No doubt. Perspective matters.

It would have to be a really, really, really bad showing. #1 RPI team in the country on a neutral site. Hard to see this game hurting us.

Wrong. We are a lock. A loss to the number 1 team cannot hurt you on a neutral floor.

Commentators said after the game that the Florida win puts MSU in the NCAA Tournament. There is really no doubt at this point.

Florida isn't a bad team, pretty athletic and yes, I'm glad they're big man didn't play. When you get down to the end of the season, any win is big especially when we are playing for a tourney bid.

I think this team has over-achieved. I'm anxious to see how we play in the Big Dance.

We'll get in. Hopefully we can avoid the play-in at this point. Beat Bama and we'll be a 9 or 10.

No, 0% chance bama loss hurts us. Were either in or out as of right now. Nothing tomorrow changes whatever that is (were in)

We are in. And I think we are in the field of 64. We should be safe from the play in.

We were 11 seed heading into today. We should be in the 64 firmly now.

I don't think we overachieved. If we make 2 more threes per 10 shot, we would be a 4 seed or better in the NCAA tourney. WE just really need Davis, Shak, and DJ to start getting into a grove with open 3 pointers and we will be damn difficult to defeat. Right now, no one even guards us at the three point line, because we are the 320th worst 3 point shooting team in the nation.

Agreed that a loss tomorrow won't pull us out of it. The only question is whether the committee really views us as "in" right now. They probably so, but if they don't, we would probably be out with a loss tomorrow.

Since we came about as close to losing as possible today, we may not be a total lock right now.

Hopefully, we won't miss 18 out of 20 shots like we did today.

We absolutely overachieved. The fact that we will make the Tournament despite shooting that poorly is insane. No one picked us to make the Tournament preseason.

Exactly my point with how poorly we shoot outside. Jans has done as good of a job coaching this basketball team and season , can't think of anyone who has done as well in a loonnngggg time.
