If I recall I think we were a projected 9 seed going into the end of the year with a 11-7 SEC record.
We were projected as the second team out in 2020. Us and Florida were going to play Thursday in what amounted to a play in game for the tournament.

In 17-18, our RPI just wasn't high enough. We didn't help ourselves by playing a crap non con schedule and getting run off the floor by the only team we played in non con with a pulse(Cincinnati). Despite that, we still had chances to easily make the tourney that year. Just win at Vandy and win at LSU. Both of those teams were TERRIBLE. We lost at the buzzer to Vandy and were blown out at LSU. We weren't making the tourney barring winning the SEC tourney.
