It comes down to Arky IMO

If the Vols win their last two and win one in the SEC tourney, I think that will be good enough to make the NCAA tourney. If they lay an egg in the SEC tourney or lose one of the remaining last two or both, then they're toast, IMO.

What are we now calling quality wins and bad losses?
Formula must have changed somewhere.

Not at all...

We currently have 2 quality wins, you said as much. If Arkansas wins out they become a quality win, beating Missouri is also another quality win. So that gives us 4.

Yep, just didn't envision the season coming down to race to be among the last 4 in. But, at this point we need to get in and make the best showing. This team can be extremely dangerous if it can get consistent outside shooting from Barton and get on a win streak.

I agree they can be dangerous. Hopefully they get the right mindset as a team going forward.

Bunch of apologists up in here. You're not a true fan if you're hoping for the Vols to make the tourney!

I only see 2 rpi 1-50 wins. Arky and MO won't be.
Might the committee consider them quality. Arky yes if they finish. Not sure about MO.

How would Arkansas not be a quality win if they win out? Which is what I said in my original post, if they and we win out.

Missouri will be close, but one of Arkansas' win is barely hanging on to top 50 as well, so they may only end up with 3 as well. So 3 for them, 3 for us.

Everything else is in our favor.

Bout what I said on Arky.
They'd have the edge in bad losses. We'll have 3.
If UTEP wins out they're at 103.

And if they win some in conference? Right now they look like they may win their conference tourney.

What about if Arkansas wins out and Missouri ends up top 50, and Minnesota loses? We have 4 quality wins and they only have 3?

That'd be one of them stolen bid sitcheations.
Even worse for all the bubble chasers.

What would be a stolen bid situation? UTEP winning the conference USA tournament?

That's a 1 bid league, so not sure how that's a bid stealer.

When the roll is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yon---der,
When the roll is called up yonder
We'll be there.

But we better win the next 3 to be square,
Or at least the next 2 if we dare.

Not forgetting the selection committee makes men swear.

Both are in play in games on Joey Brackets March 3 update. This is tight! No slip ups possible to still get in!
