Lunardi new update

[msstate7]

Read this on sps from MSUDC11,

?We went from being the fourth team out to the fifth team out. Obviously a big missed opportunity for us last night, but we are still very much on the bubble and can play our way in without winning the SEC tourney if we beat the right people.?

...

Pretty surprising to me. Guess we should pulling for LSU tonight at South Carolina to make LSU road win look better.

[Coach34]

I been trying to tell people. Beat LSU and win a game in the SEC Tourney- we got a shot

It's going to take more than just 1 unless we see Arizona and other FBI-investigated schools self-impose a ban.

We really need to play someone like mizzou 1st round and auburn 2nd round. Win 2 games like that and LSU, who knows?

We need to avoid an 8-9 seed and I can almost guarantee you that’s what we’re headed for if we make it.

I think we will get Florida on Friday. I think we wind up finishing fifth.

That will work. Obviously playing a tourney team first can lead to quick exit, but it can help us make it if we win

If we drew a 8 or 9 I would love to be paired with Kansas.

Couldn't hurt. According to BartTorvik, our RPI would be ~52 with a win over LSU, SECT wins over Missouri and Auburn, and a loss to Florida (just picked a plausible team there). That gets us into the conversation at least, but I suspect we're still out.

There's a common mantra that teams can't really play themselves into the NCAAT in their conference tournaments, unless they get the autobid, because the Committee already has their minds made up by Thursday. I've never really analyzed that idea, but we were all super disappointed back in 2010.

[Quaoarsking]

If we still get in somehow, we're going to be an 11 or 12 seed, nor an 8 or 9.

For reference, he estimates that we'd be at 41 if we also beat Florida and lose to Tennessee in the championship game, which should surely be enough unless the mantra is true. Winning the SECT would get our RPI to 33.

It really looked like we packed it in for the season last nite.

This is your take? Reallly? We haven’t packed it in.

[Coach34]

The thing is- I think we are last team in it or 1st or 2nd team out. I think Lunardi undervalues us a few spots

[msstate7]

Georgia may be about to knock us down a few spots. They win this and they have a chance to punch their ticket at tenn Saturday

[msstate7]

aTm win helps us imo

[Bulldog1]

Georgia just choked the game away.

[TALL DAWG]

The ONLY way we get in now is to win Saturday and win the SEC tourney.
Anything less and we are NIT bound.
The 2 really bad road loses at the Kamodes and at Sand Minnows really hurt.
It is what it is.

It really depends on who we play. If we get three Q1 wins and lose in the finals, we are in.

They aren’t beating Tennessee at Tennessee.

If it's true that we can get our RPI into the 30s with a win Saturday and 3-1 at the SECT, that ought to be enough, unless the Committee literally just doesn't care about conference tournaments.

[confucius say]

Hey Curmudgeon, can you do the tiebreaker if we win sat, Mizzou beats ark, and loser of ky/fla? That would put us, ark, Mizzou, and loser of ky/fla all at 10-8 and tied for fourth.

It can be something less... do not need to beat lsu if we win sec tourney

[Coach34]

beat LSU and win 2 in the SEC Tourney and we make the NCAA's- no doubt

The SEC is a top 3 RPI league

[Dawg61]

No way we get in as an 8 or 9 seed unless we beat LSU and win SECT. If we beat LSU and win 3 in SECT we could sneak in the first four games or be an 11/12 seed. Definitely would have a chance of an upset as a 11/12 seed. Then if we do win that game we could get real lucky and face a cinderella type upset team in 2nd round. Definitely putting cart before horse here but I just want a seat at the dance.

NOPE. We don't HAVE to win @ LSU .. IF we win the SECT.

[Cooterpoot]

Y?all are like some love sick guy that just can?t let go. We aren?t getting in without winning the tournament and that ain?t happening.

When are you planning on fixing the question mark glitch on your phone? Been 4 months now

I think he meant an 8 or 9 seed in the SECT...not the NCAAT.

I wish I knew a way to do it. I have completely dropped using apostrophes.

[Bulldog1]

Me too. If I type it manually, it doesn't do the question mark. But if I let it autocorrect, it puts a question mark.

Yea me too. Even got a new X with latest updates. Still won?t fix anything.

I don't have mine in mobile view on my iPhone and I don't have the same issues with this glitch, maybe that's it

I’m checking it now.

Alright so we have identified the issue. You can't be in mobile view when on your iPhone or you get question marks where apostrophe's are supposed to be.

[Coach34]

you miss so much of the site when you go thru mobile view

[Bulldog1]

I'm on full site on my phone and it still does question marks sometimes
Edit- see right here, it used an apastrophe.

Hello, Reggie Perry.

I realize there is always a tendency to look ahead to next year, and you never know what will happen, but even if we have a couple transfers (Wright is probably the most likely), things look potentially very, very good for next year:

Nick Weatherspoon
Lamar Peters / Tyson Carter / DJ Stewart
Q Weatherspoon / Robert Woodard
Aric Holman / Reggie Perry
Abdul Ado / Tsishumpa / Datcher

That is a clear NCAA Tourney team, possibly even a top 4-5 seed.

Howland needs to schedule us like a 4-5 seed. Had he scheduled us like a 12 seed we'd be in this year's tournament for sure.

[curmudgeon]

Current = 68

win over LSU = +5 spots to 63 (secures No. 6 seed in SEC Tournament)

win over SEC Tournament 2nd Round vs. 11 seed South Carolina = +3 spots to 60
win over SEC Tournament Quarterfinal vs. 3 seed Florida = +10 spots to 50


win over SEC Tournament Semifinal vs. 2 seed Tennessee = +12 spots to 38
loss to Tennessee in semifinal = minus 8 spots to 58
loss to Auburn in final = minus 7 spits to 45

I think we have to beat LSU and make the championship game to feel safe. There's at least a shot if we lose to Tennessee in the semifinal.

[drunkernhelldawg]

What a treat for the subject to even be on the board.

Thanks Coach Howland!

I don’t want to play USCe again.. and would love to play Auburn again.

Agree on both points. aTm would be good to play in the quarterfinals or somewhere.

He might not have had much choice. Could be the "good" teams we should have played didn't want to play us because we were supposed to be so crappy and it would hurt their RPI. You just never know. It'll be interesting to see how he schedules this fall.

I expect Schaefer might pick up a bit too.

I'd like to avoid Tennessee and Kentucky. Wouldn't mind some revenge on Missouri.

[Coach34]

I dont think we can beat Kentucky, Tenn, or Auburn. Everybody else is up for grabs. We got to win Saturday and see what happens next. If we dont- let's enjoy some NIT action

[confucius say]

If we play USCe or especially TN again, run. Get up and down. We are more athletic and longer. They both want to drag you in the deep end and fight. Run run run. Extend carter, x, and Elis minutes if you have to. Run those country strong bastards to death.

[klong-dog]

We can beat Auburn. They are not deep and are undersized. Not near as physical as Tenn. They live by the 3 ball. We can play with them.

[confucius say]

This idea that we can?t play with tenn is false. Y?all realize they shot 68% in the second half and we shot 28%. I mean holy crap, on both.

Our plan second time around would be much better.

Only way we can play with Tenn is if we get Schofield and Williams out of the game in foul trouble. Tennessee killed us at the free throw line too.

Meh, I agree I would attack them offensively to get in foul trouble, but they had a career night offensively. A lot of those shots rim out normally. I mean Bama beat them by 28 two weeks ago. They ain?t golden state.

[TALL DAWG]

NOPE. We don't HAVE to win @ LSU .. IF we win the SECT.

I like ur thinking but if we don't win SATURDAY I do not see anyway we win the tourney. Let me know the name of the sauce u are into as I'd like a double shot.! Hail State!
