    "It's time to put it together because it's then and then it's the conference championships," Southeastern head coach Jake Narro said. "There is no more time to build. It's time. We're either going to be who we want to be or we're not."
   
    Southeastern is coming off a second-place finish at the LSU Tiger Classic on Tuesday with a 19-over-par 589. The Lions, who finished behind defending national champion LSU, had opened with a 1-over 289. Senior Lawrence Allan led Southeastern with a tie for fifth with a 2-over 146. Junior Paul Obermann had the low round of the tournament, a 3-under 69 in the first round.
   
    Allan and Obermann will be in the Lions' starting lineup this week along with junior James Anstiss, freshman William Meyers and junior Gustavo Leon. Anstiss continues to lead Southeastern with a 74.00 scoring average over 23 rounds. Obermann is next at 74.13 and is followed by Allan at 74.35.
