Call me delusional or an eternal optimist, I really don't care. What do we have to do to make the NCAA tournament?

Winning tonight would have been a great start.

Win all of their remaining home games and two on the road will do it along with one win the SEC tournament.

win and beat teams you should beat. this team is fun to watch just because you never know what your going to get but you know they are going to play their azzes off.

Couldn't agree more. Did anyone else see Cuonzo lick his fingers at the end of the game like he was still playing. He has a quiet intensity that I like and the players seem to respond to.

A solid finish this season and we will end up with a high NIT seed. That is the target. Unless we hit some crazy stride and can win the SEC tourney that is what it will take to get into the field.

We can shoot for the NCAA, but this is an NIT team at best unless Stokes becomes a major player and Golden turns into a great point guard. That isn't going to happen this year.

This year is a learning experience with a new coaching staff. Improve every game out this year and we only lose Tatum and Woolridge for next year's team. Next year we have a shot provided there are no injuries.

I think we have a good chance to be a top 25 team next year.

We're going to have to win the SEC tournament. 12-4 in the SEC is asking too much. Winning 6 of 8 at home and 2-4 of 7 on the road is probably best case scenario.

I completely agree zjc. With some unity and having all the pieces in place, next season should be good to us.

The good news?

I see only three automatic losses on there.

So, if they win everything else...:)

This team could make a run in the SEC tourney if everything falls into place. However, I would venture to say that the CBI is probably the destination for this squad.

True, true. You never know with this league with how inconsistent most teams are. I don't see us beating Kentucky or UCONN. I certainly wouldn't feel all that confident in many of our remaining road games.

I was talking about 3 guarenteed losses in the SEC. Forgot about UConn.

Boy...if we could pull that off...

The early part of the schedule is a juggernaut. I thought we would start out 0-2 and we're at 1-1 so far. The UGA game on the road is a crucial game for this team. We have to play Ky, UCONN and Candy 3 out of the next 4 games. That's a tough slate. If we can win 2 of the next 4 games, that would be an accomplishment with this team.
