We need to win out. Winning out would put us at 11-7 with wins over A&M & TN. 23-8 overall. Win 1 in the SEC tourney & finish 24-9 I feel fairly confident we'd get in. Anything short of that in the regular season it's going to take a deep run in the SEC tourney.

Ark falling apart would hurt us too, right? That is one of our better wins

Maybe he means so we can take their tourney spot. Not sure though.

Our being "first four out" was one man's opinion. If the season ended yesterday, we weren't even on the bubble. Now we are further away after losing to Vandy. I hate it but it is what it is. The math is the problem....we don't have the number of quality wins we need, and we don't have enough opportunities for quality wins to overcome it. The few chances we had to get one, we pissed away.
I guess I could envision a scenario where we win out and play our way in with a couple of tourney wins, but if we can't beat Vandy, what should we expect against UT?

Tenn is an awful matchup for us. They shoot 3s great. Not sure we can handle Williams

We weren’t in most pundits 1st four out. Most had us at the tail end of the next four after that. We aren’t on the bubble now, and we basically have to win out to get back. That’s being realistic.

This is the kind of humor that constantly gets overlooked by this board!

Win next two and your back on bubble. Win the two after that and you?re in or right on cut line going to Lsu.

This may be a massively unpopular opinion, but I?d rather make the NIT this year. If we somehow make the NCAA we?ll go in as a 13 seed and get the shit kicked out of us in the first round. I?d rather be a 2 or 3 seed in the NIT and get a home game or two. Also give us a better chance to win a couple games going into the off season.

It’s not unpopular it’s ****ing stupid.
No one would rather make the NIT than the big dance.

I think we could make a little run if we slipped in as a 12 seed. I just don't see any dominant teams this year. This team, when playing well, is capable of beating a 5 and a 4 and get to the sweet 16. The harder part will be to slip in as a 12 seed though.

But only as an at-large, right? Getting in by winning the SECT doesn't count. At least that used to be the mantra. I realize a lot has changed.

Yea I wanna go to the tourney but I'm just gonna scored that at worst we are looking at nit and we could have a shot at winning the nit. Would be pretty cool to be the youngest team in basketball and then win the nit. Would make me very confident in next years team.

So you'd feel good about being crowned the 68th best team in the country?

Huge difference in winning the last game of the year for a trophy (even if it is for 68th) rather than going out quietly in the first round.
So yea I guess so
