If we beat vandy and uga and split mizzou/state we should at least be an NIT lock.


Aren't we an NIT lock already without losing out the remainder of our schedule, which is highly unlikely? We're inconsistent, but I don't see any scenario where we're not playing in the NIT at least.

Probably need to win 2-3 more to be sure.

No scenario? If we lose the rest of our games or even win one we would have a losing record. Not only would we not play in the NIT we wouldn’t even be eligible.

And having a winning record far from guarantees an NIT bid. There is the misconception that if you are not terrible you make the NIT. In reality the NIT is mostly filled with mid major and small conference teams that won their conference (but not tourney) and bubble teams left out of the NCAA tourney.

3 more wins should be sufficient for the NIT
