Tonight isn't an absolute must-win because I don't think we have to win out to make it in. But it's pretty close. 3-0 to finish and we should make it; 2-1 and we'll be right on the bubble but very possibly in. 1-2 and we are probably out.

There's always the chance of a deep run in the SEC tourney but I hope we don't have to count on that.
Agreed, it honestly comes down to Texas A&M at this point. I'm not saying SC and Vandy won't help us but we need another Quad 1 win and Texas A&M gives us that. As you mentioned winning a few games in the SEC tourney will help as well but its never good having to rely on that.Quote:

Be prepared for multiple miracle runs in conf tournaments to screw us hahaQuote:

The NET crap is so annoying. We will be a 20 game or more winning team with wins against #6 Marquette, #11 TCU, Missouri, Arkansas, #25 Texas A&M. Years ago that would have been enough to get us in. Now, even in a win we drop spots.Quote:

Not back in the Stansbury days.... 20 wins in the SEC would get you in most yearsQuote:

Good idea, i'd be interested in seeing the difference. I'm not spun up enough on NET and the Quad structure to be able to do it.Quote:
