Bubble Teams???

Miss St winning today didn't help us. If USCjr could've upset them then I think Miss St would've been in a world of hurt.

What teams do we need to lose and play themselves out of the NCAA tourney field?

Good simple rule of thumb: Whenever you see a ranked team playing an unranked team, cheer for the ranked team.

In 2009 (and now), MSU had the easy-street schedule of facing all of the West teams twice. I wonder what it will look like next year, when we don't automatically face every "East" team twice.

I will be disappointed if we lose our annual trip to Pork BBQ Land (Columbia, SC).

I'm announcing my candidacy for driver of the Tennessee bandwagon. The Vols deserve serious consideration as one of 37 best at-large teams.

I'm afraid our RPI will doom us in the end.

What makes you think this? I can't find many places that are giving us consideration.

Lunardi has now added us as one of his "next 4 out" for whatever that's worth.

That would mean he has us in the field already

No it means with some more surge from us and faltering by others we can get in. We are in the conversation to say the least.

I'm of the mindset that this team has played themselves into a situation where they ultimately control their own destiny. With the rough beginning to the season they dug themselves into a pretty deep hole. With a good showing in the SEC Tourney which means a finals appearance the NCAA tourney committee will not be able to ignore the Vols.

This:good!:

I thought next 4 out meant that he has us as one of the first/top 8 that just miss making the tournament.

I think it means you're on the edge and would be one of the first 4 teams to not make it on.

I thought it goes "last four in" (make the tourney)

"first four out"

"next four out"

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I thought it goes "last four in" (make the tourney)

"first four out"

"next four out"

Bingo we need help and need to go to work

I'll never feel content reaching the finals...MISS ST as well as teams like VT who play their hearts out against top teams and still fall by a few points have been left out before...no reason it can't happen to us as well...we'll see though.

Also no disrespect to Lunardi...but this is better to look at The Bracket Project - Ranking the Bracketologists

Go look at miss st resume on selection Sunday and you tell me they deserved to get a bid.

I'm not a fan of matrix.

They take brackets from ANYONE, so you have some that aren't updated for weeks. Others who are just idiots, I mean go look at some of the teams who were not in in every
Bracket.
