    Oh My Vandy!

    Great finish. Gonna be tough in Nashville and should be a good game to watch.

    Both us and Vandy playing our best ball down the stretch.

    Love seeing Ky getting beat.

    I have a feeling the winner of the MSU-Vandy game will be in The Dance

    The only team walking into Memorial Gym on Saturday with a realistic chance to make the tournament is us. Vandy has a NET currently in the mid 80s, that will probably rise a bit tonight but not much. They have two Q3 losses and a Q4 loss. The only way they are making the NCAA tournament is if they win the SEC Tournament.

    It will be a nice Q2 win. Just like it would have been had they lost tonight. The win does nothing to help us anymore than it did before. We had to win it before and it is still a must win.

    That?s just simply not true. They should move up to at least 78-80 in the NET. If they beat us they move into a Q1 loss for us. So not bad. If we beat them they probably move down to 80-82 spot in the NET and still a Q2 win. If they would have lost tonight it would be a Q2 win or loss for us. Now that?s potentially a Q1 game for us Saturday. Vandy could also go on a run in SECT and get to Q1.

    A win at Vandy could sneak into a Quad 1 win depending on what they do in the SEC Tournament.

    Their NET is 85 right now. If we beat them but they go into the tournament and win a couple games, they could find their way into the Top 75 in NET.

    Well I hope they win 0 games in the tournament since out of all likelihood they will be playing us.

    Vandy isn't getting in with an at large bid. Gonna be a tough game nonetheless. I think it's possible we could lose this game and still get in with a good showing in the SECT.

    Hopefully we can just take care of business and not have to worry on selection Sunday.

    Yeah, Vandy is NIT bound and has a very good chance to win it.

    Some folks are still trying to make this into a situation where we can lose Saturday and it not affect our tournament chances. If we lose Saturday then we'll need a deep run in Nashville. It's that simple. Win and you probably can solidify your spot and get out of those First Four games with a win in the tournament.

    Also of note, Auburn losing tonight probably bumps us up to the Last 4 Byes in mock brackets.

    Vandy has been playing good the last few weeks, its going to be a tough game but with them playing better, a win will help us.

    Something to remember is while the NET is a tool that is certainly predominantly used, ultimately a committee of people will be who picks the tourney. There is a human element to the selection process.

    You're feeling wrong, because the only chance Vandy has of making the Dance is to win the SECT. Period. end of story.

    Vandy isn?t making the tourney, but they are playing like a tournament team. It will be tough.

    You are right, that's why I said a few weeks back that we don't need to barely be on the bubble, the human element you are referring to will probably put a more traditional basketball program in ahead of ours. Teams like Wisconsin, North Carolina and Michigan are currently bubble teams right now, their name recognition definitely helps them.

    Thats why we have to take care of business against Vandy and it still wouldn't hurt to get a win or two in the SEC tournament. I don't trust the selection committee
