I posted as soon as I saw it. During acc tourney, they said this is the latest lunardi update. Hopefully they had it messed upQuote:

1 is Kentucky so I don?t think they would match us against them in the 1sr round.
The other 3:
San Diego State 224 made 3 pointers
St. Mary?s 256 made 3 pointers
Creighton 275 made 3 pointers
I guess everybody knows our Achilles heel on defense by game 34.
SecN ticker just showed it like you say.Quote:

Yes we definitely would have been out had we lost. It would have been almost impossible to make it.Quote:

I really want to beat Bama because I hate everything Bama. The seeding bump is a bonus.
Frankly among 9, 10, or 11 I prefer 11. If you steal the 6 seed?s spot, you next game is against a 3 seed.
Yep. I'm hoping for an 11 seedQuote:

That's great and all, but the 11 seed has a winning record against 6 seeds in the last 10 years. The 10 and 9 seed both have losing records. An argument can be made that the 11 seed has the easier 1st round matchup between 9, 10, and 11 too.Quote:

Why are they supposedly ahead of us?
Yea that seems silly. I don’t think either Pitt or NC State deserve to be in over State or Clemson. NC State has 1 Q1 win that’s it. Pitt at least has 4 but so do we and they have a quad 4 loss and we don’t. I will definitely be really mad if Pitt and NC State get in over us. Clemson I could see more. Utah State is a really strange one. Their NET is like 17 or 18 but they are projected out of the field. That goes to show NET doesn’t hold as much weight as people want us to think.Quote:

So the 18-14 team plays a tougher non-conference schedule and goes 5-8 but 11-5 in a weak conference and 2-1 in their tourney. So that gives them an advantage over a team that won all 12 non-conference games but played a much tougher conference schedule and went 9-9.
Keep an eye on Ohio st. They're up on Michigan st at half. They've won 4 of 5 vs tourney teams. Winning the big 10 tourney is their only path
Luckily they still need 2 more wins after todayQuote:

As long as there are no upsets, but after today I will be happy with play in game. The fact Jans most likely has this team in the tournament is a miracle and he deserves to be in consideration for coach of the yearQuote:

We are in big big trouble with Vandy winning. They now have 1 less win than us but they beat us head to head. The committee will pick 1 of us
This is just not how any of it works.Quote:

If they win the tournament it could hurt us if the committee is set on 8 SEC teams.
This will be unpopular amongst some here but Vandy deserves to be in the tourney over us. I don't give a shit what the experts or metrics say, Vandy is more deserving than us and one of the hotter teams in the country.
It reminds me of the people that laughed about ND beating Tennessee in the super regional. I knew that would be a disaster because it meant Ole Miss was winning the NC. It’s similar in the fact that this could leave us out. I didn’t care if Tenn was “mean” them losing put Ole Miss as NC. Some people just don’t get it. Hopefully we still make it, but it puts us in a bad position
Vandy has to win it all to make it plain and simple. If they beat Bama to win it all I can?t argue they don?t deserve it over us, we had 3 shots to beat them and looked like ass two of those timesQuote:

Cmon A&M & Alabama
More like something mind altering with him.Quote:
