NO matter what happens Sat/Sun in Greenville, LSU will be the #2 seed in UConn's regional in Fort Worth.

Why? There are 4 places a #2 seed can go...behind UConn, UCLA, Carolina, or Texas.

(a) Carolina and Texas are OUT as they do not want to put 2 teams from the same conference as #1 and #2 in the same regional.

(b) UCLA is OUT as we were in the same regional as UCLA for the past 2 years.

Even if we beat Carolina and Texas I still think we will be #2 behind UConn. We should NOT have lost those first two SEC games (UK and @Vandy) PLUS we do not have as many Q1 wins as Carolina and Texas to move ahead of either one.
smart move if you wanna get at least 7 innings in.

Sunday's game might not happen
Bigtime win. OU has a very good NET ranking.

Congrats to our Tigers.
I am MOST worried about how we field the damn ball. Our fielding percentage is among the bottom 3 in the SEC. We are simply terrible at times.
Beating UF does NOT help LSU out at all in terms of seeding in NCAA Ty.

Oklahoma is a much higher NET ranked team.

Winning the SEC Ty by beating Oklahoma-SCarolina-Texas/Vandy is the ONLY thing that MIGHT help LSU seeding-wise to get away from UConn. And even if we do that, we may still be a #2 seed in UConn's regional.

The problem with seeding this season is the NCAA does NOT want to seed SEC teams #1 and #2 in the same regional. And the SEC has too many top teams (Carolina, Texass, Vandy, LSU, Oklahoma, etc) to deal with.

So, the BR area is "Arkansas?" Or New Orleans?

Acadiana is PART of Louisiana just like Baton Rouge is.
My wife and I were on the other end sitting sandwiched between 8 Memphis State fans, 4 on row in front of us and 4 on row behind us. They talked back-and-forth over us at every timeout making their plans to go to ATL for the Regionals the next weekend. LOL. Didn't work out for them.
Vandy's overall record is now 7-6.
1. LSU does NOT play 4 games every weekend. Weekend1 YES. Weekend2..NO Weekend3..YES, Weekend4...NO.

2. Better to pack in extra games now than during SEC play midweeks.

NIL and revenue share are DIFFERENT things.

What we need to compare is ROSTER COST or what we are paying our roster.

I can guarantee you Arkansas does NOT give its baseball program $3 million in revenue share. That would be 15% of their revenue sharing total. Which Arkansas programs are NOT getting anything to facilitate that. They would HAVE to be taking money away from football and MBB.

LSU leads Dartmouth 4-2 in B8.
I would like to believe it but I just do not think LSU will promise enough roster money to get WW to return to BR.
I have been a MBB season ticket holder since 1976. THIS SEASON is the first time I cannot even go to the games. I haven't been to a game since the first half of the State game on Jan 28. Wont be there for the last two either.

But...hope springs eternal and we will be back in 26-27 even if LSU allows MM another season. Would really like Will Wade back but I just do not think WW would chose to come back here even though he has pals in our administration.
The reason we have trouble with Carolina and Texas is because those two teams play the most intense defense.

We ARE playing Tulane in a midweek game later in the season.

Dude is Big Poppa
Lawd, some OMiss fans/posters are still obsessed with Lane Kiffin. Get over it.
I am hoping Grace learned something from the situation and will play against both Tennessee and at State on Sunday.

Fielding LSU is #12 at .976 State is #1 at .986

HR's UGA/24, Vandy/22, LSU and OMiss tied for 3rd at 15 each.
Am an LSUWBB fan. Coach Yo is a very good head coach and her program deserves better than the fan support she gets.

Note: I think Coach Yo's husband is a pastor in Oxford so she might never leave there.

I had to laugh when I saw all the LSU fans with Lane Kiffin face fans at the game Thursday night.
