We win 4 out of last 5 I gotta think we are in. | What I wouldn't give to have the AP and Georgia games back. Should have won both of those games which would have our current RPI closer to 40-50 instead of 100. Still think we get in for sure if we win out and win one game in SEC tourney. Might get in losing one and taking 2 in SEC tourney | |

The team had to see how bad it could be if they kept just playing for themselves and not playing hard every minute. While the RPI and resume boost would be nice, maybe the lessons learned in those to games will pay dividends down the road. Hopefully in the next 5 regular season games and the SECt too. | |

Stokes makes them a completely different team | |

| CCM said a few weeks back that we had to do it their way to show them it wasn't gonna work. Once it didn't work now were gonna do it my way.
I think that say a lot. It held a lot of weight to say we did things your way and w sucked, now try it my way, and look at whatvthe results are. | |

I wasn't trying to be mean to you with my post, but since you got that way with me here goes....
What percentage of yours are just worthless junk taking up bandwidth that only a 3rd grader would find enjoyable? I'm guessing 100%. You really want to play this game with me girl? I promise you won't win. Keep on though. I will enjoy this.

I promise you won't win. Keep on though. I will enjoy this. | Mean? Most of your posts are just taking jabs at innocent mistakes. Since you seem to enjoy taking shots at people, i thought i would point it out Now you resort to some misogynistic name calling by trying to demean me by calling me girl? As for it being a game, not really a game, you are a one of those people that are brave behind a keyboard, calling me names twice in one post. So, since I am on here for my enjoyment, and your type of ignorance is anything but, I will just relegate your drivel to the ignore list and not have to worry about whatever childish thing you post next. | |

| Here's some teams to root against today....
From lunardis twitter:
“@ESPNLunardi: Plenty of "lose and out" candidates: KState (at Baylor), NCSt (vs FlaSt), Miami (vs Wake), Wash (vs Zona), Texas (at OkSt), Cincy (vs Hall)”
“@ESPNLunardi: Also "bubbling": UConn (vs Marquette), Illinois (at Nebraska) and BYU (at Santa Clara).” | |
