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.

Didn’t bother Vandy in 2019 when they won the tournament and National Championship. They have a great coach who knows how to peak his team at the right time.

And they didn’t win the SEC tournament the other times they won the CWS nor did any of the other SEC teams that won the CWS apart from LSU.

I hope it does bump up Vandy seeding. Reward the dudes who wanna win and are trying to win.

I know. Imagine a team with talented 20-21 star baseball players trying to win a tournament? Amazing, isn't it?

Nobody has won the SEC more than LSU and a great majority of those were with Bertman. I think he did pretty good in Omaha wouldn't you say?

Yes, Coach Bertman did much better in Omaha than he did at the SEC Tourney. Could it be that he placed less importance on the SEC Tourney Chip than on getting his team ready for the road to Omaha?
