Let's say LSU finishes conference play at 13-3 and wins the SEC Tournament. What seed would you expect being that the conference as a whole is viewed as not very strong this year and we really don't have any high profile win's this year? A 6 seed sounds about right to me even though I have seen some so called experts as recently as yesterday say a 10 seed.
Re: Tournament Seeding. Way too much speculation to me. Basketball is a sport that I can just enjoy watching unfold since I really don't have any vested interest in how the team does on the national level. Don't get me wrong, I like to see LSU do well in everything, but I won't lose sleep over a loss like I would football, or a series loss in baseball. Perhaps that is unfair, but LSU basketball (while entertaining) is NOT in the same realm as baseball and football.
Re: Tournament Seeding. Now Jay you need to ask yourself is that because for the most part the basketball team isn't nationally relevant like the football and baseball programs or; is it because you aren't as passionate about basketball as you are football and baseball. If it is the former then you might have to start purchasing some LSU basketball apparel, because I think CTJ is going to make LSU basketball relevant again.
Re: Tournament Seeding. In that scenario anything lower than a 5-6 would be a travesty, which is currently about where Florida and Tennessee are sitting. LSU would likely be both the regular-season and tournament champions of a major conference, and if that isn't deserving of respect by the selection committee despite the early-season OOC losses, then I don't know what is.
Re: Tournament Seeding. My guess is 5 or 6. Going 8-2 the rest of the way and finishing 28-6 (using LP's scenario) would probably have LSU right at about 20th in the nation. The RPI will be still be lagging to some degree. Would be hard to get a 3 with the way we were not respected for much of the season and the fact it's a very down year in the SEC.
Re: Tournament Seeding. 13-3 means two losses late in the season and they arent really on the national radar now anyway. id say 5 seed. honestly i think 6 is the best seed anyway, sure 4 and 5 seeds play lower seeds in the first round, but they get the 1 seed next. 6 seed stays away from them as long as possible.
