Basketball do we make the Tournament?

[NTDawg]

I think the more this team plays together the better they will play. I say they make it and will playing at their best come March.

 

[curseddawgs]

Have to go into the Bama game on January 15 4-0 in SEC play

 

[NTDawg]

I think that there is good chance that we are 4-0 but I don’t think that it is mandatory. Because like I stated I think that they will continue to improve the more they together especially with Tolu in the lineup

 

[Seinfeld]

Unfortunately, the Ark win was just a Q3 win, and we're currently 0-3 in our combined Q1 and Q2 matchups. There are still plenty of opportunities left for good wins, but I think the bottom line is that we don't want to go into selection Sunday on the bubble. If we are, the resume will most likely not get us there.

I think we've got all the ability and depth in the world to land comfortably into the tournament, but I also feel like I've seen this story play out a hundred times. Every time you're just about ready to hop on the train, get ready for the other shoe to drop

 

[Quincy A. Wagstaff]

I think we are capable of 11-12 SEC wins which would be good for 4th or 5th in the SEC which would definitely have us in the tournament.

 

[curseddawgs]

Yeah I should have clarified. Need to be 4-0 based off the the trams we are playing not necessarily our tournament resume

 

[Bulldogg31]

Nope.

 

[DoomSlayer]

Yeah I should have clarified. Need to be 4-0 based off the the trams we are playing not necessarily our tournament resume

This is true. We’re @Mizzou, @Ole Miss, and home against Georgia. Those teams aren’t very good and we have the better talent, we need to win all 3 of those if we’re serious about getting in.

 

[PirateDawg]

The jury is still out. Need to see how we play more games in SEC

I think the more this team plays together the better they will play. I say they make it and will playing at their best come March.

Arky's top scorer was out of our game and we played them at home. The next two games will determine our fate in my opinion. If we lose either I don't think we will make the NCAA tourney but will still be a shot for NIT.

 

[OliveBranchDAWG]

Yeah we’ll get in

 

[mstateglfr]

If the main 9 stay healthy, yes we will get in.
On a related note, it sucks that Fountain hasnt been able to get more court time. Totally different team from last year so I get it, but still- it was neat to see his impact in conference play last season.

Agree, Garcia is taking minutes as more of a defensive-minded, energy/role player, which Gramps likes.

Fountain was a microwave last year (which we needed), but between Molinar, Shak, DJ, and Tolu, we have several guys looking for the ball already. Not to mention the black hole that is JD when he's out there.

 

[fishwater99]

Yes we will get in.. This team will bet better with T. Smith back in the mix. It's Time Howland.

Bracketology

 

[Mr. Cook]

I feel we have a very good chance as this team starts to gel. I am cautiously optimistic we will make it, but a lot can happen in 2 months in hoops (both good and not so good)

Knowing what I know now, I predict us as to be in as an #11 seed
