Let’s look ahead...

Does a 7-2 (losses at Vandy and vs Tennessee) finish and a 2-1 SECT get us in the NCAAT? That would be 25-9 and a handful of top50 RPI wins likely.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

This team has been very competitive in SEC play. We easily could have won either Ole Miss in Oxford or Auburn @ home. Hell @ Bama & @ Kentucky were close very late. It is not out of the question for this team to get hot & be on the bubble entering the SECT.

Yeah, finish like that and we're in for sure or else somebody's got some 'splainin to do to the Adidas folks.

Losing at Vandy would not be ideal due to their poor rpi, but if we go 10-8 or better we'll more than likely be in the tourney.

Not a prediction, just a discussion on what it would take to get in. You don’t have to participate.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

We would be in the discussion for sure.

I didn't

say you couldn't start the thread, chief.

I just think its silly to throw out ncaa predictions after one game.

You don't have to respond.

Why are you such an insufferable ****? What joy do you get out being a perpetual wet blanket?

Got an A+ in that one, but some dude in goggles and a headband got the class highest grade.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Calm down

Sally.

Im just messing with you.

Jesus. Sensitive much?

Where do you get that I'm always being a wet blanket? Hell im one of the few that ever talk this the team and program up.

 

[Philly Dawg]

That is a very long shot. However, we do have a good chance to finish .500 in the league with a decent overall record and play in the post season, even if its the NIT.

 

[She Mate Me]

No predictions from me, but we can play with and beat everybody left on our schedule and the two toughest teams left (based on current SEC standings only), UT and Bama, are home games. They have a nice opportunity in front of them.

I think, in that particular scenario, it would be 50/50. We’d be squarely on the bubble. In that scenario we’d be 11-7 in SEC play. I said before conference play started that 12-6 was what we had to do to feel safe, based on the lackluster nonconference schedule. I still stand by that prediction, but the overall top to bottom strength of the league as well as 2 additional wins in the SECT might be enough to push us over the top. Either way, the past few weeks clearly show the tremendous strides that we have made in year 3 (as predicted by many who have followed Howland’s career), so I am very pleased with where we are at. Genuinely excited for the future for the first time in a long time in regards to the basketball program.

Also, FYI, we would only be 24-9 overall. The committee is not going to count that North Georgia win.

If we finish 11-7 in this year's SEC we are in the NCAA Tourney. It's that simple.

No wonder we're so bad at it. It's right after lunch, and everybody (including the Professor) is asleep.
