I think we only win one of the last two. This makes the next four absolutely critical if we want to make the dance, barring winning the sect. I think we can win the next four. If so, it's ON!

Only problem is 5-1 most likely gets us a first round bye, but it's to our benefit if it didn't. This is something to keep an eye on.

My projection:
6-0 to end conference

1st round bye and then win 2 in SEC T, followed by a championship win over UK.

NCAA tournament 5 seed!

If I had to bet on each game from here on out, I would pick:

Ark. = W
Ala = L
Ole MS = W
SC = W
LSU = L
Vandy = L

Win 1 in SEC tourney.

Hopefully, we win them all, but thinking with my head and not my orange colored glasses, this is how I think it plays out.

all home wins and 1 road win. 17-14 going to sec tourney. 1 win and 1 loss to end up 18-15. nit bid as a high seed. just not certain about this team at alabama and l s u. hope i'm wrong.

Honestly, I see us closing 4-2. I think we win against Arky, Ole Miss and South Carolina, and one of the games vs. Vandy, LSU, and Bama. And drop the other two. I think this would be a good showing and would be cheering my head of for the VOLs in the SEC Tourney and NIT, from across the Atlantic ocean.

I actually think (hopefully) winning a couple of games in the NIT could be the best thing for this team going into next year.

5-1 if bama is still missing some guys, 4-2 if not.
SEC Tourney depends on what seed and matchups, but we should win at least one and if we don't get UK round 2 (which would be unlikely) we can definitely win another.

we need at least a 5-1 finish and 2 wins in the tourney to have a shot at the big dance, its possible...not likely, but possible!

We could go 5-1 and we would receive a bye in the tournament. Were in a four way tie with Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Bama.

IMO, a clean sweep to finish the season and a #2 seed in the SECT. Florida will not win at Memorial and both teams will lose to Kentucky. State has issues that's going to be exposed soon.

SEC Tournament

1st Round - Bye
2nd Round - Alabama (Win)
Semis - Vanderbilt (Win)
Championship - Kentucky (Loss)

9 Seed in the NCAAT

Unless your Cats drop a couple of games to SEC East foes, 5-1 and 3 wins in the tournament would be SECT Champions.

We might lose once to florida (east). Other than that we should win out the rest of sec play (including tourney).

We would benfit more from going 6-0 and Florida an miss st winning out and vandy winning except to us. That's give us NO bye, but gives us 18 wins heading into sec t. 3 wins and loss in championship would be 21 wins and we'd be a shoe in.

Unfortunately that would take a whole lot of stuff to happen and is pretty damn near impossible.

Depends on how many people are back for the Alabama game. If Alabama has Green, I don't think Tennessee will win that one. If he's still out, then I think they take it.

I think this is how it'll go:

Arkansas - W
@Alabama - L
Ole Miss - W
@South Carolina - W
@LSU - L
Vanderbilt - W

1st round SECT - W
Quarterfinals - L

18-15
NIT

I don't think Kentucky is going undefeated in SEC play. Either Mississippi State or Florida will beat them, imo.

Noob alert. I have tried to read up on March Madness,(I have never seen it before), I am confused at how the selection process works. Do you have to win a certain amount of games to qualify like football? How do they decide who you play? Is it by wins or region?

Wow, this is going to be hard.

Alright.

The first thing is that every conference (besides the Ivy League) gets a conference championship tournament. If you win that, that gives you an automatic berth. That means 34/68 berths given.

Now, there is a group of usually athletic directors and conference commissioners that pick the other 34 teams for what we call "at large bids." These bids usually go to the Power Six conferences (Pac 12, SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East). You can get an at large bid if you are out of the Power Six, but it's harder because your RPI is usually lower. Here's what RPI is: Ratings Percentage Index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ok, thanks, I think I get it. So basically we need to win as much as we can going foward in order to be in the conversation of being chosen?

I bet there are a lot of problems, like teams not making it that statistically should have etc.

Do at Large teams ever get anywhere in the tourney? or are they mostly knocked out early?

Cheers dude, I will learn eventually.
