LSU baseball bounced back on Tuesday night, beating Southeastern Louisiana after being swept by Mississippi State over the weekend. The win won't do much for LSU's postseason hopes. The Tigers have been swept in three-straight SEC series and haven't won a conference game since April 5.
LSU's chances of making the NCAA Tournament are slim, but its still worth checking on LSU's RPI ranking ahead of the weekend series vs. South Carolina. RPI is a critical factor when the committee gets together to select the tournament field.
LSU currently ranks No. 61 in RPI, per D1Baseball. LSU's strength of schedule ranks No. 12 nationally, but the 25-21 record isn't enough. LSU is only 4-13 in quad one games. Making matters worse, LSU has five quad four losses.
All hope isn't lost, but the chances are getting slim. LSU hosts South Carolina in Baton Rouge this weekend, and it would be wise of the Tigers to sweep the Gamecocks.
After South Carolina, LSU will finish the regular season with tough conference series vs Georgia and Florida. LSU needs to win both of those series to remain in the tournament discussion.
