The RPI and SOS are the major differences, if you don't understand how that effects a resume I'm not sure what to tell you.

It's not only about wins and losses, there's a lot more that goes into it. If it was only about wins and losses a team like Villanova wouldn't have gotten in last year with 18 wins.

Our resume right now is better than either of the previous two years, if I laid all 3 out and said pick one, nobody in their right mind would pick the other 2.

You're kidding yourself if you think things are different than the last two years while pining your hopes on these computer numbers.

BTO, I'm guessing that's a knock on BP's last year? Come on man...not sure what hang-ups you have with the dude, but he could (and will) coach circles around your boy CCM. At least he made the tourney.

Not sure about that, but BTO will be pulling for Brady over Peyton this weekend.:whistling:

It's not a knock, it was a fact. You said we would get embarrassed, I'm asking if you're saying we would get embarrassed worse than we did in that game...

How bad did Pearl beat Martin's undermanned Missouri State team? Honest question....

Even harder to imagine us ever going to the tournament at all with this pos calling the shots.

2 months we will be there, hang on tight.

Of course I'm sure when your name is called you'll immediately move to b!tching about what seed we got though. Convenient.

Not gonna lie, I watched some of the Denver game yesterday, and I actually didn't absolutely loath Manning. I maaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy pull for him next week. Either way, it's not the Titans, so I don't really care.

So a RPI of 200 and a RPI of 54 are the same?

WOW. You're supposed to never go full retard man, c'mon.

They aren't the same. One puts you within spitting distance, while one does not. But, if the RPI is still 54 at the end of the season, it might as well be 200. Average of the last 4 teams in the tournament from 2009-2012 was 45. Only two made it with an RPI over 54 - Clemson at 55 and USC at 73 - both in 2011.

Last year's last 4 in were MTSU (28), St. Mary's (29), LaSalle (46) and Boise (44).

Is it easier to move your RPI into the 30-40 range from 54, or 200? That's my point.

Yes or no. Are we in a better position than either of Martin's previous 2 years, on this date?

And if they hadn't lost to a sh*tball A & M team they would be sitting pretty damn good. But no, they had to go and make it hard on themselves yet again.

The loss to NC State doesn't bother me as much as the A & M loss. At least NC State is halfway decent even though we didn't give good effort. Hell, even the UTEP loss doesn't bother me as much because it was on a neutral court and Floyd can coach circles around Martin. The A & M loss is worse because they had a clear path to 3-0 going into Rupp and getting their RPI pretty solid and they sh*t the bed. Just like they have a couple of other times. How many more bed sh*ttings are left in this season? That's the question.

BTO, you're arguing that we are in a better place RPI-wise than CCM's last 2 years. The rest of us are arguing that CCM is in over his head and isn't the long-term solution. Two completely different arguments.

All BTO argues is numbers. He has no idea how bad of a basketball coach Maritn is.

In Seth's latest SI article he says Tennessee is the most disappointing team in the country. Davis is usually complimentary of us and where we are going but this is a damning statement. Davis is not known to be a flame thrower or into statements for shock value.

You got a link?

This is all I found...



Ten Teams That Helped Themselves:

Tennessee (25) — Cuonzo Martin did a good job challenging his team with this schedule, but too often his Volunteers did not rise up to meet it. Their best nonconference wins came over Xavier at the Battle 4 Atlantis and against Virginia at home. The fact that they started SEC play with a road win at LSU is a good sign.

It's all ok. We just had a 4 game winning streak. No worries.

Jerry Palm (on Basilio's show today) says that 11-7 in the SEC will probably get us in the NCAA.

He thinks the SEC will probably get 5 teams in.
