Obviously with the difficult schedule down the stretch and the fact we are in the conversation now for making the NCAA Tournament, us getting our record to the required .500 spot has been a topic of conversation.
The math says 5 more regular season wins guarantees us a .500 record even with a 2 and through in the SEC Tournament.
With an RPI that should be under 40 after this win is counted and a SOS that will be Top 10 by the end of the year, we have the resume to be in. Just have to go out and win games. But we've got to win 5 in the regular season to guarantee it. Good thing is that if we get those 5 wins, 2 of those would be again high quality opponents (Bama is at RPI 66, but with a sweep of them, 2 more wins would come against either TAMU RPI #12, UF RPI #1, UK RPI #17, or Troy RPI #36).
So all that to say we have to get 5 more wins to for sure guarantee us to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. I think we do it and if we find a way to get 7-9 wins between now and the end of the season, I think we could make a case for us being a #2 seed, which would far exceed my expectations preseason.
