re: Field of 64?

I think LSU gets in. If you look at the teams from the SEC that have missed the tournament with a 15-15 record, all of them had RPIs in the upper 50s to low 60s. They’ll be sweating if they lose to State Tuesday for sure, but I do think they should be a lock if they beat State. That would be another RPI boost and just playing Florida in the next game should have their RPI comfortably in the 30s.

The team that will be interesting is A&M. Their RPI is in the teens but they have a 13-17 conference record. Same thing with Kentucky. Good RPI, 13-17 conference record.
