Will Perdue has been predicting on SEC NOW every hour this morning that with the remaining schedules Kentucky, Arkansas, and LSU will be the only 3 teams from the SEC who get into the NCAA tournament unless one of the other contenders makes a strong SEC tournament run or beats Kentucky.

Based on that, Will Perdue needs to start hunting another profession.

So should everyone be saying Tennessee isn't going to a Tournament at all? It's one thing to be overconfident but the NegaVols seem defeatist about this basketball team

They will be in the National Invitational Tournament 80%, NCAA 20%.

I'm about as positive as they come, but expecting wins over Kentucky and over 20 wins is getting to be a bit much. This team has definitely overachieved, but the schedule is backloaded and we are not a deep team at all. However, I do expect to be in just about every game with our defensive style and how hard we fight.

19-11 I think is the realistic target which would mean winning one in the SEC tourney would have us at 20-12. That record got us in last year in a MUCH weaker SEC. Hard to believe it wouldn't get us in again this year and likely around a 10 seed.

I like most everyone see 5 wins on the schedule and 4 losses. That would put us at 17-9. So you need 2 wins out of @Vandy, LSU, @UF, @OM. I have 3 of those as leaning toward a W so I think 2 is attainable. We'd have to be perfect to get 20 in the regular season, but I don't see that as necessary.

Go VOLS beat A&M!

I think most everyone thinks Tennessee will do a lot better than 5-4.

Let's keep in mind we really don't have a BAD loss. I guess you could say Alabama is a tough loss but other than that we've lost to good teams. NS State is legit.

19-20 wins with a win in the SEC Tourney and we're dancing!

Marquette is the main iffy one. However, we've had around 2-3 worse losses than Marquette per year the previous 3 years. Kansas State winning will help us, as well.

Good point, I guess I still have an image of the old Marquette teams in my head.
