Tournament Hopes

[vol_4_life14]

What do you think our chances are to still make the Tournament?

I think we can not have any more losses to the bottom 7 and have to have at least 19 wins In the regular season.

20 wins including SECT would keep us in the conversation, whether that's 18 wins regular season and 2 wins in the SECT, or 19 wins and 1 at the SECT, doesn't much matter imo.

 

[cwbytruckers]

17-13 9-9 will not get it done. Sorry.

 

[VolnJC]

I think we are in and just playing for seeding now.. I assume of course that you are talking about the NIT

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Both Vandy games are now very winnable.

 

[omghulkhands]

Beat UK and maybe you get in with 18 or 19 wins total.

If we beat UGA and LSU and finish with 19 or 20 wins, we are in as well IMO

 

[bleedingTNorange]

17-13 9-9 will not get it done. Sorry.

I'm not sure anyone is saying it would?

17-13 9-9 will not get it done. Sorry.

I think we get more than 17 wins, I think more like 19 or 20.

Texas A&M game was a missed opportunity. They were a top 75 RPI win and at home. Need to steal a road win at UGA, LSU, OM, or UF. Right now, Arkansas is the only good SEC win.

I think we get more than 17 wins, I think more like 19 or 20.

I hope so. Just don't see where they come from.

MSState game just got tougher after today

 

[gunner]

21 wins without beating UK, 20 with a UK win gets UT in the tourney.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

MSState game just got tougher after today

Why?

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

18-12 plus 1-1 as long as the losses aren't butt ugly.

 

[JohnMcA60]

17-13 9-9 will not get it done. Sorry.

We should beat Vandy both times barring any extreme lapse or lose to coaching and MSstate is still a very winnable game. I'd say you are close but add another win to your total. NIT berth is fine.

Why?

Mississippi state beat LSU 73 to 67 tonight

^^^^^^^^^

UGA and LSU really are the two key games for us. We beat them and Vandy twice and we are probably in. Also, really important we take care of UF. All this is predicated on fact this puts our RPI in the 40's. Feel we need to be there. Anything under 50.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Mississippi state beat LSU 73 to 67 tonight

I think that says more about LSU than MST, but JMO

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Mississippi state beat LSU 73 to 67 tonight

I take it to mean the LSU is more winnable now.

 

[Purplehaze26]

Ain't gonna happen. Expect us to finish at 17-18 wins. Schedule starts getting tough this weekend coming up.

 

[TennTom]

20 wins however it happens gets us in. 19 is on the edge.

 

[LittleCat]

UK game could be the swing. Beat UK and you might only need 18 or 19 going into the SECT.

 

[i2amavol]

UK game could be the swing. Beat UK and you might only need 18 or 19 going into the SECT.

Its much easier for me to believe in getting 21 wins by winning one or two in the SEC Tourney.

 

[vols 30]

Alabama and Marquette are two games that I wish we had back.

 

[Shaun1985]

Outside of Kentucky, its a complete mess. We have as good of a shot as anyone. Just win games and were in.
