College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

I say root for Alabama over Auburn, I think both teams probably go 2-2 to close their seasons...

Alabama’s remaining schedule:
@ Auburn
Arkansas
Florida
@ Texas A&M

Auburn’s remaining schedule:
Alabama
@ Florida
@ Arkansas
South Carolina

If we win tomorrow shoot for the stars. If we lose War Eagle

My biggest issue with it is rooting for rivals and it may never actually help us then a week later we have changed positions.

Makes me feel weird inside hoping Kentucky wins.

I’m not sitting there wearing a UK shirt and chanting Go Cats!!! It’s just sitting there hoping a teams wins, if they do great, if they lose well it’s UK and that’s always fine too.

I agree...unfortunately we won’t know that result.

 

[BigZiti09]

If I’m picking a realistic finish I want...

1. Auburn
4. Bama

3. Florida
2. Tennessee

For tourney seeds.

I guess I take the opposite approach. Root against them then if they win I tell myself it was good for us.

Ole Miss had lost 7 straight and was 0-9 on the road this season.

Cuonzo the slump buster.

I have a feeling you’re going to have a a multiple tie for 4th place, we need to avoid that.

6 one half dozen

Mizzu has an issue I think. They are going to have win at Vandy or beat Arkansas at home to Dance

Most Cuonzo thing ever.

 

[BruinVol]

Miss state has a real shot but that Vandy loss is stinging them badly. I hate it they lost that one

 

[BigZiti09]

Side note. Tyree for ole miss has a quick first step. He travels to make it but still very quick.

Yup...they gotta go 1-2 down the stretch or they’re in trouble.

On that topic I’m very curious to see how this shakes out for SEC teams, the “tourney” team have gotta stop losing to the bottom 3 i.e Missouri to Ole Miss

Can we start calling Cuonzo Mr. Bubble??

Start?

 

[OrangeAllDay]

Start?

Touché 😂

So you have A&m in at 7-11?

 

[BruinVol]

Our trip to MSU is going to be hornets nest. They are going to have a hell of a lot to play for

Yea...projected RPI inside of 40, would be a historical snub.

Really kinda hoping they lose to SC to avoid this...but then again we want them to win to remain Top 75 so it’s a Q1 opportunity.

Looks like right at 40. I hope we find out. Would show serious respect for the SEC

Even right at 40 would still be historical...committee also ditched the “last 10” a few years back and say games in November mean just as much as games in March, so there’s that working for them too.

Florida is interesting to me, not many are talking about them but their RPI is in the 60’s, they are right there with Georgia and Mississippi State, they need to close strong.
