LSU has been projected to be a 2-seed in March Madness for much of this season and over the last handful of weeks, the Tigers' fate has appeared to be locked into them being sent out West for the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight rounds of the tournament.
The latest bracketology from ESPN has LSU playing No. 15 Southeastern Louisiana as would host No. 7 Louisville and No. 10 Nebraska.
Projections suggest that even a win over Texas likely wouldn't change the Tigers' seeding in the NCAA Tournament. It's possible, albeit a small chance, that LSU could shift regions and end up landing in one of the Birmingham regions. This is due to NCAA Tournament seeding criteria that prevents teams from the same conference playing before the fourth round, LSU needs a lot more movement behind them in the seeding.
