Gonna be tough of course but it can be done.

13-9 (4-6)

@ Florida L

Ole Miss W

@ Alabama L

Missouri W

Vanderbilt W

@ Georgia W

@ South Carolina L

Mississippi State W

18-12 (9-9). Would be a hell of a first season for Will Wade.

Wouldn't be so sure of a Missouri win. Looked pretty good today beating Kentucky

I would love to see a good NIT run by the Tigers.

Lots of teams have beaten Kentucky. It's hard to play on the road.

I wasn't necessarily saying that it was because they beat Kentucky, I just thought Missouri has played well this season and looked good today

That would make us a bubble team going into the SEC Tournament.

Warren Nolan predicts LSU to finish 17-13 (8-10). They have LSU losing at Georgia. But they predict that to put LSU's RPI at 97. Not sure how they get to 97. If LSU finishes 18-12 their RPI would probably be somewhere in the 50s.

Our projected RPI would be 67, so no.

That would probably put as an 8 or 9 seed in the SEC tournament.

We'd still have to win 2-3 games in the SEC Tournament.

It would be about 84.

Depends on who LSU beats. Wouldn't surprise me if LSU beats Alabama and Florida but still finds a way to lose and end up 9-9.

Honestly, if we could find a way to be an 8 or 9 seed in the SEC Tournament, that would be perfect.

We WANT to play Auburn. We aren't gonna win 4 games in a row to win the tournament. We would need a neutral-court win against a top 5 RPI team to boost our RPI way up.

I'm kinda enjoying the 6-way clusterfrick of teams at 4-6 right now. All 6 teams are 2 games out of 3rd place and all 6 teams are 2 games out of last place.

I know some of you still feel that losing to SFA was a good loss, but them getting blown out by Lamar will hurt our numbers.
