Entering conference tournament week, LSU retained its top spot in the Baseball America and D1 Baseball polls.
LSU won two-of-three games at South Carolina over the weekend to stay atop the rankings.
Baseball America had this to say about the Tigers.
“Jay Johnson’s club was well-rounded on both sides of the ball this season. Five different hitters drove in at least 40 runs and Anderson and Eyanson form one of the most formidable rotation duos in the country. LSU begins SEC Tournament play this Friday, where it will look to cement its top-eight national seed status.”
D1 Baseball included LSU as the seventh national seed in its postseason projections on Sunday afternoon.
