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.

A win Saturday and we are in really really good shape. And *if* we make the tournament, we have the depth to make a 2nd weekend run.

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.

Nothing is a lock, but with each win the odds become better and better.

That's weird too. Show us favored in 6 of 8 but predict winning 17 games.

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.

It's actually 7/9. That would be 19 wins.
Losses to KY and USC.

IMO gotta win the next two to still have a good shot. I think we will lose back to back with Georgia and Kentucky

Being as how this is the next team up thread...I still worry about MS St. Herard and 5 other guys over 6'7" whereas we have one. If the game is called as ridiculously tight as it was last night we could be sunk in a hurry down low. The irony is we may have cured our problem of inconsistency yet SEC refs are the most inconsistent bunch in the game.

This team is also chock-full of freshmen who will, inevitably, play like freshmen. I am trying to temper my expectations and just enjoy the fun while it lasts.
