#8 LSU vs. #9 Butler

[HOGSWEAT]

SEC Representing early, LSU is up 15-8... looking very dominant

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

LSU has a shot at knocking off NC if Lawson's injury affects him very much.

[HOGSWEAT]

I think so too

[blacksuit]

27-18 LSU

[HOGSWEAT]

Butler cut it to 7 at one point but no real threat so far.

I thought the same thing, but I picked UNC since i figured it was a safer bet.  Starting to wish I'd taken the chance on that game and gone with LSU.  They're ballin today.

HALFTIME

[Hot_Town_Hog]

Remember how bad the SEC is according to the experts in relation to the other Conferences.....

Picked UNC to make the FF, but they might want to pull for Butler to pull this one out. LSU is not a team they want to play, especially if Lawson is not 100%.

[Biggus Piggus]

GO BUTLER!  One-point game.

[The Hogfather]

SEC SUCKS!

[felixjonesfan]

Well I got that one wrong.

[The Hogfather]

Memphis is the best defensive team in the nation!  At least, that's what all the analysts told me all year.

[Hot_Town_Hog]

SEC will go 0-3....Wait, that was per all the experts as of yesterday.

Go SEC!!!!!!!

[Swine & Cheese Club]

SEC is sucking right now!!!

BTW, LSU got screwed on their seeding.

[WMHawgfan]

don't be too shocked to see the bullies whip the huskies later on today.

[Jim Harris]

They should put some guy in at the start of the game to stomp on his foot on the opening tip. That should do it.

[Hot_Town_Hog]

Bet the Coach will think about it....It would certainly be worth the technical....If LSU plays to their ability, this could be a dangerous game for UNC.

I say go for it....Might stomp both of them just to make sure.

I don't know which is worse, SEC Champion getting an 8 seed, or SEC Tourney champion (with a respectable W/L record) getting a 13 seed.  No respect.  I can't help but think of the "down" SEC years a couple of years ago when FL won back to back championships.  No matter how often the SEC proves people wrong, we continue to get no respect in bball.

Don't forget LSU made the Final Four as well when we were touted as being very down. That won't happen this year, but most seem to have short memories with how we get dissed in the National media regardless of how down the league is in BB. Maybe it is jealously because we dominate in football, who knows.
