I don't know enough about basketball:

Do we have a chance to make it to March Madness?

So, what's the least amount of wins a tourney team can have?

Gosh, we should have won that UGA game, the first Memphis game, and that crappy in state team we lost to ( was that Austin Peay?)

Edit: and the UK game

WE still have a tough schedule, to even get into the NIT. But I know we can do it, but it is still a long season.

Indeed. I do know a lot about ball, but I don't follow RPI's and all the other stuff to know what constitutes a 'bubble team'. It is an honest question: is there any hope we might get in? Or is it too early to tell?

There not an exact number it depends on who you are and your conference and who guy have beaten and lost to. This team would need to win atleast 18 games and 1 in the sec tourney. If we beat vandy Tuesday that'll be a start.

I think the possibility is low, but I do believe there is a chance even without winning the SEC tourney. We've only lost two games that we "should have" won with this group of kids; Oakland and Austin Peay. Our other loses are to Duke, Memphis x 2, Pitt, CoC (toss up), Miss St, Kentucky, and Georgia (toss up). To add to that, we have two wins against top 15 teams to include the defending national champs. The national recognition will certainly help, but the road woes will hurt. I think it's possible, but it is an uphill climb.

We aren't technically out but room for error is small now. Pretty much must win all remaining games except 2 or 3 at most.

As i said a win Tuesday and it's more plausible, room for error is very small though.

It's a very tough road, but I think if we can start winning our close games and can add some more quality wins, we might get lucky and get in.... If we can make a positive change with Stokes, maybe the committee would consider the fact that we now a different team with him in the lineup.

Eight of our ten losses have been close. We lost to Duke by 10 and the second loss to Memphis was by 18. All others are single digit losses, to include a 3 point loss to Kentucky. I won't say Kentucky didn't deserve the win, but UT certainly played more than "close" throughout the entire game.

Way too many tough road games left to even think about getting in based on our body of work during the season. Have to win the SEC tourney. So your answer is we have a 1 in 12 chance of making the NCAA tourney.

Georgia is not really a toss up game for a team that legitimately believes it has a shot at the tourney. That is a game you have to win.

That's utter silliness. Saying we have to win at rupp to make the tourney is just insane. We are currently 2-3 in sec and 9-10 overall. If we go 9-2 losses to uk and Florida away that puts us at 11-5 in conference and 18-12 overall. I think a first round sec t loss and were still in. I fully expect the committee to take stokes into consideration when evaluating us.
