Do you think men's basketball team makes the tourney?

I get that we haven't lost in conference play so far but we are scraping by against not great teams. Also, the out of conference schedule is not particularly strong and we haven't got to the meat of the SEC yet.
If we end up, say 11-7 in the SEC, what do you think the odds to get to the dance are?

actually the out of conference is pretty good ... and Texas is up next.
this team makes the tourney and finished top 4 in the conference.
7 seed in the west

What are you talking about non cenference wasnt strong? A lot of those teams are NCAA tournament teams and we play Texas?

I think we finish no worse than 12-6 in conference play. Probably need to win a game in SEC Tourney just to be safe, but still believe we're in if we don't.

If we end up 11-7 we'll need to win at least one conference tourney game to be a sure bet to get in. I can see us losing 5 or 6 conference games. I don't think we lose 7.

Will Wade is very good at OOC scheduling.
For the sake of comparison:
LSU has more combined Quad 1 and Quad 2 wins than kentucky and has no loss below a quad 2 whereas UK has a quad 4 loss.

Not true at all.

Clueless. Hmm lets question the success of this team negatively, while theyre being successful.
Its fricking basketball. You dont win every game and you dont rout every team. Thats why your W/L record counts.
We’re top 25 in NET so far.

You can always tells who looks at a basketball schedule and judges the teams based off of football teams.

Cool and other top ranked teams are losing to them. So I'd rather win a close one than lose them.

Agreed, the SEC is not particularly strong this year, several good teams but no world beaters like Tennessee, Auburn or Kentucky
This is a top 4 SEC team, and if they start limiting turnovers better there's no reason why they can't fight for back to back SEC titles

Your picture flips me the bird, butttt, its not my fault he posted the OP which was obviously going to be downvoted relentlessly.

Yes

Most experts have us in the tourney right now so the answer is YES. We have an opportunity to get 2 quality wins, 15-4 record, and should be back in the Top 25 before the UF game. And we know what needs fixing...
Who would have predicted that we’d be 13-4 with a current (team) 3pt% ranked at #252 or ranked #29 in rebounding? This is the type of team which is fun to watch but difficult to predict. We’re dominating inside the paint with speed and hustle rather than size.
