Big dance chance?

Maui's Neutral. Big diff. Just sayin.

I agree 100% but when you say we haven't won outside of TBA that's flat out not true. If he'd have said we haven't won a road game that'd be true but to say we haven't won outside of TBA is false.

Okay. We beat a DII school outside TBA.

Yes true statement. It counted against our record therefore it counted IMO. I don't get how this is even debatable. I simply said we have won out of TBA that's all, and we have. Nobody said it had to be a top 25 d1 program I was simply saying we have won away from home that's all, not looking to argue just correcting an error by a poster.
 
Road map to the Dance looks like this:

@Vandy W 10-10 2-3
vs. Auburn W 11-10 3-3
@Kentucky L 11-11 3-4
vs. Georgia W 12-11 4-4
vs. USCjr W 13-11 5-4
@Florida L 13-12 5-5
Arkansas W 14-12 6-5
@Alabama W 15-12 7-5
Ole Miss W 16-12 8-5
@USCjr W 17-12 9-5
@LSU W 18-12 10-5
Vanderbilt W 19-12 11-5

Should that happen, we're in, regardless of what happens in the SEC tournament. Should be no worse than a 9 seed as well.

Looks good. Even a loss to a bearable bama team I still feel we'd get in. The road behind tomorrow night.

Counts in w-l record, not RPI.
Not arguing. I'm with ya man.
 
It's probably hurt rpi I remember a few years back I think it was lsu we were playing for our last game and pearl was saying how win or lose it would hurt or rpi.

They only count DI opponents in RPI so it doesn't hurt or help. In RPI and SOS rankings we're 8-10.
SOS 62
RPI 162 and rising. (Depending on which service you look at)
The win over Uconn only jumped us about 20 positions.
 
Only need to win the SEC Tourny...for the Automatic Bid

Actually, might be able to lose one more...to UK, and win the rest and stay in the SEC Tourny until Sunday.

If our RPI is not at least in the high 70's then we probably will not get in.
 
I think we'd make it in if we finished 9-3 in the SEC to make us 10-6. That'd be 18-13 with wins over #13 UF at home, #11 UConn at home, Vandy at home. Saying we finally put the pieces together and win the games we're supposed to, of course, which is a prayer at best. I'm not saying this will happen, I'm just saying if it does (and I believe 9-3 is within reason) then I think we'd be in the tourney, especially considering the addition of Stokes.

I see our 3 losses coming from @UF, @UK, @Vandy, @Bama - we steal one of these and beat Vandy in Knoxville.

GO VOLS

This is pretty much what I see as the most likely scenario if we were to make the dance. I think 18-13 gets us in, that means with stokes we are 10-5. I think that resume gets us in but atleast one win at sec t will help too.
 
Chances: win the SEC tournament, or beat UK @ Rupp, beat Vandy twice, and not lose anymore game against weaker competition.
 
Bet money there's a chance or bet money that they do?

Well yes, it's mathematically possible.

But it would be like Redskins fans saying at the beginning of November, "We don't have a QB, we haven't done jack on the road, but we might still go to the Super Bowl!"

Get real.

I like everyone now projecting all these road wins, not one week after we lost to a garbage Georgia team on the road.

I'm sure. :loco:

so your willing to bet money they dont, what are the odds you'll give on this? i see you are a washington fan, thus the reference, its been a rough few years for ya guys. if tennessee beats vandy will you change your stance at all?
 
Must go at least 8-4 the rest of the way to finish 17-14, 9-7 in SEC and then get to the Finals of the SEC Tourney or Go 9-3 the rest of the way and get to Semi Finals of SEC TOurney.
 
At this point, every game is big. There can be no more "Georgias." If we take each game seriously and give the same kind of effort that we have against UF, UK, and UConn, we just might be surprised.
 
Exactly but apparently the sec is now a juggernaut and that is impossible.
Hey hey, the SEC is pretty tough this season. Kentucky, Florida, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, and Alabama are all going to make the tournament. Arkansas and Ole Miss are both bubbles. I wouldn't consider Tennessee a bubble team yet, but they are certainly playing well enough to where they could become one in the future.
 
im not hating on anyones opinion but in reality, it's a long LONG shot at best.

the facts.....

1) we are a horrible road team and we have 4 of the sec's top 5 left on the road (uk - which is probably the toughest road game in the whole country, uf and vandy, which will be plenty difficult, and bama, who probably plays tougher defense than us)

2) we are poor offensively and far too inconsistant. Look at the long scoring droughts the last two games. we fall back on our defense, which wins games, but we have to get production.

3) the sec is weak. I see 4 maybe 5 teams going dancing. Uk, uf, msu, and vandy are more than likely all dancing. We need teams like arkansas NOT to beat teams like michigan, especially since they hammered the same team we lost to. Basically, we need help. Also out of conference...the acc, big east, and big 12 all look really balanced. Balanced conferences steal more bids. No way anyone can argue, besides the pac 12 maybe, that the sec is close to the bottom of the power conferences.

I aint being negative but it seems like everytime we beat a decent team, we talk about dancing. I just wish we could win a couple on the road first before we talk about dancing.

I lol'd at #3. Maybe in past years. This year, no.

You mention 8 possible teams I just don't see that. I think 5 at most, right now uk uf and miss st would be the only 3 locks I think. Vandy needs to have a strong resume as the committee will be hesitant to put them in with past years debacles. I don't see ole miss, and Arkansas helped their case with Michigan but they still have work to do I believe. I really see a max of 5 teams getting in unless someone not getting in wins the sec t.

That's not as impossible at it sounds. That's actually not a bad record with only two bad losses on our record.
 
I still say we don't have a realistic shot to get to the NCAAs. We will either have to come close to winning out or win the SEC tourney. I love this team, and if Cuonzo would have had more time to practice before the season started, we would surely have a better record. I just think it's going to be too little too late for this season. Certainly hope I'm wrong! Luckily, I have been wrong about a few things so far lol.
 
I thought we needed to finish 11-5 in the SEC and beat UConn. We got the UConn win. Now, we need an unexpected win to make up for the UGA loss.
