Short-handed Baylor up 15 on Texas.

I know for seeding we want A&M, but I feel like Auburn winning would actually be better. Keeps Kentucky out of the race, and gives us a very big game at home against Auburn.

What does it matter if Kentucky enters the race?? And our game is gonna be huge regardless….

If anything, A&M winning makes the game against Auburn even bigger because it means there is a chance at it being for 1st place in the SEC.

I'm sorry but comparing our remaining schedule to any of the other 3 (UK, Aub, Ark), I think we are going to end up 4th. Maybe Arky but idk, that is a torrential end for us.

Corrrct, don’t get the logic.

We have Auburn, Vandy and @UGA…Arkansas has @bama, @UF and LSU. Which 3 game are you taking?

 

[golfballs]

I feel very strongly that they will beat Missou, Florida, and LSU. I also think they’ll beat both UK and us at home. Bud Walton is a madhouse. Does that not get them to a Q1?

According to these odds, the likelihood that happens is 2.5%

According to these odds, the likelihood that happens is 2.5%

It’s just based on feeling and how they’ve been playing lately. It very well might not happen, but they’re hot and they play most of those games at home.

Because I do not want Kentucky to win the SEC selfishly lol

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Alabama masterfully choking a 13-point lead.

We have Auburn, Vandy and @UGA…Arkansas has @bama, @UF and LSU. Which 3 game are you taking?

I am talking our entire remaining not next 3 games

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Alabama survives. We play for 3rd place tonight.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Seton Hall up on Villanova late. Oklahoma neck and neck with Kansas late.

Getting one of these would be nice. Both would be awesome.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Todays games:
Texas A&M vs. Auburn
Texas vs. Baylor
Oklahoma vs. Kansas
Seton Hall vs. Villanova

Auburn Wins
Baylor Wins
Kansas Wins
Villanova Wins

Not a lot of help, but most of these were long shots.

 

[BallerVolFan]

Alabama survives. We play for 3rd place tonight.

If we can somehow beat Vandy and Kentucky, we’ll have a chance to distance ourselves by 2 games with our next game being at Arkansas. But even if we were to lose on the road to Arkansas, we’d still be tied for 3rd (given that we beat Vandy and UK and Arkansas beats Mizzou next week)

So your take had nothing to do with what was best for Tennessee? Lol.

Always go with the feeling vs 97.5% odds when you can…

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I am talking our entire remaining not next 3 games

The other 4 are the exact same for both teams, therefore making those 3 games the difference, which is why I asked which you taking?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Todays games:
Texas A&M vs. Auburn
Texas vs. Baylor
Oklahoma vs. Kansas
Seton Hall vs. Villanova
Rutgers vs. Wisconsin
Memphis vs. Houston
Indiana vs. Michigan State
Florida vs. Kentucky
TCU vs. Texas Tech
Marquette vs. Butler
Duke vs. Boston College
Arizona vs. Washington
Ohio State vs. Michigan
DePaul vs. Providence
Saint Mary’s vs. Gonzaga
UCLA vs. USC

A&M loses
Baylor wins
Oklahoma loses
Seton Hall loses
Rutgers wins

Well, I imagine the odds of Arkansas winning 8-games in a row probably were extremely low as well. It may have been higher than 2.5% but I cannot imagine it was that much higher knowing how probabilities work.

You can’t win the lottery if you don’t play.

They were only given a 10% chance to win at LSU so that takes the odds down considerably. If you exclude that game they had a 5% chance to win all of the others

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Cmon Rutgers, close this one out, would be big…I’m sure Wisconsin will win another close one

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Rutgers wins. That's big for us. A win tonight would almost certainly put us on the 4-seed line, maybe 3-seed depending on your bracketologist.

Absolutely not lol. But in my mind it is
