technically you're right sir! Nothing is certain untill that final at large bid is made. Usually when people make replies like look up a definition or turn into grammar police its because they don't have anything to add to the conversation...but whatever man...if we don't win the sec tourney we are out of the dance......and that.....my good sir....is a mother f'n fact

Instead of shouting oh my god the seasons over, NIT bound, we couldn't afford to lose...can you try and approach things in an educated manner.

Tennessee's RPI was 53 prior to the game, how far did this bad loss drop us? 2 spots, we are now 55. Our RPI is ahead of Villanova, UMASS, Virgina and Baylor all teams also on the bubble.

If Tennessee wins the next 2 they go into the SECT with a RPI around 52. The good news now is they won't get a double bye, so their first game is very winnable and on a neutral site will still give a RPI boost. You win 2 in the SECT to be 21-12 the RPI is around 45 and this team is likely dancing.

Point is, nobody knows for sure, but to sit here and freak out and declare us NIT bound, or say we have to win the SECT to have a chance is simply ridiculous and uneducated.

Reasonable approach. A helluva lot moreso than the posters on the football side that's for damn sure. None of us saw that 6 game win streak coming with this team. Bound to come back to earth a bit and today they did. Hope they can regroup, finish off auburn and Mizzou and get a couple wins in the tourney. Hopefully that gets em dancing which, if you'd have told me they even had a chance in January I'd have said you were nuts

I don't remember commenting on the likeliness of it? What was the likeliness of us going on a 6 game win streak, I'm gonna say less then 9%.

That's where we started.
I said possible but doubtful.
You went from there.
9% is pretty doubtful.

If we beat Auburn and Missouri then win one in the SEC tournament we probably get in..if we do that and win 2 in the SEC tournament we should be in. Some of this may depend on what some other schools do that are on the bubble like UT. It helped us that Alabubba lost to the gators today.

Yikes. Way to simply restate your original point. Great argument. The extra emphasis on 'fact' should help convince him!

No seriously though, nothing about that statement was factual.

Given the home and away/neutral court splits over Martins coaching career, I would say the 6 game streak has a higher percentage.

Then the 9% says we'll most likely not break 50.

I'm not talking about their win/loss projections, why you want to discuss their history with that is beyond me.

Nobody is saying lets bet the house on them winning the next 4, we're saying IF they do their RPI will be in the 40s. You said it won't, was simply pointing out that site is very good and proven to be spot on with their RPI projections.

Percentage on wins losses is a completely different topic.

You are the one dodging the issue.
I said it was doubtful we would break the 50 mark.
rpiforecast agrees, which is the source you were using for your argument.
Don't change the subject.

Ok so your original point was that it's unlikely we win 4 in a row, not that it's unlikely that if we do we'd break into the 40s?

Seemed to me you were saying even winning next 4 it's doubtful we'd get into the 40s
