Do we really need/want to be in the top 4 going into the SEC tournament?

Conferences don't gets bids; teams do. There isn't a set amount of teams who will make it from the SEC, and it could range anywhere from 4 to 6, based on how everyone finishes.

I think everyone understands that, what's your point?

* not being an ass just curious what you are saying, because last I knew most people knew this.

I don't like to do math, but I know we are apparently worried about getting a specific seed.

What about the OTHER teams that are close to our position? Would there be a team that LOSES on purpose, knowing that they would face a specific opponent in the SEC T?

I was reading a couple of posts wrong. I was reading it as Tennessee needs to beat Alabama in the standings in order to get a bid, but the posts were talking about a bye. My bad.

Yea because the consensus of people on here realize finishing 3rd is our best chance to make a run.

In order to finish 3rd we have to have bama lose and finish ahead of them.

Finishing 4 or 5 matches us with UK early on 3rd doesn't. That's all.

Games today that influence our progress:
TN over SC of course
KY over Vandy
Ole Miss over LSU
Miss St over Alabama
Things will begin to get very interesting if these happen.

If we win out, which is the only way things can get interesting, then the LSU game today has no meaning.

Actually it influences our RPI. We beat Ole Miss. When they win it helps us. Not much but at this point every little bit helps.

UT is not getting into the tournament with an RPI around 100.
Granted if they win 8 of the next 10 the RPI will go down substantiatlly.
But not enough to get in. It needs to be under 60 to claim you got robbed by the selection committee.

Yes , we've heard that before.
No one's saying it will happen but if we were to win the next 5 games , our RPI could be in the 50s.
First of the 5 is on the road so who knows which team will show up.

And if they win the next 3 and 2 in sec T their RPI will be below 60.

I'm telling you, Yeguete is our toughest player and him going down for the season could have been the nail in the coffin. Hope I'm wrong.

sorry fellas, but i don't think we will win at l s u. this would put us in the nit. that's really where we need to be going, anyway. that tourney would give this team more chances to win a few games and get some valuable experience for next year. just my :twocents:

I don't think we really have a chance to make the NCAA tournament unless we win the entire conference tourney and get that automatic bid...I think it would be best for this team to go to the NIT and maybe make a run to the final 4 in NY...Going to the big dance would be very short-lived, and an NIT run would give the kids a taste and CMM could use that as good motivation for next season

This team isn't guaranteed a first round nit win.

We will e playing a road game in the first round of nit.

If we play NCAA its neutral court. You never I repeat NEVER take nit over ncaa

First update after the game UT at 92. So a 11 point jump for beating SoCar on the road.
