Bubble watch
NC State at Duke - go duke
Maybe we can keep this on front page, and give updates on who to pull for

We are in a weird position. We just haven't had any games down the stretch that can catapult us to in. Its basically just rack up as many wins as possible and then watch the selection show and hope its enough. Even at 12-6 in the league we are going to be squarely on the bubble. A lot of bubble teams have been getting big wins recently.

Need richmond, Rhode Island, Stanford, which state to lose too

We are a game back of 2nd with 2 to play. Do we root for AU, LSU & UF to lose - or does that hurt us as much as help with the metrics being what they are?
AU has A&m and @UT
LSU has @Arkansas and UGA
UF has @UGA and UK
All 4 of us (AU, LSU, UF, MSU) have losing records on the road in SEC play

Au and Lsu will most likely win out.

We went in the opposite direction....we were in, but we had a game that catapulted us out....the beat down by Mississippi.

Even if we win out I don't see us getting in unless there are no surprises in a lot of these conference tourneys. Our net is 52 and in the RPI we only have two Q1 wins and 3 Q3 losses. We may get lucky but I don't see it happening.

Screw that. I want this team to keep thinking they have to win out. They only seem to play their best when their backs are against the wall.

South Carolina win would be Q1

What you talking about? Just us winning out doesn't guarantee anything... well unless you talking about SECT which is gonna be extremely difficult

If we win out we will have 3 quad one wins.
In the net we are 52 with only two Q3 losses.
In the rpi we do have three Q3 losses true, but we are 46.

Do they understand that their resume' is not NCAA-worthy? Or are they looking at their SEC rank and think they will be the 4th team in? Not sure about that or Coach Howland's ability to motivate these days.

If we win these next two, we will be in. I think an important thing to remember is that Joe Lunardi is not the Selection Committee. Jerry Palm (CBS bracket guy) has us as the first team out right now. Get a Q1 win on Tuesday night and hold serve Saturday at home, and I see no way they leave out a 12-6 SEC team with a top 4 finish and double bye in the conference tournament. Beat Florida in the first round of the SECT and we likely aren't in the First Four.

That was the killer, no doubt.

Either need to win these two games + one in the SECT or win the SECT altogether to make it. Other bubble teams aren't to worry about. Just need to take care of business ourselves.
The one thing that college basketball definitely gets right is that you control your own destiny always.

You do that & the 1st SEC tourney game is likely Florida which would be another Quad 1 opportunity. Win those 3 & you're in for sure.

True and good point.

If we win the next 3 games we are in
Walk like the King or walk like you don't care who the King is

Let us assume we split this week. Does getting to Sunday in the conference tourney get us in? Thoughts?
