The fact that we are even having this conversation of being a 2, 3, or even 4 seed is astonishing. Its nice having another sport to watch come post season time.

Lunardi is a joke. He hasn't moved that LSU-Hofstra matchup in at least the last three Bracketology updates. He's lazy.

PRIMO30•75 months

He’s got a hard on for Duke and any team in Michigan

atltiger6487•75 months

none of this matters. Just wait for the Selection Committee's seedings - then we'll all know.

lsuohiofan•75 months

A 4 seed bullcrap. THe SEC schedule and we beat Kentucky at Ky and Tenn at home. bullcrap!

atltiger6487•75 months

yes, but we also don't have a quality OOC win, lost to all the good OOC teams we played, have a BAD OOC loss to Okie State, and lost at home to Arky and Florida. It's been a great year, but the committee takes it all into consideration.

Everyone hates LSU except for LSU fans and people that like LSU

beantown•75 months

We're better as the underdogs anyway. Let them hate.

PsychTiger•75 months

A lot of LSU fans hate LSU too, at least on here. lol

ESPN is just trolling at this point

A Menace to Sobriety•75 months

Typical of ESPN having us as a fricking 4 seed. ESPN is literally fricking trash.

RightWingTiger•75 months

Only way they can seriously have LSU at a 4 is if this is projecting the last 2 Reg Season games and the SEC Tourney. Even if that's the case I'd have to think LSU has locked up at minimum a #3 seed right? Unless they lose out.

How sweet it is to be back in the big dance…

voodooidotwo•75 months

Win the last two and on in the SEC tourney and we are a #2 seed. Lose one of those and there is no telling what these people will do. We beat UK on their own court, have the same record but are ranked 5 spots lower. We beat UT without 2 top 5 guard in the NCAA and we are 6 spots below them.

I actually believe that ESPN and some others who work for them post this stuff and then run over to TDs to see all the reactions and fuss to get laughs, I honestly do. Nothing else makes much sense. Well of course that they are incompetent but even incompetent people get it right sometimes? They truly never do when it comes to LSU. At that point ESPN is our enemy.

atltiger6487•75 months

you think ESPN gives a shite about this board? Man, you're giving us WAAAAYYY too much credit.

alumni95•75 months

At Net 13, it’s not far-fetched that we could be seen as #4. Take off the tin foil hat bro

lsutigersFTW•75 months

Lipscomb is annujser waiting to happen for whoever faces them

lsutigersFTW•75 months

Upset

CanebreakCajun•75 months

Screw you ESPN and all those who give birth to you!

Genestealer55•75 months

So they have us either traveling all the way to Anaheim or DC? That’s the closest they can find?

LSUJuice•75 months

KC and Louisville aren't exactly next door either.

LSU$$$•75 months

NB4 ESPN hates LSU

PRIMO30•75 months

I’d rather be unappreciated and and a afterthought

pellietigersaint•75 months

Dont worry, you are

Shiftyplus1•75 months

Do you not know how tournaments work? Being poorly seeded makes it harder. It wouldn't be LSU coming in under the radar. It would just be LSU at a disadvantage.
