Could Former Tennessee Vol Kelly Jolly-Harper Keep The Lady Vols Out of NCAA's?

And now they are pouring it on!

68-47 over a top 25 team. I know people weren’t too keen on hearing Kelly (Jolly) Harper’s name thrown around but her teams ball movement and defense looks pretty good. She also scheduled a good schedule which her team took a beating but it is obviously paying off. They also played Mizzou and Gonzaga close while beating Drake once this year.

Missouri State is about to steal a bid. If the LVs get in, it may be as the last team in. They’re going to be sweating it big time tomorrow.

I know you're just using a figure of speech, but the Lady Bears definitely earned their bid.

If Kellie's team's win knocks out Holly's team, I won't shed a tear.

Major congrats to Kellie. Well-deserved Coach of Year honor and a very young team coming back for 2-3 years.

If Kellie's team's win knocks out Holly's team by beating the #21 team in the nation 94-79, I won't shed a tear.

Recap: Going dancing! Lady Bears win MVC Tournament title, claim NCAA Tournament bid

Her team played some hard nosed D and ball movement was pretty good... they also didn’t take their foot off the gas and kept pushing

Ironic: Mo St win could possibly knock LV out of tournament and at same time improve Kelley Harper's resume for consideration if Holly leaves.

I figure there are nine teams competing for the last four spots. Here they are with their overall and conference W/L, and their RPI, SOS and Power Rating number and rank.

Ohio 27-5 14-4 RPI .6020 (#34) SOS .5290 (#90) PR: 77.90 (#21) Wins: Purdue, Buffalo

James Madison 25-5 17 -2 RPI: .5962 (#36) SOS .5033 (#142) PR: 75.63 (#31) Wins: ---

Indiana 20-12 9-11 RPI: .5818 (#47) SOS .5703 (#41) PR: 71.16 (#61) Wins: UCLA, SoDak, Iowa. MSU

St. Mary's 20-11 13-7 RPI: .5796 (#48) SOS .5536 (#58) PR: 70.73 (#71) Wins: BYU

Auburn 21-9 10-8 RPI: .5795 (#50) SOS .5454 (#71) PR: 72.69 (#48) Wins: Mizzou, LSU

USC 17-13 7-12 RPI: .5773 (#53) SOS .5782 (#29) PR: 69.06 (#83) Wins: UCLA, Utah, Cal

TCU 20 -10 10 -9 RPI: .5740 (#57) SOS .5500 (#64) PR: 71.44 (#59) Wins: WV, Iowa St.

Tennessee 19 -12 8-10 RPI .5735 (#59) SOS .5752 (#35) PR: 70.82 (#70) Wins: Texas, Missouri

Arkansas 20-14 9-11 RPI: .5685 (#67) SOS .5670 (#45) PR: 69.19 (#80) Wins: Tex A&M, TN, SC

It looks like Charlie Creme still has them in. RealTime RPI has them out.

The NCAA revealed the “debatable 8”

Tennessee among seven tourney bubble teams

JMU, St. Mary’s, nor USC were in the convo to be considered ... Princeton was also considered but won its conference so that opened up an at large bid

Hmmm.... So the Committee had Princeton "on the bubble" before their game with the #1 Ivy seed Penn... Does that mean they had Penn already in? If that's the case, that would mean that there were only three spots left for the seven other teams. Or did they have Princeton rated higher than Penn, and were putting them on the bubble as a second team from the Ivy?

And I bet UCF was a little surprised to see themselves on the bubble since no one else had had them there. They have by far the highest RPI of the bubble teams and not a bad SOS (although artificially inflated by playing UConn three times!)

Has the NCAA ever released the names of the teams on the bubble like this before? Are they doing it this year so that ESPN gets better ratings on the selection show? Do they in fact plan to have cameras with Holly and the team during the reveal?

Lobo on ESPN seemed pretty certain that UCF, Tenn, Auburn and Indiana are in. Does she have inside information? If she's right, that means that Creme nailed it, since he had Ohio as the last team in, and the Missouri State upset took their bid. You have to wonder about how independently the NCAA and ESPN are operating. Is the NCAA just rubber stamping Creme's decisions?

We'll see what tomorrow reveals.

I think Fulmer has talked to committee and said please let us in this year so we can keep the streak alive. I will fire Holly and this will never be a problem again. Just kidding.

Don't get our hopes up then take the air out.

Surely if Princeton won its conference but was on the bubble,, they expected some other team (Penn?) to win. Penn is RPI 57; Tennessee is 60.
