re: Coaches don’t care about the SEC Tourney

That was one of the bright spots while Manieri was coaching. You could almost guarantee seeing the tigers play 4 games and making it to championship game.

A case can be made that Coach Manieri placed far too much emphasis on winning the SEC Tournament and that IMO goes a long way toward explaining why the team on his watch was never at its best in Omaha. Why not use the extra time away from baseball games to drill the team into improving at whatever weaknesses in their game are holding them back? Whoever wins this year's SEC tourney will probably enter the next round with a sore-armed bullpen and some extra unhelpful bumps and bruises to carry forward. My guess is that while some of the LSU players are using this time to brush up on their fielding most are fine-tuning their hitting skills before the tournament that really matters.
