Does 22 wins get us

Nothing is guaranteed when the NCAA Selection Committee is involved. Also, given the way we are playing right now, we won't get to 22 wins unless we play sometime into the summer.

22 wins???? After the performances this past week and you really think 22 wins is possible?

Ranked #38, #2 SOS, #26 RPI, Wins against 16 G-Town, 23 Marquette, Florida, and Siena who are all Tournament teams.

I think that is a lot better resume than all teams not currently top 20 can put together. We will make the tournament guarenteed, when the SEC gets 5-6 picks due to Slive on the committee, we will be a lock for one of those spots. Calm down with this "NIT talk", no need to panic, just time to speed up the learning process of our youngin's before March.

Here is what I actually go by to determine tournament teams....Community - CBSSports.com

Results, not predictions is what I use to determine our teams future.

I think it has been said by some of the more intelligent posters on here that home 2-2 over the final four SEC reg season games would get us in. I would probably agree, but winning 3+ certainly would move us further way from the bubble, especially if we can get some road/SEC tourney wins.

Going 2-2 down the stretch gives Tennessee 18 wins. I don't think that's going to be enough without at least one or maybe two wins in the SECT.

Apparently, nobody else around here is looking at the bottom of the pool of potential NCAA teams. Winning the two remaining home games will get Tennessee comfortably into the field.

You think even with a first round loss in the SECT? I hope that's the case because I'm not confident Tennessee can win either of its remaining road games.

Yes. The bottom of the pool is awful. There will be 5-10 teams in the field with resumes worse than Tennessee's if they merely win their home games.

even a loss to sc and florida means we'd still get an sec tourney opener vs bama, and 19 wins would easily do it; 18 is probably enough.

How much did Maryland's win on Saturday hurt our chances? I know their just one team, but not only they continue to win....Kentucky, South Carolina, and Florida....teams like Creighton, George Mason, Davidson, Butler, Utah State; these teams could also prevent us from getting in if they don't win their conference tourney.

Im sure the ACC and the Big East will swallow a bunch of at-large bids as well. The Big 12 has Kansas, Baylor, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas State (maybe)

Then the PAC-10 could steal a few extra at-large spots as well. Who knows, Tennessee could be left out in the cold if they don't win at least 4 more games IMO.

GO VOLS

There is absolutely no way George Mason, Davidson, or Utah State get an at large bid ahead of Tennessee, provided the Vols win the two remaining home games.
