Any chance we drop off the 3 seed line after this weekend? I feel like our win vs Ky should outweigh our loss @arky by a large margin, but with the way that the polls have been this year, I wouldn’t be surprised if people use the Arkansas loss as a reason to drop us to a 4.

We’ll probably drop to a 4-seed, but that’s fine. It’s just up to us to take care of business. If we go 4-0 these last few games, we’ll be a 3-seed again.

We are right on the 3/4 cutoff, based off of negative results around us, we probably lean towards the top of the 4 per the moment. 2-6 seeds still in play.

Almost certainly fell behind Illinois. There’s definitely a chance we fall behind Wisconsin and UCLA.

At some point we are gonna have to prove we can beat a good team away from TBA to get a top three seed. We have beaten a couple of decent teams but that's the missing element to our resume. The SEC Tournament is our next opportunity.

I wish there was a chance Florida could climb back in the Top 30 NET but they’re too far gone now. So im a bit on the fence for that game. Yes it gives us some padding in the SECT standings, but tbh I don’t think the difference between 3/4 is very meaningful. In fact I think I’d rather play Auburn again right now than UK. And if Arkansas loses their next two, I’m not sure what chances they’ll be a Q1 game for us in Knoxville which would kind of ruin the only silver lining of them beating us.

I’m less concerned about SECT seeding and more concerned about Arkansas rising the seed line list and challenging for a 3 or 4-seed if they keep up this torrid pace. I’d prefer Florida win and cool them off a bit, and then we beat them in Knoxville and end any chance they have of potentially being a 3/4 in the NCAA.

If Arkansas was to win tonight and then beat LSU and Kentucky (at home), our game against them would essentially be a must win if we want to stay on the 3/4 line I think.

I see it as the opposite. If you’re worried about a loss to Arkansas then a Q1 loss at home is not as bad as a Q2 one. If you’re not worried about a loss then it makes all the other points moot.

I was also thinking the fact of NCAAT seeding though, they’re up to a 6 and getting a lot of love, climbing fast…gotta think a 4 seed is reachable for them which obviously puts them right around us.

It might pad whatever downside we have in seeding, which is limited anyway assuming we don't lose to Missouri and Georgia, but a win by Arkansas I think helps our upside from a resume perspective. Giving us a better chance of picking up another Q1 win. On the flip side a win by Florida can help get to the tourney and giving us another win over the field. It's why I'm a bit on the fence
