LSU/UL NIT matchup

[VObserver]

Wow, who was the team and what was the outcome?

Clemson. We lost pretty badly. Wyoming was very close to LSU's RPI; that was a 9 point loss. Iowa is around 160. We won that one.

A team that is not afraid to play a team from Louisiana.

Let’s see, Didn’t LSU just come play UL in baseball at their house? That actually makes sense because UL is routinely ranked and LSU can benefit from the game. This is probably the first time in a while UL has finished top 100 in basketball. Why would LSU give up the gate at home to travel 57 miles to play a team that will probably have no positive effect on their RPI or post-season positioning? There is literally no upside. I guess LSU owes it to you? Should they come in football too?

Thanks. LSU has competed with and beaten some good teams at home. Should be a fun game to watch.

I said one of the best. Certainly 27 wins has to rank up there as one of the best?

Not even close

Have they beaten any good teams on the road, besides Michigan early in the year?

[zephyr]

Since RPI encompasses every tangible aspect of the W/L record, there should be no need for a seeding/invite committee.

It does not.

Hey little fella, what ID do you post on over at TD?

This year's team is not close to one of our best ever. Not even close. Its a solid team who is fun to watch with good chemistry and is certainly one of the most complete teams we've had in the last 15 years or so but this team isn't even as good as the Tiras Wade, Orien Greene and Dwayne Mitchell team in 05 I believe.

They also beat Ark and A&M on the road. Name me one better road victory put up by UL this year? Or any win for that matter?
