Is there hope for my law school chances?

Hi everyone,
I just finished my sophomore year of college, and I have a 3.51 GPA. I'm hoping to graduate with around a 3.6 or maybe close to a 3.7 if I do very well.
Because my GPA isn't stellar, I know I need to do quite well on the LSAT, probably a 168 or better I'm guessing to have a chance to crack the top 14.
I just took my first LSAT ever, I am familiar with the test and have looked over some sections, but I haven't done any studying at all.
I scored a 155 all set and done. I got -3 and -5 in both LR sections, I got -5 in RC, and -20 in logic games.
Honestly, for the logic games, I made it through the first game and got it right, but the others I had no idea what to do on so I just gave up and assumed I would get all of them wrong. I have heard that this is the most learnable section on the test, but is it reasonable to expect myself to go from getting -19 to -0-2 even with a lot of preparation?
With a diagnostic like mine, is there hope to score a 168 or above, or maybe even a 170?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
