Well at least we still have two good wins on the year

 

[VolGee4]

Announcers in the Vandy game are off their rockers. Booker said that this USC game looks like their toughest game going forward. Yet they end at UK and at home against UF.

Then the play by play guy said they will get a big RPI bump because USC is at 28 in the RPI. Not really how that works.

It amazes me listening to the off the main beat guys, don't have a clue.

Best case scenario IMO is 5 seed, beat the 12/13, then draw Alabama or Ole Miss. not likely but still in play.

 

[Catbone]

I just don't want to play uga or Ole miss in game one of the SECT

5 is the best case...we would get a bad team that just played the night before.

 

[BruinVol]

They've gotta go 2-2 and they're safe, much easier than the teams having to go 4-1 or 4-0

Don't think 2-2 is safe for them. Rpi projects that at 55 and at 18-12 they would be sweating it.

Vandy-Tenn may be an elimination game

 

[BruinVol]

Time to put Vandy in the mix.

If they go 3-1 the rest of the way their rpi is 37.

Both could still win out and make it

They have to go to UK and finish with Florida at home; not happening.

They beat a full strength florida team in Gainesville.

They are awful when they play less than their best but they are damn good when it's on.

They're clueless. Ky will rout them at Rupp and I see Fla getting payback from their inexcusable loss to them at home. Vandy isn't that tough to guard. If we play like we did at their place the first time, we'll win. Guard their 3 and make them beat you somehow else. They don't have hardly any players that can beat you off the dribble. They run screens and get out in transition to get open looks for 3's. That's their game.

I was a little surprised that So Car didn't beat them. Physical teams usually give Vandy fits. They'r soft. So Car couldn't hit anything down the stretch though. They're in a funk.

We'll know pretty quick if Vandy is on their game. In their wins, they've been hot from 3. Make them struggle from there and we can win.

Like I said 2-2 or even 3-1 is more likely than the teams needing 4-0 that I have out. They're definitely not safe but they're in as of now IMO

UCLA gonna roll USC by 20...Cal's one good win looking less so every day. They also technically can count Princeton as a good win..but cmon

You have them ahead of Mich State and Illinois state. I can't see that at all.

Michigan State needs 2-2, TCU needs the same...

Maybe swap the 2 but I have them back to back, not a huge difference

Scratch that UCLA hung 100 on them and beat them by 30!

[calban]

now we're fighting with Vandy for 5th best rpi in the SEC.
Knew that was coming.
they do have to play KY and florida though.
Them beating USC gives us another top 50 win.
They're 49, we're 50 for the moment.

Would we want them to beat Florida to get them to stay top 50?

I guess if we and UK beat them they may not get back to 50, even with a win vs UF.

2-2 and they are in the top 50 per projections
