In his 11/29 Bracketology he has 9 of the 10 Big 12 teams in, with Oklahoma St. in the first four out.
I don't see that lasting.

This is a big week for us with the game at Memphis coming up on Saturday. Memphis is listed as a 6 seed in this Bracketology version. If we win this game on the road, we can get back on the map toward a NCAA berth.
113 isn't good, but I'm surprised we aren't worse. At this point Buzz getting the team to close out each four minute mini period with a win would lead to enough wins to increase the NET quite a bit. Seems unpossible but I think it's more likely than not that we are in the top 50 by the end of the season: but not unl as we start winning minute by minute from the beginning. I think especially we need a better defensive focus.Gap said:

Our big week at the close of the non-conference was a bust. Winning at Memphis would have gotten us back on the map toward a NCAA berth. We were close but fell short there. However, in what ended up being the bigger story for the week regarding our chances, we really harmed ourself with a home loss to the Wofford Terriers.
As of 12/22/2022, Texas A&M has a NET ranking of #113 and we find ourselves about 70-75 spots out of the NCAA tourney at this time.

12-6 with a sprinkling of wins like last night? Definitely possible. 12-6 with most of the wins coming off bottom-feeders? Poor odds.Complete Idiot said:
I'm going to allow myself to follow this again, we have a chance to make a move.
Very encouraged by SEC start but a LOT of work to do. Just looking back at our 5 losses:
Murray St - now 9-8 and 6th in the MVC, NET 178
Colorado - now 11-6 and 7th in the Pac-12, NET 60
Boise St - 13-4 and 3rd in Mountain West, NET 25
Memphis - 12-5 and 6th in American, NET 54
Wofford - 10-8 and 7th in Southern, NET 225
We are still thinking 12-6 in SEC to make tourney, right? Is the SEC down a bit? Currently 5 ranked teams, Arkansas is ranked but 1-3 in SEC play so far (**** em).
