Just have to be one of the 5 SEC teams that get in

With the amount of decent mid majors this year I dont necessarily see 5 from the SE getting in. I think the selection committee will more likely still look at RPI, quality wins, bad losses, last 10, and where you finish in conference on 20% each basis.

If we can get our RPI down to the lower 50's or 40's I like our chances. We still need to finish in the top 4-5 in SEC. We need Marquette, Northwestern, and UVA to finish strong for sure.

I actually saw an article on ESPN saying if Northwestern can win 4 of their last 6 they are a shoe in... That would give us another win vs a tourney team. Marquette has looked solid. Rutgers blew the pooch in conference.

I'd love to see us play Vandy in the SEC tourney and beat them. I dont like our chances vs Kentucky or Florida, but I think we could beat Vandy and that would be a big win for us.
