LSU/La Tech to Make NCAA Tournament?
Just a month away from March Madness and the NCAA basketball post-season. Several area teams have a chance to make it to the NCAA tournament.
Louisiana Tech (21-3, 12-0 WAC)
Louisiana Tech is undefeated in WAC play and can win out to gain the top seed in the WAC tournament. If Tech can get to 25 or 26 wins, an at-large bid could come their way with just a decent showing in their conference tournament.
Northwestern State (16-6, 10-2 Southland)
Northwestern State is unlikely to get an at-large bid out of the Southland Conference, but at 10-2 in league play they control their own destiny for the top seed and double-bye in the Southland tournament. Win that, and their in..!
LSU (13-8, 4-6 SEC)
LSU is a long-shot to make the tournament, if they can get hot and finish with an above .500 conference record and make a good showing in the SEC tournament they could possibly secure an at-large bid. Otherwise, their only way in, is to win the SEC tourney.
LSUS (18-4, 13-3 RRAC)
LSUS has a good shot at making the NAIA tournament, they are in the hunt for a Red River Athletic Conference regular season championship and currently would be the 2 seed in their league tournament.
