I'd be so mad if I was LSU

I can't wait for @ChrisMWilliams to hunt ghosts.

We'll have to be the same first round session as Wisconsin game correct? Since winners face each other. That how that works?

Gonna be a tougher ticket

Anyone know which session?

Don’t think we will know until later? But curious as well…

LSU doesn’t scare anyone, not even a little. It’s all about which ISU team shows up.

True Story: LSU isn't even an accredited school.

Yep. Crazy it's a 6 vs 11, and I would guess LSU is favored by maybe 3?

More important than which ISU team shows up is which LSU team shows up. You have to imagine that team is a bit shell shocked.

Not crazy about this one. LSU has the 5th best defense based on Kenpom. That being said, they also don't have their coach anymore and there's likely a bunch of them who have plans to transfer out with the incoming sanctions likely happening. If they aren't mentally in it we have a shot

Just like Iowa St, I can see them going either way. Rally around each other and their interm coach, and play tough, or fold with such a roller coaster the last week or so.

I’m guessing they’ll make Wisconsin the primetime game. So I’m thinking we are either late afternoon or late night

Nor do they currently have a head coach or assistant head coach.

HILTON EAST BABY!!!

LSU has a great defense but defense is about discipline and they just lost the piece that was holding that together.

I mean, maybe we should be more nervous than we are, but those numbers you're throwing around - wasn't that when they weren't breaking in a new coaching staff?

 

[Iastfan112]

If LSU didn't just lose their coach I'd be terrified. Type of team that can completely stifle our offense, I shudder to think how many passes they could pick.

With the turmoil I feel a bit better.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Lowest scoring tournament game in shot-clock era is 75 (Wisconsin 43 Missouri State 32) in 1999 First Round. That is in serious jeopardy in our first round game. Will either team get to 40?

Depending on how it goes a team can rally and be 'up' for at least one game.

OR check out further and just be ready to be done with it.

History doesn't hold up well for ISU.

Glad they're there. Not looking forward to being around Bucky 'fans' all week, i.e. the ones that haven't watched all year and now just know 9 B1G teams are in there.
