No reason we shouldn't beat Mississippi State Saturday, Barnes has his work cut out for him getting these guys up to play...do so and they'll win, and be sitting in a great spot.
It's still a rough road ahead. Really need to go 4-1 at home. TN really needs to get the Georgia win to avoid having to beat Alabama to make the tournament. 6-3 is far better than 5-4. It's going to be difficult to win one of @KY, @USCe, Georgia, and Alabama plus go 5-0 in the rest.
Tennessee sits 13-9(5-4), 9 games remaining, 18-13(10-8) and they are likely in, anything better than that and they're a lock IMO.
So at minimum 5-4 the rest of the way is what they need to do...rpiforecast has us favored in 6/8 remaining games.
Don't forget that they don't like to give credit for Chaminade. 18-13 and a win in the SECT will really help their odds. It'll be so close that how the other bubblers shake out should decide it. I hope they have 6-3 and at least 1-1 in them. But they're freshmen dependent. Even the NIT isn't a lock just yet.
That's weird too. Show us favored in 6 of 8 but predict winning 17 games.Tennessee sits 13-9(5-4), 9 games remaining, 18-13(10-8) and they are likely in, anything better than that and they're a lock IMO.

Hasn't updated yet today, but probably will stay the same...it uses a formula, not sure what it is, but it's not simply if you're favored in 6 they have you winning 6, they look and if 3 of those games you're only favored by 1-2pts then they assume it's likely you're gonna drop 1 of those.
