    Even Warren Nolan has us projected to 16-14 in the SEC. 14 SEC wins gets us in. Will we host? No those hopes likely sank Saturday night. But good lord we are very much in the Tourney right now.

    Just so you know, I have absolutely nothing to base my opinion on other that a hunch

    it?s going to have to be a miraculous turnaround for Lemonis to make it.

    These posts kill me. Just 5 days ago we were projected comfortably in as a 2 seed. We have the worst team in the SEC coming in this weekend.

    This team is going to make the NCAA Tourney unless it just implodes down the stretch

    Yes the path is still there to making the tournament, but we went from a position of looking to be squarely in the tournament to now our backs are against the wall and can't afford any more slip ups because we blew a series at FL and OM. This is the year for Lemonis to prove he still deserves to be the guy in charge and instead he's flirting with not even making the tournament for 3 years in a row.

    I hope we win every game the rest of the season, but I'm not going to hold my breath. We are who we are at this point.

    Before the season I said Lemonis needs to go unless we host, or we barely miss hosting.

    During the season I graciously amended it to that we needed to be perceived as a top 25 team for Lemonis to stay.

    I highly doubt he makes either metric at this point. I, like almost all of our fans, am ready to move on. Barring a surprise run to Omaha (which is where this team should be by talent), we need to make the change this offseason.

    I would venture to guess it is 99 percent certain he stays if he makes a regional. Maybe higher.

    Regardless, barring a miracle deep run into postseason, it's time for a change.

    This is why we should have fired Lemo last year.

    He missed HOOVER in year 4 and 5. To keep him is to say "we're giving you a chance to improve", which means if he does "improve" but is still not up to State standards, how do you fire him? You'd look less reasonable firing a guy after making a regional in year 6 vs firing a guy after missing Hoover again in year 5. The same coward that didn't pull the trigger last May will have to pull the trigger this May.

    And note that Coach34 is trying to change the "goal" or "standard" if you will, into sweeping into a tourney. That is not the standard. That's fine in down years, but barely making a tourney is not a "success" unless we go on a run from there. We objectively have top 15 facilities/pay/fan support/history/nil and there's no reason to accept being say the the 38th best at large team as a "success".

    Let's wait and see if State can squeak by Alcorn tomorrow night before we crown them with a 3 Seed in Clemson's Regional.

    Big series against lowly Auburn team. I like our chances winning two, but I thought like that last weekend. We better bring the bats, limit walks and play defense like we can.

    Look, I am a believer that once you get into the post season, anybody could win it all. Look at OM 2 years ago. Hell look at us at the Tallahassee regional years back. We were a 2 seed back in 2017 in Hattiesburg so we have competed and done well without us hosting. Does it suck not to host? Hell yes!! We can make some noise even as a low seed, but this team is going to need to change a bunch of things in order for that to happen. I personally don't see it, but it could happen

    I didn’t predict us to win any road series this year because we don’t have the formula to do that, so I am not surprised we lost last weekend. We need to sweep this weekend because this is the only series I think we have a decent shot to do it being that Auburn is having a lot of problems this year. If we can sweep this weekend, win 2 out of 3 in the other 2 home series we will end 14-16. We need to beat Ole Miss in Jackson and then win one or two in the SEC tournament and if we do that I think we get in as a 3 seed. The problem is if we don’t do those things we are out unless we steal a game @vandy which is going to be really tough

    Candy is 1 game better than us in the SEC at 8-7. Thinking they will sweep us is a little doomsday at this point

    Don't look behind you. Lemonis is on a Ladder with Chain Saw in hand!
