Hopefully that translates into at least a #2 NIT seed.
I expect Tech to drop at least one seed line from RPI due to the combination of SOS, season finish, non-power conference.
It will be a travesty if Tech is on the 4 seed line or below.
For those looking, LSU is the 28th best eligible RPI not in the NCAA Tournament...that would be a #7 seed strictly on RPI. #7 LSU at #2 Tech maybe?
USM got left out??
And if you think LSU would agree to play in Ruston maybe you're thinking of a different LSU.
That's what I'm wondering. Do they have enough political sway to affect this? I know they'd bitch about it.
It might not even happen so lets not worry about it...oh wait this is BBB
They can turn it down like Rupp and Malone did a few years ago.
OR just not say anything and miss a bowl game??? We'll see.
