Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4536366, member: 12088"] If you're saying resumé [B]does[/B] matter, I probably disagree. I think it matters only in the sense of trying to forecast before the end of the season how someone might do later. But once it's [B]later[/B], what you're capable of in March has to outweigh whatever your resumé might say. In other words, LSU played a weak schedule and were overrated for most of the season. But if they really come on over the next few weeks, maybe by winning the SEC tournament -- you know, demonstrate how they've come together as a team -- then they deserve a good seeding. If a team played the toughest schedule in the land and fall apart in February, by contrast, they may not deserve a good seeding. Was the point of playing a tough OOC schedule merely to burnish a resumé, or was it to develop the team? If the former, it should be clear by now how irrelevant this is. But if your point is merely that LSU is not likely to show us anything special before March -- if you're merely making a prediction -- then I probably agree with you. I think they are not likely to play any better than they have in the last few weeks. [/QUOTE]
