After the win against ATM, I figured State would be more in according to Lunardi and Palm. I thought beating ATM and Carolina would be enough but starting not to think that way. I don't understand why Palm has both WVU and OK State ahead of MSU. Both those teams play tonight WVU @ Iowa State and OK State got Baylor at home. Need both of them to lose but my gut feeling is, they both win. Wisconsin and Penn State both lost yesterday which was huge. I'm thinking MSU may have to win out and win a game in the SEC Tournament to get out of the first four

Where are you seeing Lunardi's updated bracket? I only see the old update from before the A&M game

Palm update now has us 1st team listed of last four in. Like you, can't find Lombardi update. Must win out and win a game or two in SEC tourney to take care of our business.

SEC really getting 8 teams in scares me, especially if we are #8. ACC already complaining that they deserve more than 5 as they have beat up each other. I also want AU to continue to lose out including a game one loss in the SEC tourney. Hail State!

That is correct. We need to win out and win the first SEC tournament game. If we do that we should make it. If not it’s a long shot

If we beat both Vandy and SC, we are 100% in. If we beat SC but lose to Vandy, we're still probably in, but need to go on a little run in the SEC tournament to be sure. Lose to SC and we can start planning for the NIT.

We've heard that song many times over the years. We aren't 100% in with those wins, or even with those and a couple of SECT wins.

I don’t ever remember a year where we thought we were in and didn’t make it.

[BrunswickDawg]

I don’t ever remember a year where we thought we were in and didn’t make it.

2018 - we were tied for 7th in the SEC (9-9/22-11) Bama (8-10,19-15) and A&M (9-9, 20-12), who were both behind us in the SEC got in.
2012 - we were 6th in the SEC (8-8, 21-11)
2010 - we won the West (9-7, 23-11) Florida (9-7, 21-12) got in instead

All those are years real similar to this one from a record standpoint. '12 wasn't huge snub, but we had been ranked a good bit. '18 we really should have been in.

[Lord McBuckethead]

A NET of 38 has never been left out of the field. And the media seems to love us.

[Bubb Rubb]

We've heard that song many times over the years. We aren't 100% in with those wins, or even with those and a couple of SECT wins.

If we win both of our remaining games, our NET will be somewhere around 36. If we didn't make the tourney as an at large team with a NET of 36, it will make history as the highest rated NET to not get a bid.

Win out and we're in.

[smootness]

That is correct. We need to win out and win the first SEC tournament game. If we do that we should make it. If not it?s a long shot

This is not true. Win both this week and we are almost certainly in. Win 1 and we still have a shot. Win both and a game in the SECT and there?s basically no way we?re not in.

There's no justification for Oklahoma State, but WVU's NET is 26. No question they should be ahead of us, and a lot of other teams. They'll probably be a 6 or 7 seed in the tourney.

Baylor (-1.5) at ok st
WV at Iowa st (-5)

[KOdawg1]

I don't see it that way at all. Beat South Carolina, and then win one more game. Whether that be Vandy or an SEC tournament game. That should get us in. Honestly, as long as we beat USC, we would still have a decent chance, no matter what else happens.

But if we beat USCe and Vandy, we're definitely in, no matter what happens in the SECT

He hasn't updated on the website but on Saturday night they showed it on TV his last four in were 43 WVU 44 Wisconsin 45 State and OK State 46. You would think State would be ahead of Wisconsin now.

I don't trust SEC getting 8 teams. Win out. Hail State!

How Missouri is locked in as a 6th seed is weird if we are fighting for our lives to even make a play-in game

Five Q1 wins and they're perfect against Q2, Q3, and Q4. They also have an RPI of 34. We have 4 Q1 wins, but we have 2 losses in Q2 and a loss in Q3(Georgia). Our RPI is also a tad high at 57

Their resume is clearly better than ours.
