    Hopefully Florida and Kentucky lose before we play them. Still worrying about Q1 wins is foolsgold. We need to just get the easiest path to winning the whole thing.

    We can beat anyone in the SEC if we play our game.

    Hopefully KY PG is still on "Personal Leave" during the tourney. But then again he will show up for our game knowing our luck.

    I hope bama makes 50 threes to beat Tenn and Ky and then shoot 12% in our game. On the other side of the bracket, I hope we get to play Scar somehow.

    We need to beat Fla in the Tourney. That is likely a play-in game for the NCAA Tourney

    Beating Florida alone

    I agree. It?s important to advance 1 or 2 rounds in SEC tournament. This bracket is now set up for us to play ourselves in. Semis put us squarely on the bubble. Finals we are in. The effort played with today gives us a chance to make and advance in the tournament. We are capable of making a run or flopping but we are talented enough to play with anyone

    We need to cheer for Florida badly. A win against Georgia or Ole Miss would do nothing for us.

    If we want in we need to play the best teams possible and beat them. I guess we could hope for an auto bid and absolute chaos with the top teams all getting beat before they play us.

    Lunardi had us as the last team in the Next 4 out. So we aren't going to be backdooring this thing unless we win it all. We have to win games against quality opponents and get a little help.

    Teams we need to root against:

    Arizona State, Texas, Indiana, Xavier, NC State, Richmond, Cincinnati, Wichita State, Northern Iowa, Purdue, Memphis

    All of those are bubble teams Lunardi has in front of us right now.

    Jerry Palm had us first four out before the game yesterday...
    Lot of these teams will be done before we take the court friday
    We should move up a few spots before we play Friday

    If we beat Fla we have a strong case to be in .. depending on what happens to teams in front of us
    Beat UK we are in

    That’s the path to the dance.

    I agree on our case when we beat FL. I don't understand all the FL love. They need to tweak the formula somehow. We have disposed of all the SEC bubble teams (Ark twice, USC, UF, Bama) and clearly the 4th best team in SEC so how are we not in or right on the edge?

    We are in a situation where bid stealers will absolutely screw us this year. Win at least one game this week and we see what happens.

    We have to win it all period. Loss to SCar screwed us.

    Bracket matrix (which is an aggregate of all these people who act like they have a clue but in reality can't trust any 1 of them because the committee could do whatever) is the most reliable source to see where we stand. We're the 10th team out in that one. With all the bid stealing possibilities, the only way we can get in is by winning the championship. Doesn't rule us out if we just lose on Sunday, but I don't see any path that doesn't have us winning 3 games in 3 days.

    I don't think so. We're not a bad enough loss to knock them out, and we need a lot more than that to get in without the autobid.

    I'd much rather play Georgia or Ole Miss on Friday.

    We could hammer Florida and Kentucky and lose by 1 to Auburn on Sunday, and we're still probably out. There's a bunch of teams ahead of us (7-10 depending on the bracketologist), and there will be a few upsets in other conference tournaments to steal some more bids, putting us even further back. Yes, a couple of those teams in front of us could pick up a bad loss and play their way behind us, but it's unlikely more than a couple of them will.

    Our only hope is to win the SEC Tournament, so we need as easy of a path as possible.

    Yep. Better way of framing it is that we are 9 wins in a row away from a national championship, but any loss ends that bid. Survive and advance. It's officially March.

    Idk... that would be 2 Q1 wins, and would jump our NET considerably.
