The LSU Tigers are firmly in contention for an at large bid to the NCAA Baseball Tournament, but there are still some doubts as to whether or not they will get in if they lose to Georgia. Today, D1 Baseball released their tournament projections before the start of conference tournaments:
The people at D1 Baseball currently have the LSU Tigers as a No. 3 seed in the Stillwater regional, hosted by projected 16-seed Oklahoma State. Other teams in this bracket include Dallas Baptist (2) and Lamar (4). If they were to win, they would face the winner of the Lexington Regional, consisting of Kentucky (No. 1 overall seed), Illinois (2), Coastal Carolina (3) and Sacred Heart (4).
This would probably be one of the best outcomes the Tigers could think of. Going to the lowest seeded host in the first round gives them a decent shot at getting out (thought DBU is no slouch), but they would then likely have to go to Kentucky for the Supers, which is a pretty tough draw.
What would you think if this were the Tigers draw?
