I don't think 20-10 gets us in unless there is a UK scalp on the floor.

Why is this? We have a decent out of conference record, and have a good strength of schedule rating?

There is no way the NCAA doesn't include at least 3 SEC teams. I think 20 wins in the regular season and this TN team is a lock.

19-20 wins and Tennessee gets in. I think UT gets 21 so they will enter the Big Dance easily.

20 regular season would most likely give you the third best resume in the SEC. Definitely a lock unless FL somehow rises out of the ashes.

I would gladly take that. And win a couple of tourney games to try and stay out of the 8-9 game. Not gonna lie, being an 11 seed definitely increased the chances of moving on so if we could end up being in that 6-11 game without the play in it would set up nicely for another sweet 16 run. The way we grind out games it's not out of the realm of possibilities.

Get to 20 wins and we're on the bubble, probably on the right side of it.

I think we get to 19 by beating Ole Miss. JMO

Agreed. LSU looked good against UF. Unfortunately we draw them twice. Need to go 1-1 in that series.

Gonna be good NCAA Tournament for the SEC. I think Kentucky,Tennessee,Georgia and LSU go to the Big Dance. I think Arkansas will be in a Play in game.

Florida will be one of the top NIT seeds in the 2015 Tournament.

Hope so. Every time it looks like they're going to make a run they lose. may it continue. Especially when we play them.

Looking at the schedule ahead, I'm thinking we get only 4 to 7 more wins. If we get 7 more wins, we finish the regular season with 19 wins. Does that get us in the dance? Assuming our RPI is 35 to 40.

I see 5 Games I expect to win, which gets us to 17.
I see 5 Games I think we have a definite chance in.
And 3 games where we will be heavy dogs.

Gotta think 18- 20 wins are within reason.

Having 3 conference road Wins in the bank certainly helps

We should beat A&M, Auburn, and Miss ST. 3 out of our next 4. Probably a must to get in the tourney. We can pretty much punch our ticket though Jan 27th at Ark. Will be a HUGE game.

Just about every team in the SEC is way to big for Reese, Charmichael, and Moore. But they keep surprising me. So does KY. 3 weeks ago, I say TN has a 0% chance of beating KY. Now I think they will have a fight on their hands.

This BasketVols team has the most heart of any team I've seen in many,many years. I think Coach Tyndall has a whole lot to do with that.

We have more than 7 possible wins left.

We get AnM, Miss St, Auburn, LSU, Vandy and USCe left as winnable home games.
We get Vandy, UGA and Florida on the road as possible winners too.

I don't think we get all 9 but taken individually we can certainly win every game i listed above.

They play lights out against the big dogs, but Cals' having a terrible time this season motivating them to show up for the teams they don't respect.
Don't think they'll put us on the big dog list.
