MBK upcoming schedule

[smootness]

Tonight isn't an absolute must-win because I don't think we have to win out to make it in. But it's pretty close. 3-0 to finish and we should make it; 2-1 and we'll be right on the bubble but very possibly in. 1-2 and we are probably out.

I had a month long hiatus for "repeated politics". Assuming I broke my rule of not posting while drunk and posted at 34 or something stupid. Doesn't seem to have changed much as when you remove one idiot, two more grow to take his place ������

Well don't post when drunk, lol! You always have some good insights on sports. Try not to get banned again, lol!

The bubble is soft, but a blue blood like UNC sitting out there worries me. Our resume is head and shoulders better than them, 0 Q1 wins for them, but the committee is human and the thought of Carolina's fan base vs our fan base would have me nervous on Selection Sunday if we go 2-2 in the next 4 and go one and done in the tournament.

Watched a very few minutes of recent ACC game, UNC vs. NCS maybe. ACC announcer arguing with Lombardi that ACC in conference games have cannibalized overall record of very good teams and they deserve more than 5 tourney bids and no way SEC should get 8. Lombardi stuck to his position. We better win out. I have no confidence in being SEC team number 8!

Sober me knows that.

But drunk me is smarterer at the strategery of locking my phone up.

Our NET didn't drop (43rd), Mizzou's didn't rise (51st).

Remaining schedule...
aTm 23rd
SC 242nd
At vandy 87th

I don't think wins at home against SC and at Vandy will do enough for us. We have to win Saturday or the NCAA tournament is pretty much over for us.
If we beat A&M we may could stay in last four in with a loss at Vandy.
There's always the chance of a deep run in the SEC tourney but I hope we don't have to count on that.

Agreed, it honestly comes down to Texas A&M at this point. I'm not saying SC and Vandy won't help us but we need another Quad 1 win and Texas A&M gives us that. As you mentioned winning a few games in the SEC tourney will help as well but its never good having to rely on that.

I can see 1-10 very easily. Y?all need to get real? this team sucks

Lets keep it real.. there is lucky number 7 .

[smootness]

I think we probably get in at this point assuming we take care of SC, even if we lose to Vandy. Winning both essentially guarantees we're in.

Be prepared for multiple miracle runs in conf tournaments to screw us haha

We won last night, but we also lost... down 5 spots in NET to 44th. UNC is 45th... I don't like us being that close to them with them hosting Duke Saturday.

The NET crap is so annoying. We will be a 20 game or more winning team with wins against #6 Marquette, #11 TCU, Missouri, Arkansas, #25 Texas A&M. Years ago that would have been enough to get us in. Now, even in a win we drop spots.

I agree it's annoying, but other teams play too. When we jumped the other day, I'm sure someone fell even after a win.

It's only because of the NET that we have a chance at all. If we were still using RPI, we'd be #53 and a real long shot to make it.

This was also true in 2019, where under the RPI we would have been a long shot bubble team, but instead got a 5 seed thanks to the NET.

Not back in the Stansbury days.... 20 wins in the SEC would get you in most years

If you had a good RPI. Stansbury actually had 3 teams that had 20 wins on Selection Sunday who didn't get in.

Someone should calculate historical NETs and see if any of those teams would have gotten in under the current system (which also has 3 more bids).

Good idea, i'd be interested in seeing the difference. I'm not spun up enough on NET and the Quad structure to be able to do it.

Well 8-3 and clearly on the bubble for the Dance.
Keep it Real RD and keep sucking
