4 wins outside the top 50 is almost impossible for an at large. lsu has to KILL the sec schedule, get hot at the end and win at least a couple in the sec tourney to even think about having a shot. heck, this team is a bubble nit team right now.

BUMP. Wow and to think, it hasn't even been a month since my first post. And you people downvoted the crap out of it.

Because these Tards can have instant gratification every time LSU loses a game with them saying they're right. They'd rather be right than have LSU succeed. They know that it takes a whole season for patient and rational people to be "right".There's many points throughout the entire year for them to chime in and be "right", so they get there rocks off really quick with the losses. It's funny how when LSU goes on a nice run, most of them don't post on that board. Actually, it's not funny at all. It's just what they do.

bump? 
oh my gosh, like you think you were right all along.
today's rpi
espn - 118
real time - 126
ncaa - 162
and that's AFTER beating a slumping vandy and an inconsistent uk.
this team is utter crap right now and it will take a minor miracle to make the tourney. the whole "be patient" and "this team will jell" notion is so dumb because the team played so poorly that they dug a hole they might not be able to climb out of.
the problem that jones supporters aren't addressing is there might not be enough good teams left on lsu's schedule for lsu to beat in order to get the rpi up enough for an at large bid. in addition, lsu has to not lose to bad teams, win on the road and have all lsu opponents continue to play well. again, that's a minor miracle. this is the 3rd disappointing season in a row. jones sucks so far, he has always sucked and we never should have hired him. i hope that he somehow becomes a totally different coach and lsu starts winning but, nothing on his resume suggests he will ever win consistently, or maybe ever, in the tourney.

I don't think any LSU basketball fan isn't excited and encouraged by the last two games. That said, those 5 non-conf. losses against a weak non-conf. schedule aren't just going to go away. LSU failed to get a good win in Nov./Dec. and has left themselves little margin for error in Jan/Feb/March. This isn't a tournament team, yet.
Can they build on the success of this past week? They picked up two very good wins. A road win against a good, but certainly not great, Florida would be a nice win (especially considering that LSU is going to have zero wins away from home in non-conf. play). Later in the month they will get chances for HUGE wins @ A&M and against OU.
LSU blew their chance to be patient with poor play in Nov.Dec. They had to start getting it done immediately in January. So far, so good.

Actually, it's not funny at all. It's just what they do
BE PATIENT!

While I don't necessarily disagree, RPI is not the end all be all as far as tournament selection goes. @ Vandy and the win against UK will hold up as "good" wins in March. After that, there are still opportunities for LSU to build it's resume: A&M 2x, @ UK, @ South Carolina, Oklahoma.
LSU didn't have a particularly good RPI last year. In fact, they were one of the lowest RPI's teams to get an at-large bid into the tournament. Yet, they still made it fairly safely in as a 9 seed. The reason is that they beat other NCAAT teams (even with the bad losses)

quote:this is another point i have been making. lsu's disappointing season last year was salvaged because of 2 respectable ooc road wins. that is almost the only reason lsu got in to the tourney. guess what? WE DON'T HAVE THAT THIS YEAR.
LSU is going to have zero wins away from home in non-conf. play
so, someone explain how lsu makes the tourney. well, lsu has to crush the sec schedule and have a respectable sec tourney, perhaps even winning it.
lsu's ONLY saving grace is BEN SIMMONS for tv ratings. if lsu destroys the sec, the talk will be about lebron never getting a chance in the tourney. so we're riding ben's coattails, not johnny's coaching or lsu's stellar play.

quote:those 2 wins barely nudged lsu's rpi. unless those 2 teams get it together, i don't think they're going to count for as much as some people are making it out.
@ Vandy and the win against UK will hold up as "good" wins in March
quote:even if lsu wins ALL of those games, lsu can't afford any bad losses, has to win on the road, and has to hope that opponents continue to play well. it's a really, really bad situation right now even after this week.
A&M 2x, @ UK, @ South Carolina, Oklahoma

You do realize if the tournement started today we would be in the NIT? You can't wait half a season to get it together, there's a reason we schedule shitty teams to start the year. After these last 2 wins you guys swear we are ranked top 25. There's a long way to go before this team is off life support.

Boy you sound like a joy to watch games with. Please if you can answer this question TRUTHFULLY. True or False
Kentucky cuts LSUs lead to 4 with 13 minutes in the game, you were miserable saying how we're gonna lose and Jones cannot coach and that we suck again ?
Oh and go read the Kentucky forum and listen to their fans bitch and moan about the great Cal getting out coached by JJ
And how there great Cal should have won AT LEAST 3-4 with all the talent he SQUANDERED over the years to only have 1 to show for it

My point exactly.......... The only way for people like you to be right, is to have LSU fail and not come close to sniffing the tournament and for Jones to lose his job. If they do continue to turn it around, it'll make the start of the season a moot point and you'd be "wrong". People like you can't have that, thus you'd rather be right than wrong. The only way that happens is for your miserable little soul to keep hoping LSU doesn't turn it around. You go on ahead and keep hoping to be right. I'll continue to enjoy watching LSU sports for a break and because it's something I grew up with and enjoy. Your household must be a miserable place to be "if" there are any others in that home, which seems hard to believe. A little too close to home there?
