I agree. however, it would depend on who that 1 tourney game is. if we're playing usc, vandy, uga, or om then we will need to beat one of the top 4 seeds too.Looking at the 8 games remaining on our regular season schedule, I think we have 5 "must win" games and then we probably need 2 out of the other 3 or 1 out of 3 plus an SEC Tourney game win. That would put us at 22-9 (plus whatever gravy happens in the SECT) or 22-10 overall with a 10-8 or 9-9 regular season conference record.

I considered LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Vandy as Must Wins due to them being potentially bad losses. I went ahead and classified Texas A&M as a Must Win since it's a bubble team at home and wouldn't get the same deference as a home loss to Kentucky.
Then I think we need 2 from Arkansas, Kentucky, and Missouri or 1 and a Tourney game win.
I don’t get that either. State is two places higher in the Net than Mizzou. They do have a better conference record so I guess that counts for somethingHow is Missouri still in as an 8 seed? Crazy he has them ahead of Florida, Kentucky and Texas A&M.
We have the opportunity to damage the resumes of Kentucky, Arkansas, & Texas A & M on this list while improving our's.
At this point there’s little room for error and they probably need to win a couple in the SEC Tournament.In other words, our chances are slim and none ? And Slim just saddled his horse
I think we can be in the discussion going 5-3 and be in at 6-2. 7-1 is no questions asked.Looking at the 8 games remaining on our regular season schedule, I think we have 5 "must win" games and then we probably need 2 out of the other 3 or 1 out of 3 plus an SEC Tourney game win.

That's going to be a very tall order. I think 5-3 is a lot more likely than anything better, and 4-4 may be more likely than 5-3.Looking at the 8 games remaining on our regular season schedule, I think we have 5 "must win" games and then we probably need 2 out of the other 3 or 1 out of 3 plus an SEC Tourney game win.

8 does seem pretty high. Compared to us they are 17-6 to our 15-8, and the two game difference is made up of SEC games (5-5 vs 3-7).I don’t get that either. State is two places higher in the Net than Mizzou. They do have a better conference record so I guess that counts for something
I think we're probably well out at 4-4.That's going to be a very tall order. I think 5-3 is a lot more likely than anything better, and 4-4 may be more likely than 5-3.
You're probably right, but at 5-3 I think we're going to need some tourney wins.I think we can be in the discussion going 5-3 and be in at 6-2. 7-1 is no questions asked.

It's going to take a minor miracle.So…same song, different year.
Slightly kidding, this has been the best basketball season in a while, but this yearly (selective memory) bubble watch sucks. Hoping Jans has us discussing whether we’ll be a 4-5 seed this time next year.
Lunardi has Southern Miss in right now as the Sun Belt automatic qualifier.Wonder how many NIT tickets we'll get in Hattiesburg?
I appreciate that we did not really drop from last year given that e have a new coach and all. I am encouraged by the effort Jans is getting out of this squad and I'm cautiously optimistic about his trajectory.So…same song, different year.

Actually helped us because we don't need Georgia slipping to a quad 3 or 4 loss.Georgia didn't do anybody any favors by beating Kentucky today. Kentucky will steal somebody's spot out of the big dance unless they unravel entirely. They are not that good this year, but just good enough to screw someone's year up at the end.
