hat, you've probably mentioned this elsewhere, but what do you think the magic number is for this team to get in? We are 19-9, 7-6 in the SEC. Is 20 the magic number? What if we lose the next three and win one in the SEC tourney? That would put us at 20-13, 7-9.

Some seem to think we just have to get to 20 and doesn't really matter how we do it.

I really think UT needs to finish .500 in the league. It's hard for me to imagine a team with a losing conference record getting in out of the SEC this year. I think the scenario you list would have UT playing an NIT game in Knoxville.

So do you think we are in if we beat Arkansas or Georgia (or Florida) and lose the first SEC Tourney game? We would be 20-12, 8-8 in that scenario.

Why can't we beat Arkansas and Georgia and win an SEC tourney game? :yes:

You know what, the UF lost to Vandy really bolsters our case to get into the Big Dance. If UF had won that game and stayed undefeated in regular season the NCAA tourney selection committe could say the SEC is really water down this year and if that were the case UT would probably have to finish 9-7 in league to get in. But, now with a 8-8 record in the SEC and UT's RPI it will be better bet that UT gets in to the NCAA tourney.

Watching College Gameday tonight at 1am, they led with UT-BAMA. After saying both team were on the Bubble, they proceeded to do their In or Out scenario with Bama, saying theyre out. UT was not even discussed. Does that tell us the analysts think we're in or that we're out. Or did they cut us out in the interest of time?

I think Tennessee is in right now, and in even if they only win one more game. If you look at our RPI 20 wins and .500 in the conference will get us in. Things might be different five years ago, but there are a ton of mediocre teams with similar records to us who are going to make up about a fourth of the field, and of those teams we have more good wins than any of them. We also lost by 1 to who I feel is going to be the #1 overall seed come tourney time at their place. Just win one more, play Florida within ten, and I think we're in.

Guys, the biggest thing for us right now is our Away win-loss record in the SEC. I think we are SERIOUSLY on the bubble if we end up .500 with our terrible away record. Maybe 2 wins in the SEC tournament would mask that.

IMO the Vols are going to beat Georgia at home. That would assure an 8 and 8 record which I believe gets us in the Tourney.

Miguel thinks TN will end up with a 6 or 7 if we win 2 out of last 3. 8 or 9 if we win only one. TN rpi is very high so is sos.. GO VOLS

Are there any tournamnet games being played in DC this year? I got to go there for a Thur-Sun trip. Figured if they were hosting any, I might as well schedule it for that period. Any help appreciated.

geez, that would be a rough region. UCLA, Memphis as the top 2, a Southern Illinois and a Nevada team that no one wants to play in the tournament, not to mention a Michigan St. team that seems like they could make a run. That would be a pretty terrible draw for us if it happened.

UCLA is #1 seed...

Agree with the rest, not to mention our first round games would be in Sacramento...how many VOL fans will make that trip out west?

Yeah, this is the worst case scenario for us though. Lets be thankful that Lunardi isn't so accurate with the placements.
