On ESPN, we are now #97. Kentucky is #4, so we'll get a boost Tuesday night. Tennessee is #60 and on the road... this is a big game for us.

I really like the layout of the ESPN page. It's a good way to see who to pull for in order to help us out.

I didn't watch their game yesterday, but UT looked awful against SCAR the other day. Hopefully we can get two wins off of them.

Tenn shot lights out last night at vandy. Hopefully they cool off

TN isn't that good. We need that game desperately though. Hope our guys go into it ready.

We're still in 'possibly NIT, NCAA if by miracle' territory. Beat UK and that changes in a heartbeat.

Don't even have to beat Kentucky if we play well vs the rest. We have 9 games left vs the present top 60 rpi. That's a lot of opportunity

Yeah, but with our OOC resume and without a win over Kentucky, we would likely have to finish top 35 in the RPI to get in, and that would be extremely difficult to do from where we are now.

NCAA? I'm still thinking NIT for the moment

Yeah, sorry, I meant that if we beat Kentucky, the NCAA suddenly becomes a possibility. The NIT is clearly in view right now.

We almost have to win out to get a shot at the NCAAs. Only 3 teams in the SEC are likely NCAA teams. The league is terrible.

If we can get to 10-8 in the SEC- that puts us at 19-11 heading into the SEC Tourney. I think 20 wins gets us in the NIT.

We're done with aTm and Arkansas with wins over both. We really need them to play well from here out.

I'm just thankful that we are even talking about the possibility.

Thought we played west teams twice. That change when aggies and mizzou joined?

Maybe when they ended divisions... not sure

There are no divisions now. There are no requirements to play a "West" team twice now.

That's right. Here's my sign.

I just want us to continue to improve and to continue to gel with the starting five we are using now. That will be the starting five for next year as well. I think we make the NIT if we continue to improve the way we have which would be a big accomplishment for this team and if we get hot come SEC tournament time we have a decent chance to win that and get the auto bid.
