Checking in on the SEC men’s basketball standings entering final week of the regular season
With two games to go in the men’s basketball regular season, LSU continues to impress down the stretch.
Winners of four of their last five, the Tigers sit at 8-8 in conference play after winning just two SEC games last season. While an NCAA Tournament bid is likely out of the question barring an impressive run in Nashville next week, an NIT bid is still very much in play, which would be a good sign of progress in Year 2 under Matt McMahon.
First, though, LSU has two more regular season games against Arkansas and Missouri. It will likely be favored against both and has a good chance of reaching the double-digit win threshold in conference play.
In the meantime, here’s how the standings look with two games to go.
