I saw for the first time today we are officially on the bubble. Vandy is feeling more like a play in game. If we win Tuesday we are on our way. I'm not sure what our chances are of beating KY @ home regardless of their road record, but we now need to win 3 of last 4 to be safe. At least 2 wins in the SEC tourney aswell may now be required for us to be safe. GO VOLS! I hate vandy...

At best I see 2 wins left and 1 in tournament....puts the Vols at 19 wins.....pretty much on the thin side of the bubble, but possible.

We only need 2 or 3 wins to be in the tourney. Expanded, weak field makes it easier for us this year. If we beat Mississippi State and @ South Carolina, we're in.

I think the Vols need 20 wins to get in the NCAA tourney, but that's not a given. This has not been one of the better teams under Bruce, but shoudl have 20 wins already with a shot at 22-23. Got to remember that even though the Gators won 2 NCAA Championships(back-to-back) they went to the NIT the next year. Of course they lost several players to the NBA too.

If we only have 2 wins that will mean we will have 3 more losses. So that means we would be 3-7 in our last 10, 18-14 overall and a first round loss in the SEC tourney. No way we get in. The field is only 68 teams this year.

I know the size of the field. I guarantee you we get in if we win 18 games.

That would make a difference.

We don't need 20. 18 could do it and 19 and we're in for sure.

Its definitely still possible. CBP needs to light a fire under these guys and make a strong post-season run!

I don't think 68 is the numer we should be talking about. The number 5 or 6 are far more important. Does the SEC get 5 or 6 in the tourney? If its 5 its between us and GA. We need to make a case why we deserve to dance with these last 4 games..

20 wins and we are definitely in....19 wins and we better beat Vandy/UK for another good win or it will be a very nerve racking selection Sunday...18 wins, meaning we would have 14 losses...I can assure you we will NOT get in...that would mean we would lose to a west team in the SEC tourny...close out the season like that and NIT here we come

They finish 500 in conference, make a early exit from the SEC tourney and i'd say NIT it is.
