per WarrenNolan.

That means if we get upset Saturday, we need 2 wins in the SEC Tourney to have a chance.

this loss means we need at least one in tourney

Anything less than 22 wins and it's sweat time

Yep. It's pretty simple, Saturday is must-win. I feel confident we can, if we play to our potential.

That is bad. Don't think beating bama at home gets us back to top 40.

Win Saturday and we are in. Is there any way we don't get the double bye after a win against Bama?

We were lower in that formula anyway. Probably about 40 tomorrow in the ncaa version.

Where was all this doom and gloom before tonight's game? I heard zero talk of having to grab a game in the tourney before tonight's game...only having to beat Bama.

CBS and Sporting News said we needed to beat UF/Bama and win one in sect.

Say what? That's ridiculous.

It wasn't so much the loss as playing a team with a losing record.

The RPI is crap. Someday, the selection committee will wake up and recognize this.



We only dropped 1 on kenpom.

I quit paying attention to any predictions from Jerry Palm a few years ago. He isn't really that good.

Right here with you. I've been feeling this doom since losing to Georgia and thinking 13-5 is what we need to be safe. I still think winning Saturday and in the first game of the tourney will still be enough, but even then I wouldn't be surprised nor would I feel jobbed if we were placed in Dayton.

Saturday is a must must win. Even then though, we can't have bubble teams like Purdue beating Sparty tomorrow or else they could jump us no matter what our result is against Bama

I'm not doubting they said it.

Dumbasses like method mouse make this board a real stain ... Loser.

I don't always agree with Method but he's definitely a fan.

I am negative because of three years of not making tourney and I am an all or none kind of person. I was the same way with Turgeon.

We are better, but we have to beat someone good to make the tourney. If we make it, we have to beat someone there. Can we? Sure. UF had us pegged and our answer was to play a Rob, green, house, space and Trocha way too long and Kourtney way to short.

As always the rankings are not linear. We are as close to being #33 as we are to #49. A win on Saturday is important. Don't see losing a tourney game to the #5 seed who will also make the tourney being a bubble buster.

While the rankings are not linear, they are still rankings.

While I'd love to give the NCAA Selection Committee that much credit, I think it's far more likely talking points and whiteboard material being tossed around is more in the vein of "They are ranked #46 in RPI compared to Team X being ranked #35" than "They have an RPI value of 0.5875 compared to Team X with an RPI value of 0.5865".

What was it before tonight's loss, mhhayden?

We're 42 on kp and 39 on ESPN RPI - that's barely on the good side of the bubble. Saturday is a must game.
The team, the coaches, and the fans must bring it.

I disagree sometimes with MM, although much less so lately, but he lives and breathes Aggie basketball.

There was maybe two of our six years in our run that this board didn't freak out about our chances down the stretch when in reality we were already safely in. Beat Bama and we are in. End of story.

Georgia's loss to UK gives them seven in conference. LSU can only match our win total and we own the tiebreaker with them. So win Safurday and at worst we're the four seed in the SEC tournament.

If we beat Bama and Vanderbilt somehow upsets Ole Miss, we're the three seed.

Method Man is one of the best posters on this board.

what a dumbass

I'm sorry if that's what you thought I meant.
