So would a 14-4 league record.....
- Thread starter gojvc
- Start date
Most likely. But there is also a good chance that would be real close to winning the SEC and they would almost have to put us in then. Standings are going to be strange this year as some games may not be made up if an outbreak happens in early March. We will see.

Weird season so the criteria may be different.... but we absolutely need to win the majority of games left to have a shot. Possibly need to win the SEC Tournament if that is a thing this year
We have zero wins against anyone resembling a top team. Tennessee and Texas are the only hope of getting a quality win from here on out. It won't be enough imo. Our resume is garbage...
We lost 6 straight. There’s no quality wins left to get. Win the SEC tourney of they’re going home.
It amazing to me how so many on here have such a hard time hearing the truth.
14-4 would be enough because we'd have finished top 3 in SEC. Win one in the SEC tourney and you don't need the win against Texas either.
16-12 with our SOS and a top three spot in the SEC likely gets us a 9 or 10 seed. I'm cool with that after this crapfest of a start.

We have 11 of 15 Quad 1 games left LMFAO. You don't think TX, Bama, @Bama, TN, @TN, LSU, and @Mizzo are quality wins? All are in the Top 25 NET and 3-4 are in the Top 25.
lol we play undefeated Alabama this week
We play top 25 ranked Mizzou and Tennessee x2
We play #4 Texas
why are you being so negative? If we finish second in the SEC we will make the tourney. Take a nap or something
There are plenty of quality wins left to get. I think 14-4 in the SEC with a win in the SEC tournament gets us in.
The radio postgame show said the NCAA wants to cancel conference Tourneys so they don't chance teams getting infected before their cash cow starts so we might have to win the regular season and go at least 16-10 to make it.
We are playing the second best team we have faced all year KU, Bama is the hardest team to beat since KU. They will be ranked on Monday. We have to play well or lose.
The SEC is hard this year. I can't see us going dancing unless we score on fast breaks and turn teams over getting points off of turnovers will be key. Starr also has to score on post moves some how.

Win out in 2021 and no one can say nothing. The team I saw today could beat anybody.
Sorry brother but if we win SEC Regular season we are in tournament. 13-5 and we are in. 14-4 is a lock.
If we continue current trajectory we have nothing to worry about.
UK is 4-6. They have loss to bad teams. Sorry you can't handle the truth right now.
In case you're haveing trouble with that. UK will have to win 2 more games before they are even at .500 on the year.
Here’s the one thing that could get them in with a 16-10 or a 15-11 récord. Brooks. Why? Because this is the first time our game looked complete. Is brooks a game changer? Not having brooks for those 6 losses that could be a factor
this is a different team with allen and brooks. spreads the floor. we could be very good at the end of the year.
16-10 or so with a couple of wins over teams like Alabama, Tennessee, and/or Texas and they'll have played their way in.
I'll say this much.. beating Texas is VERY much on the table. As of now, there's only a few teams I think would for sure beat us.. and Texas isn't one of them.
We could be great at the end of year with a 16-10 record but will that be enough to make the tournament?
I have no idea, but we always bring as many if not more than any fan base to the tournament, that means money for them, but this year being played in a bubble in Indiana and no fans, we lose that advantage. So the NCAA will not need us outside of TV.
Who knows.
Alabama, Mizzou, Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas are all quality teams. We do have some opportunity left. We have to take advantage though. I like where we are headed as a team but unless we get some quality wins it’s meaningless.
The way Keion played today ... yes. If he keeps playing like that, the Selection Committee will take into account UK lost 6 games without him.
I think 14-4 would do it. We have some opportunities to get top 25 wins. We just need to keep improving and winning and it will work out. It's just gonna be a tall task with the hole we've dug in the nonconference. It's hard to recover from 1-6. I'll be cheering the every step of the way, though.
We’ve played against 3 weak teams and almost got beat by 2 of them and we’re talkin tournament seeding. How about we get above .500 before we start doing this
they certainly looked capable today
Sorry I hurt your precious feelings little one. Find your blankie and run to your safe space...
This team has to take it one game at a time. Miss St., Vanderbilt, and Florida simply aren’t very good teams. Those are games we’re supposed to win. I’m excited about the renewed confidence going forward, but this team needs to go on a tear and stack some wins. If they drop the next 2 for some reason, the season’s outlook would return to the extreme bleakness from before the 3 game win streak. There’s a glimmer of hope now, but UK is deep in the hole as far as their chance to make the tourney.
It will really challenge the Committee. Some will say "body of work" keeps UK out. Others will argue "recent trend" and early season issues w/ COVID limiting practice, no fans, UK not having Brooks should get them in.
Assuming UK can get a few games above .500, and is trending in the right direction, this will be a unique use case for them. I seem to recall a Georgia team that was just above .500 several years ago and tourney analysts argued that one more than everything else combined.

Others want to be upset and have a reason to gripe. There’s plenty of opportunity for these cats to prove themselves, but the seed we get is going to be the issue.
We have been there before like when we knocked off #1 Whitchita ST that one year.
