Does UM need to win more than 1 game this weekend to make the SEC Tourney?
Likely yes, and here is why. If we win only 1 game this weekend, we need one of 4 things to happen:
1) Arkansas loses the series to MSU (I doubt you'll help us here)
2) South Carolina loses the series to UT (possible, but not likely)
3) Florida gets swept by Vandy (possible, but not likely)
4) Alabama gets swept at UGA (possible, but also not likely)
If we only go 1-2 this weekend, and none of those 4 things happens, then we're No. 9 in the SEC and watching the action at Hoover on TV.
I think we're in a regional as long as we make the SEC tourney. If we miss out on the SEC tourney, then it'll be an anxious selection time for the team.
Of course, if we win 2 games at UK, then we lock up an SEC tourney bid and likely an NCAA bid. Win 1, and we're sweating. In a way, I wouldn't be upset if we failed to get an invite to a regional. I think our team has had a sense of entitlement this year, and doing something like missing the NCAA tourney might be enough to let them know that nothing is going to come for free. Sometimes teams/programs need a wake up call. Missing regionals would definitely qualify as a wake up call.
