If we finish the season 20-9 and 11-7 in the SEC, going 11-3 our last 14, we will definitely be in contention for a last 4 in spot.



Sadly, I don't think that would be the case. We'd need to make a run (championship game) in the SEC tourney to even get a look from the committee. Those Auburn and USCe losses are haunting us.

I believe one win away from a NIT home game! Two for good measure. I would love to see us compete for a NIT championship.

It would have been the full John Brady 2nd half had we actually blown the 23 point lead and lost

If we stay out of the 8-9 game, and a quick matchup with Florida, we can make a run. I want Tennessee. No way they shoot 87% away from home.

No, we have no chance at the NCAAT short of winning the SECT. An 11-7 SEC team with a shite OOC is not getting in.

Winning on the road 2x will help boost our RPI. I think we would get to the 60s if we win out.


One of those wins would be against A&M who isn't in tourney contention. Our RPI is in the mid 90's it's not going up 30 spots from beating 3 unranked teams.

An 11-7 that finishes strong always has a chance in any big conf. I don't care what anyone says, that's bubble even if it burst

This team is completely different from both the one that went undefeated at the beginning of the season and winless at the start of SEC.

Well, then again their fight has been there the whole time. But fundamentally they are nearly day and night.

We would probably make it by winning out and losing in the tournament championship. That would be 23-10, and an RPI I would estimate of 50-55. Outside of that, no.

Definitely but the selection committee isn't looking at it like that.

i think if we win our last 3 and win 3 games in the tourny which would put us in the finals, we may get in. 15% chance NIT 85%.

If one of those wins were over Florida that would put us on the bubble but we still would probably get left out. Just not enough chances for quality wins in the SEC left(Only one top 40 RPI in the conference).

The SC, Georgia, and Auburn losses really haunt us now in regards of NCAA contention. If we couldve taken 2 of those we'd be in the current field of 68 I believe
