So say we go 4-1, lose to UF, and go 2-1 at the SECT...

We are:

21-12 (11-7)
RPI: 48
Vs. top 25: 1-4
Vs. 26-50: 3-3
Vs. 51-100: 5-5
Road record: 5-6


Not a tourney resume?

I told you, I'm sticking with 22, so I'm saying no. I see Kentucky dropping out of top 50, so that would steal a win from your top 50, and add a loss to your 50 to 100. Also rpi of 48 aint great. 21 wins would put ya'll on the bubble, and I just believe there are would be other teams on the bubble with a better resume. I respect your opinion, I'm asking you to respect mine. We will see what happens, and if ya'll do go 4 and 1 and end up with 21 wins selection Sunday will be very interesting. Good Luck. Also for the record, I want UT to make it, makes Memphis' resume a little better.

I stand corrected.

However, it was 44 on selection sunday. Also, they were 14-12 overall and had a losing conference record, and were 1-7 against the top 50 RPI.

What an awful resume, they must've benefited from crazy SOS or something to get that RPI.

As Zans touched on, that Nole's team did go 4-6 down the stretch, also had a losing conference record. Just to keep in mind.

I tried looking to see if they had an injury or something to a key player. Much like Kentucky this year. If they struggled down the stretch without a key player, they may have gotten left out despite worthy numbers.

No hate here, you backed up your opInion with good arguments...and good luck to Memphis. I have to admit Pastner has shocked me this year.

All HATE here. GO VOLS! I hate Memphis. right up there with Alabama and the gators. Probably because I live in this cesspool off a city and have to deal with the greatest bandwagoneers on the face of the planet. And Pastner didn't shock me not hard to do when your getting BIG wins at Rice and Tulsa night in and night out

not trying to be that guy or rude but the HATE for Tiger Blue runs deep in my veins!!

Why is Kentucky out??? Are they predicting what they think they might do because their RPI is still pretty solid. They don't have any big wins but they don't have any big loses either. The worst loss on their resume is Texas A&M.

Lunardi said they will be evaluated on their resume post Noel injury...right now they're 1-1 with a a blowout to Tennessee and a squeaker of a win over Vandy.

Unfortunately a lot of people are going to be looking at post-Noel UK. Which is stupid imo.

Not sure why you think it is stupid. He wouldnt be playing on the team that got into the tourney. It isnt taking away from their earlier success. Its just KY being compared to worse teams with him hurt.

Stupid was probably the wrong word. More like annoying. I just don't see why you throw everything else away.

They aren't throwing everything that UK did before Noel went down. They are simply putting more emphasis on how the team plays post-Noel since that's the team that would be going dancing. If they take care of business the rest of the season, they're definitely in. But who knows.

Whys it stupid? Is Noel gonna be in the the tourney if you make it. If you lost him mid season, and he came back to help you win 10 straight you'd want the committe to take into account your teams struggles without him.

You can't have it both ways.
