selection peeps already came out and said the NET won't play a factor in seeding, they realize it's flawed and easily gamed.

Looks like a 7 or 8 seed. Low probability for a 4 seed.

LSU is tied for eighth in the SEC without a signature OOC win. I have trouble seeing a 4 seed for some reason. But hopes springs eternal…

I don’t think LSU is getting a 4 seed, MAYBE a 5 if we make a deep run in the conference tourney. Like 125 out of 128 bracket matrix sites have us at a 6 or 7. That seems about right.

only way LSU gets a 4 seed is if they win the tourney and get some help

Why would a middle of the road SEC team get a 4 seed?

The conference tourney usually only allows you to move up 3-4 spots by winning. Losing in the tourney doesn't move you down as much...maybe 1-2 spots

Spots not seeds.

Win the tourney and if you are the last 6 seed you can move to the 1st 6 seed. If you are the first 6 seed you can move to a middle 5 seed.

I was going to argue against this, but it does depend on the criteria they use to seed.

Someone posted the Ken Pom lines for the SEC tournament, and LSU and Arkansas are basically equal. LSU is way ahead of Alabama. Surprised me, but then I don't understand a lot of these measures, so I'm not sure how they work.

LSU could win the tournament and wouldn’t be a 4 seed

Congrats on your 9-9 finish. Pretty good considering LSU fans said nobody wanted to play them during non conference play

LSU could win every game in the conference tourney by 20 and be a 5 seed.

We will be a six seed. The tournament is not going to affect that one way or the other.
