From Baseball America....Vols one of last teams IN for NCAA Tournament...it'd be awesome if it turns out to be...gotta make Hoover to make sure we're in obviously
Been a long time since we were even on the bubble for the NCAAs
Southeastern Conference (9 bids) SAFELY IN: Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Auburn, LSU, Vanderbilt, Alabama ON THE BUBBLE (IN): Tennessee ON THE BUBBLE (OUT): Kentucky Kentucky's at-large hopes dwindled further when the Wildcats dropped two of three at Tennesse. They are still 29th in the RPI, but at 24-20, 7-14 SEC, they've lost six of their seven conference series, so their RPI is irrelevant unless they can catch fire down the stretch. Tennessee now moves into position to claim a ninth bid from the SEC. At 8-13 in the league and 24-21 overall, the Volunteers are far from safe, but there is simply a lack of bubble teams from other conferences with better resumes. Tennessee can finish in the top 45 of the RPI with a 7-4 finish against Georgia, Auburn and Alabama. The Vols have the talent to make that happen, and they have some momentum after winning back-to-back series against Vandy and Kentucky.
