UT is still way off the bubble.


all this bubble talk is dependent on winning out or going 5-1

i agree, but yet they have Indiana State at 16-11 (6-7 MVC) RPI of 64 on the bubble??

and they include Arkansas with an RPI of 74 as a fringe team.

TN's RPI of 63 is higher and similar records should at least merit "fringe" talk. Really doesn't matter though, Win and we're in...

Lose and we're out.

That's because we aren't on the Bubble lol. We have to win out or only lose 1 down the stretch to get ourselves on it.

It's not a surprise we aren't listed. As stated by others, we have some work to do

If we win @ Texas A and M and play Florida super close or win, that is when we will get mentioned in the article. However most likey they will not begin to mention us until the last minute if we do well.

Without our point guard.....and they struggled to beat us then...the final score wasnt reflective of the game...but basically you are right...we go 5-1 rest of the way(???) and win two in the SEC tourney and we MIGHT get on the bubble...losing to Georgia and Ole Miss at home KILLED us...

It's all about the chatter.

Last year UT didn't have the numbers but had some hype going down the stretch and so they were "on the bubble"

This year UT has much better numbers but no hype. So they are not "on the bubble".

Beating Florida at home would go a along way towards correcting the problem.

I remember maybe about 6 years ago I think...Kentucky was 15-10 and they were talking about them being on the bubble. Just win baby....

Come on guys, of course we're not on the bubble yet. Much work to do. Must beat either Mizzou or gators and everybody else. Plus a win or 2 in SEC tourney to get in. Plus, SEC does not get benefit of the doubt this year so that's working against us. I'm just enjoying watching this team finally come together and play worthy of their talent. Hope they get in NCAA tourney but its really out their hands beyond winning the games in front of them. But they're just not there - the bubble- yet.

If we go 5-1 beating either Florida or Mizzou, AND win one game in the SEC tourney then it would be hard not to put us in the big dance.

I don't mind not being included on the "bubble," but IMO, we are ahead of a couple of teams that are listed.

I would think our resume (especially non-conference) stacks up with Arkansas, but their win over UF gets them that recognition.

I wished Tennessee could replay at least 3 games over again.That way our resume would be better.
