Important notes from these series:

Florida evened up the series = not good for us but they play a really really important game tomorrow Root for Bulldogs.

Maryland & Xavier are out of RPI Contention

Texas state winning game 1 bumped Southern Miss down

Georgia, Kentucky, Tenn, Auburn all winning would be a huge thing for us, and so far everything that could possibly go right seems to be going right just need it to happen 1 more day.

SEC Standings

7th. South Carolina 13-17
8th- LSU 13-17
8th- Vanderbilt 13-17
8th- Florida 13-17
8th- Alabama 12-17


Let's win Tuesday and leave no doubt.

I remember when Jay said Texas state was a 35-40 win team after we beat them.

I was riding high.

I love Jay but safe to say we got that one wrong.

The first game to go LSU’s way as Xavier loses to Villanova who has an awful RPI.

How does Xavier losing help LSU? That’s not how it works. We want Xavier to win.

It’s kind of a 50/50 thing. Sure we’ve played Xavier 3 times and their RPI effects ours but I feel like the more teams that aren’t ahead of us in Metrics the better for us. Maybe I’m wrong.

For example. WarrenNolan bumped us to 34. We were 35. Xavier dropped to 39.

They are projected a three seed. Highly doubt they get knocked out by losing one game in a series. Especially with the other shitty teams on the bubble.

Of course it hurts both teams haha. Rather have Xavier sweep than win 2/3.

Yeah, no one wants LSU as its 2 or 3 seed. I kind of feel sorry for the team that gets that draw if it happens.
