Anyone know what are seeding might be in the SECT if we win out?

Also, do we have to win out plus win two in the SECT to have a legit shot at the NCAAT?

If we win out I think a 5 or 6 seed would be most likely.

I think if we win out then 1 win in the SECT would be more than enough, JMO though.

How much weight is put on conference tournament wins?

Yeah that's what I was just looking at and came up with 5 and 6 too.

If we were a five we would play the winner of 12/13 game and I think that wouldn't be enough to get in IMO. Idk could be wrong though

I think a decent amount

Probably dependent on the rest of the bubble

Let's just win out and win the SECT and not have to worry about it lol

Could be more this year than others because of how weak the bubble is.

Say UT lost tomorrow, won the last two, and 3 tourney games? What happens?

RPI would be in the 40's, have to think at 19-15 they very well could get in.

Using the Wizard, if they were unlucky enough to play MZ LSU and then lose to Bama their rpi would be 66.
Would have a lot to do with the teams they played.

Yes this is very true, I was assuming the favorites won. Of course if we can get a MZ/LSU/Bama/Aub path then maybe we finally win a SECT and don't have to worry about an at large.

Oregon State is up on Cal in the first..if they lose this game we might get to see Auburn Cal and Tennessee together in the NIT

 

[VolnJC]

Nevermind Cal finally woke up

I'd take it.

Bubble busted. Time to see if we can get into NIT

 

[bnhunt]

anything about UT making the tourney, being on the bubble, bracketology, etc. after today's performance should be suspended from the board indefinitely. Awful.

 

[81Orange]

We are in!

 

[JFreak]

So what are we allowed to talk about, oh Master? I know.. maybe about how much this team overachieved.

Did you honestly expect a win?

At this point, that argument is quickly fading. Pathetic end to the season.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

What do you want us to say? Want us to whine and cry like a bunch of babies to make everything better?

 

[bnhunt]

I actually thought with the way USCjr was playing lately and the fact that UT's season was on the line that we would actually show up for the freaking game.

 

[JFreak]

What did you expect of this team in October? Legitimately curious.

 

[TNSportsman]

Game. Set. Match. Need to win 1 of the last 2 to salvage the NIT and stay above .500.
