I'm still pretty nervous until we know how many bid stealers there are.

Michigan looks like a tourney team. Obviously we don't want them to make it, but they look worthy
not if the selection committee leans to the woke side
Yea, I know it's difficult when reality actually is real.
If we beat Florida, I think we are safe from the play-in even. I really think we have the wins to impress the committee. It is what we have historically lacked on the bubble. Lunardi is always going to favor bigger basketball names but he is keeping us in. He knows.
And the real bid stealers are not just in mid-major conferences. For example if a Vandy wins SEC or UNC wins the ACC etc. then that is what is going to hurt
I've come around to think that a Florida win on Thursday should put us in the play in at the worst, if we shocked Bama we're out of the play in. 46 in the NET is not a comfortable place to be but as long as we don't lose to Florida I think we'll be ok. Upsetting Bama would put me a lot more at ease, but I'm not overly optimistic. Saying that, Bama has really struggled down the stretch. Their last 3 wins have been by a combined 11 pts. The Brandon Miller stuff looks like it has definitely taken a toll on them.
Wisconsin with a narrow win over Minnesota. I was hoping they would lose and kill off their chances :(
Today's update on bracket matrix has us in on 65 of 70 brackets.
Liberty is now a potential (longshot) bid stealer. They lost the ASun Tournament, and their NET is better than ours.
I doubt they get it, but it's just another team in the mix.
0-3 in Q1 and 1-2 in Q2. They're NIT Bound. The only mid major teams we have to worry about will be Oral Roberts or FAU if they were to get upset. North Texas is probably another one that would cause some worry. And then there's the Mountain West, which we really need SDSU to win and the WCC which we need either St Marys or Gonzaga to win.
And of course Oral Roberts is down 1 at the half to a nobody.
