ACC is trash top to bottom and the lower half of the big 12 is also over rated. 4 and 5 win teams in conference in the big 12 should not be on the bubble. Sorry, who cares who you played you gotta win some of the games.
They can play it close but I certainly don't want Arkansas winning. They lose and sounds like they will be on the other side of the bracket from us in the SECT along with Bama.
Yeah I got ya, I thought you meant In terms of making the tournament, I think they are in for sure now but yeah they need to keep winning and get some help if they want a higher seed
Like I said in another thread, we win our last two and win the SEC tourney and we are a number 3 seed. After the top 7 teams in the current rankings only 4 or 5 teams in minor conferences will have less than 8 losses (and only a few with 8) , and UT will probably be one of those few with 8 losses and we will have beaten them at least both times we met them. We win out and we'll be ranked between 10th and 12th in the polls and the Net rankings.
Agreed. Shew, it’s gonna be a tough game, especially with them getting Smith back. It’ll take a concentrated effort for 40 minutes. Everyone will have to be locked in. I’m assuming it’ll be also be their senior day.
Read an ESPIN+ article this morning that has Kentucky as a tournament lock after this 4 game winning streak! Go Cats!
Not likely to get to #3 seed man you are shooting way over the moon now. Also we have all said it 100 times winning the SEC tournament does nothing for you that game on Sunday does not factor in remember the year we won the SEC tournament in 2016 over Texas A&M ?
There are 3 teams that are 16-13. Not sure if all are considered on the bubble but think West Virginia is if not mistaken. What’s funny is that they are only two of their wins being losses away from not even qualifying for the NIT as they would have a losing record. They barely nipped Auburn at home during the Big 12-SEC challenge. Think they are likely to lose their last 2 and finish 16-15 and be out regardless.
Just insane how much that bottom tier of the Big 12 is overrated. Comical really.
Agreed. Iowa state has pretty much rode their early win over #1 UNC (at the time) all year long. Best win OOC from there is probably ST. John’s at 17-13. WV best wins OOC was probably Florida and Auburn of which neither are going to make the tournament. Auburn still an outside chance but not likely to happen. OSU’s best OOC win was Wichita St, and Texas Tech is even hard to pick their best win OOC as their schedule was that weak and they lost 8 straight conference games.
Auburn needs to win one of their last two remaining games. Tall order against Tennessee and Alabama.
Yes, I rarely root for Ohio State but it was a no-brainer to root for them in this one. This loss should more than offset Illinois' win over Northwestern at home.
That’s what I was thinking, if they keep winning I can see them getting a 6 seed which would be good
