You don't think 13-5 gets them in?

12-6 would even give them a shot imo.

Conference record isn't all that important when they would have zero top 50 wins and a pretty average SOS...Georgia went 12-6 and got left out a couple years ago.

8-2 and they'd be in, 7-3 and I don't think they're a lock by any means but would have themselves on the bubble.

Any idea what 7-3 would put their RPI at?

Thanks. I think that would be good enough but I respect the other side.

Judging on years past it would leave you right on either side of the cut line, likely depending on how many bids are stolen or any teams that make a run in their conference tourneys...IMO not a safe spot by any means.

Like I said they've got their toughest games ahead of them, opportunities are there for them to add some nice wins.

I feel pretty good about tonight. The vandy/a&m, and Dayton/Fordham are the only two I think we may get hurt on. And of course, we have to take care of business tonight.

I'm not following why we want some of those to lose. Wouldn't we want KY to beat GA since we could possibly be battling GA for a spot? Why do we want UNC to lose to Pitt?

probably be better if A&M beat Vandy.
With Vandy's SOS they're one of the teams that could challenge for fifth in the SEC(rpi wise) if they should start winning consistently.
Of course we have to beat teams like Auburn if we want to stay in the race.
