Projection: likely out

LSU's resume is concerning due to a lack of quality wins and a string of losses against ranked opponents that hurt their standing. Their victory over Kansas State was a positive highlight, but that is overshadowed by losses to teams like Auburn, Texas, and Alabama, where they struggled defensively and failed to capitalize on opportunities. The inability to secure wins in close matchups, such as the narrow defeat to Mississippi, compounds the issue. With tough games remaining, including against teams like Tennessee and Alabama, they must secure wins to bolster their tournament hopes. Without significant improvement, especially on the defensive end, making the NCAA Tournament will be a steep uphill battle.
