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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Man Vandy has been looking very good it kinda has me nervous
-
They are not playing our defense.
-
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.

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.

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.
-
We moved up 1 spot to 43
Vandy moved up 1 spot to 84

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.
