Just goes to show that we will be out of the polls following our first loss, and probably won't make it back unless the team wins 10-12 games in a row at least. That's OK though. We are still in very good shape to compete favorably in the SoCon and potentially position ourselves as an at-large contender.DungeonRealm wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 12:39 pmFU comes in at #24 in this weeks AP Top 25 Poll

So Villanova is finally below us, however Houston and Indiana jumped us
We gained in total points from 189 to 208
I presume like many schools, most of LSU's student body will be elsewhere this time of year.cavedweller2 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 7:31 pmSounds Familiar. First post I read. Copied and pasted.
"For years, one of the biggest excuses for poor attendance at the non-conference basketball games by students and the general public was because the opponent was always bad. People bitched and moaned asking why we can't play ranked non-conference opponents at home. You finally go your wish. And this is a huge game for both teams, not just LSU.
Students, in the baton rouge area especially, its time to show up or shut up. If there aren't more than the usual 25 students in the student section LSU shouldn't even bother giving yall free admission anymore."

If that scenario plays out, I think Furman would be 31-4. If they keep out a team with that record, then I'm not sure what to say.CharlieFU wrote: ↑Tue Dec 18, 2018 11:46 amSadly, even if we beat LSU, I think we do not win at large bid, unless MAYBE we go 16-2 in the SoCon, and make it to finals of SoCon tourney. Too early to talk about this.
It would be great if we could win socon regular season championship, which guarantees an NIT bid.
Just keep winning!
