RPI now 38

Actually moved ahead of South Carolina with the win

We're in...can we steal a host spot is the question.

We would have to win the tourney to have even a shot at hosting

Win tourney, get host spot ?

even then it would be a reach

probably would have to beat Arky, Florida, & Ole Miss the rest of tournament to even get a sniff

but I find it hard they leave behind an SEC team with 17 wins.

NOT 17 wins. How do some of you keep confusing this?

They are 15-15 in conference play. That’s 15 wins. They are now 2-1, with a chance of ending 2-2 or 3-2 or even 4-2 in the SEC tournament.

Tournament wins do not get added to conference record. Had they won 17 games in conference and been 17-13, then there would have been no question they are in NCAA tourney.

Even at 15-15 with 2 SEC tournament wins though, I still believe they are in.

Last night on the "SEC Now" segment after our game they said this is the first year that the selection committee will add conference tournament records to regular season conference records to arrive at total conference records. That was the first I'd heard that but I can only assume they knew what they were talking about.

They've mentioned it before. The committee absolutely looks at the SEC record including the tournament. So they are all taken into account.

someone posted on here something the committee used and they counted SECt wins.
