I actually think we'd have to win at least 12 and even then win at least 1 and probably 2 in the SEC tournament to even get on the bubble.

That's how low down bad the SEC is this year in basketball. Worst I can remember it since the early 70's.


Yea I don't think we would get into the tournament with 11 wins, but it would be close. To get to 11 wins we would have to beat some Alabama, Ole Miss, Mizzou types so its not like we would have a terrible resume. Those 3 losses are holding us back, but if we finish 3rd or 4th in the SEC (which 11 could do) I think we would be on the bubble.

Also if we somehow got to 11 or 12 wins they would notice how hot the team has to be to get there. I think that would give us some bonus points over some.

It would be a great problem to have

I do think that's being very optimistic (but not impossible!).
But can you imagine even having this discussion before the season started?
I had the team sitting close to the bottom of the SEC, if not AT the bottom.
I think the team has over-achieved, considering what they have to work with. I'm impressed.

Maybe SOS, but realistically I'm looking at the schedule and seeing 8-10 at and if we attain that I think that's in line with our talent in relation to the teams top-to-bottom in the SEC.

Anything better IMHO is gravy and I thnk an overachievement and I would be happy. Less and I'd be a bit disappointed and looking back at a couple of those early games we let slip.
