February 8, 9:00 pm - @ Kentucky
February 12, 6:00 pm - @ Florida
February 16, 7:00 pm - South Carolina
February 19, 1:00 pm - Georgia
February 22, 9:00 pm - @ Vanderbilt
February 26, 6:00 pm - Mississippi State
March 3, 7:00 pm - @ South Carolina
March 6, 12:00 pm - Kentucky

What's our record in during this stretch? Where will we win or lose? What's the magic number for us to get in to the NCAA Tournament?

I'll go with 5-3 with losses at Kentucky, at Florida, and at Vandy. 4-4 is probably more realistic. I could also see Georgia beating us at home. I think a win @ Rupp is very doable but I don't see it happening with UK on a two game losing streak. I also seriously doubt Hopson will play. We're very capable of losing/winning all of the above. We'll more than likely lose a game we shouldn't to South Carolina or Mississippi State but I'll be optimistic.

Your take?

We'll beat any ranked teams and lose to the unranked teams when we throw up a last second 29 footer that doesn't go.

How many do we have to win to make the tournament? 5? We have the #1 SOS and 13 RPI so I figured 11 losses wouldn't keep us out.

I'm just glad that Bruce will be coaching those games. As head coach, he has a much better winning percentage than Tony Jones who now stands at a mediocre 62.5%.

I have no other basis for saying this: We will win against UK on March 6 because it's my birthday.

You guys have no idea how excited I am that it played out this way....I know, I'm a nerd.

Our SOS will probably be about 4-8 range by selection day. I feel we will finish that stretch at 4-4 which will put us at like 19 wins. I preface the 4-4 though as giving up hope on the first 2 of @ KY and @ FL. Without Scotty being healthy I don't think we have much of a shot.

We need 5 more wins. Don't know if we can get in with 4, even with our quality wins.

Considering we struggle with UK even we have been better than them in the Pearl era, I'm not expecting a W at Rupp.

Nor at Vandy or at Florida. We need to win our home games and win at SC.

5-3 is the safe pick. I am concerned over the fact that KY will have two extra days of rest/preparation on us for our home game with them. They play on that Tuesday, while we play on that Thursday. At least the game is on Sunday, unlike this past week when we were dealt the Thursday-Saturday stretch. I'd like to see what everybody's record is on those swings. The Thursday primetime slot is good for the league, but everyone who plays in it has a disadvantage going into their next game. The most egregious was last year when Arkansas went to Rupp on a Saturday after playing a Thursday game, while KY had the whole week off.

0-8. Slive decides to ban us from SEC tourney, dont make AA. Pearl fired after last game. TBA collapses in mysterious ESPN originated terrorist attack. Games must go back to Stokley and PF will be next bb coach and AD to keep bb in its place at UT. (for PF to be AD, of course Hamilton must be fired with Pearl.)
