We're not close to being in the NCAA tournament yet. Our NET is 79. If the season ended now, we are in the NIT. We have to win at least half of our remaining games, avoid bad losses, and hope that a few of the wins are "good ones" to increase our NET rating before the selection day. Time will tell.

Personally, I think we are a mid to high seeded NIT team rather than a low seeded NCAA team. I would give a 20% probability for a NCAA berth, 75% probability for a NIT berth, and 5% probability for no tournament berth (if injuries riddle the team).

I think we end up making the tourney. Miller might’ve got some confidence back after last night’s game which is massive.

We were ranked 26th in the AP poll and are the first team out on bracket matrix, so it may be closer than some think (or maybe that is what everyone thinks idk), a win at TAMU might get us ranked in the top 25 even with the loss to Kentucky

Absolutely a bad look, sucks but if we would have blown 3 of those non conference teams out we are probably sitting at high 50s and a 9/10 seed right now. But hopefully just winning and playing in the SEC can prop that number up a good bit.

Right now I think we are a tournament team, if this team is who they have been the last two games I see us getting in without much(still some) sweat. Like it was said these next two games will be crucial for the resume

And currently, 70 on KenPom. A&M is 75, LSU really needs to take care of business on Saturday in College Station. In fact, LSU can't really afford to lose to either A&M or Flordia b/c there is a brutal stretch after those two - #7 Bama, #22 Auburn, #8 Tenn, and then a payback game for #13 Arky.
