I believe in this team winning 5 more games.

Just need to defend home court. Could even drop one as long as they take care of business at LSU.

Edit: I could also see them stealing one from either USC or UK. Basically they are all winnable games.

ETSU over Wofford
App St. over UALR
Kansas St over Kansas.

Not necessarily want KSU to win. If they're on the invited side of the bubble, they'll potentially take a spot that TN could be in contention for.

Also might want Ark LR to run away with the Sun Belt and win their conference tournament to keep it a one bid league. On the other hand TN might want Ark LR to lose more for the same reason. They're 16-6 overall which is the best in the league along with Tx-Arlington. Bottom line for the Sun Belt is that TN wants a runaway conference regular season champion to also win their conference tournament.

Edit: never mind, I was looking at Arkansas State

Sunbelt is a one bid league regardless.

Kansas State is almost a lock as it stands, better off they continue to boost our SOS and make that win look better, very little chance of them slipping up enough to be out.

Sun belt is a 1 bid league

So TN needs Ark State to roll through the Sunbelt and win their conference tournament. TN is more likely on the NIT bubble than the NCAAT bubble.

What's the Ark State RPI? 150+?

Ark State is no different than every other mid or low major conference, Tennessee needs the conference regular season champs to win the conference tourney, not sure why you're singling out Ark State?

I misread the first post calling for Ark LR to lose. Ark State is currently in the best position for a Sunbelt at-large bid.
