There's nothing to grasp. You said that as if one more win completely locks us in, we are a bubble team which means anything can happen. Other bubble teams have conference tournaments too and can go on a run, nothing is guaranteed yet.

We win Saturday we’re in the tourney. That’s the long & short of it. It’s really that simple.

We’re projected as a 10.5 seed over all brackets. Win Saturday & that goes down to a high 9 very low 10 seed. We’re in the tourney. I understand the paranoia of a MSU fan but win Saturday & we’re fine.

The idea that a team that is a consensus "last 4 in" can become a lock after 1 win over a team that is not close to the bubble is a bit much.
We are very likely to be in with a win Saturday, but it won't be enough to get us out of the play-in line, and if we follow it up with a loss Thursday, we've got a stressful weekend of waiting.

There's no reason to think that. A win Saturday keeps us on the play-in line, nothing more, unless teams ahead of us take bad losses and fall.

We’re a 10.7 avg seed. Win at worst we’re a low 10 seed on avg. Thats not the play in line.

Every year there are bubble teams who think they are in and get disappointed.. you can't forget about teams stealing bids in conference tournaments or other bubble teams making runs in their conference tournaments.
A win Saturday doesn't completely lock us in, it gives us a really good chance of getting in but any team considered to be on the bubble isn't a lock.

You're looking at bracket matrix? We are one of six 11 seeds, and we are the 4th. Thus one of the 4 play-in teams.
Maybe a win over Vandy bumps us up 2 slots, but I doubt it unless there are bad losses ahead of us. Definitely not bumping up 4 spots to a 10 seed though.

I hate being on lunardi's last 4 in line. If I were on the committee, it would make me wanna go a different route just to show it's not Joe's decision. I'm petty like that though

We’d be 21-10 (9-9) with a Net in the high 30’s in all likelihood. We’d have 0 quad 4 losses. Only 1 quad 3 losses & we’d be 9-9 in Quad 1 & 2 games (4-7 Quad 1). How many bubble teams with that resume have been left out? Yes bubble teams get left out every year but none with a resume as good as ours.

I guess we’ll see

Have not seen it mentioned in this thread but Vandy will likely be without Liam Robbins on Saturday, who had been averaging over 20 points a game since they started their hot streak. They did win without him playing much last night, so it didn?t immediately fall apart without him. But he is a big loss for them and frankly not having to deal with a seven footer that can shoot threes may be a huge break for us.

Didn't realize this. This would be huge. I want tolu under the basket

Agree with this. I was concerned with the 7 foot white guy for Vandy pulling Tolu out to 3 point line, plus that dude is tough in the middle too. If he doesn't play that's is a huge advantage for us then.

As a couple have stated, if we win Saturday at Vandy, we are in 100%. Follow that up with a win or 2 in SEC tourny and we can get as high as a 9. If we lose at Vandy and win 1 in SEC tourny, we are still in. We have the resume of a 9 or 10 seed if you take names off of all jerseys right now. Add to that, the bubble is not very strong behind us. It will be hard for teams to pass us regardless of results. Added to that, this year's mid majors aren't as strong. There are only a couple of mid major conference champs that can steal a bid because so many of those conferences will only get one in regardless. The only outcome to sweat is an L at Vandy and an L first game of SEC tourny. Then we would still be on the real bubble. Ideally, I would like to get a 10 seed and play the 7 then the 3. Sweet Sixteen it is!

Halliday: I said to Leach, "What do I need to do to get the ball there on time?" He was like, "Well, just throw it to the guy who's f'ing open." I was like, "Yeah, no, I get that dude, but what do you want me to do to get it there quicker?" And he was like, "I don't give a f what you do. Just throw it to the guy who's f'ing open."
