I've said before that we WANT to finish 8th or 9th in the SEC, because we want a shot at Auburn in the SEC Tournament.
I don't want to play Auburn. While an upset win over Auburn in the SEC Tournament would be huge for this team if we can in fact close out at 4-2, Auburn is an exceptional team and we didn't match up well with them at all when we played them. I'd love to see them draw Arkansas in the SECT. We match-up very well against them and that'd be another solid win and resume builder. Just my opinion, but Auburn very well might run us out of the gym. There's some other good teams in the field that I think we actually have a great shot to beat. Close out at 4-2 and we beat something like a Vandy and an Arkansas before losing a close game in the semifinals or something like that and then that's a pretty impressive way to close out the season.

I agree and I don't agree with Bayou that we can't get in the tournament at 9-9 with two tourney wins, his projection ranking of low 70's stops after the regular season and I think he's using a matrix that slightly undersells how far we can move up if certain things happen.
If we go 9-9 with a win over Missouri (Top 50 team) and win 2 games in the SEC tourney and one of them is against another top 50 that does not have to be Auburn (as there are several in the SEC), we would have a winning record overall in one of the nations top 3 conferences and 7 top-50 win. We are at the very least very much in the conversation if that happens.
I agree, I don't think we can beat Auburn, very bad matchup for us.
In fact I don't think we'll finish 4-2, more likely 3-3. But I do think 4-2 with 2 tourney win very much puts us in the conversation if the wins come against the right folks and also some of the top 50's we beat finish strong.
