Sheep we're not making it in at 9-7 +2 tournament wins after losing to Mississippi State. That would be a solid NIT resume.


Depends on how the rest of the conference plays out, also.

If 9-7 gets you to 5th in the conference standings, and you're in the last four of the SEC tournament, it may not be an automatic in, but we'll be DAMN close.

At that point, it's going to depend on which mid-majors win their tournament, if anyone forces their way in like UConn 2011 or Georgia 2008, etc.

Either way, what I'm saying is that the season isn't "over", no matter what happens tomorrow. There's still plenty to play for.

I just struggle to see what joy people find in proclaiming "they're done!"

They were doing that after we lost to Arkansas on the road.

In mid-January.

Just like every other SEC team that's been there did.

If we lose tomorrow and finish off 9-7 the committee won't give us a second look for at-large with what our RPI will be and lack of quality wins. With 2 SECT wins that'd be only 1 more quality win, for a total of FOUR RPI Top 100 wins on the year. You really think 9-7 in the 5th best conference and 4 RPI Top 100 wins = tourney? Hell no.
