Going to be a very interesting case study on selection. UK was just clawing off the bubble and now the guy that clearly made them go is done. I don't think they are in with three more loses before the SEC tournament and will need to win a game or two there if they drop two more to show an ability to win without him...

I think they get in barely for a variety of reasons, I think the Gameday night crowd pulls them thru vs. Mizzu. I also think they have a chance @ UT.

He is the heart and soul of the team. I have a bad feeling they will fall apart without him.

So you think they win 2 more regular season games and get in???

The best thing going for them is how bad the SEC is. A lot of "tougher" conference game remaining, but maybe they can find some kind of niche to hang their hat on down the stretch. You also have to be concerned about WCS shouldering a lot more of the role now and how his body with withstand it all.

Nope. I know I'm jynx'n tonight's game but we will see UNC vs UK in the NIT.

No. WCS at this point is a very limited bench player. This is not a good team. I can't wait till Alex and Archie take off their jerseys.

^Ford said today that more and more GMs are saying Poythress needs to come back (i.e., not a sure fire first round pick).

I don't see how one can think they'll win the following games:

 

@UT

@Arkansas

Florida

Missouri

 

Someone who says they still get in, how do they win a single one of those games?

 

I could see them winning at Arkansas. The Razorbacks have lost to 2-8 South Carolina by 21 and to 3-7 Vanderbilt so they are certainly capable of laying an egg. Those games were on the road but they aren't world beaters. Tennesse is also not a for sure loss. They just dropped a home game to Georgia.

 

I do think it will be a struggle to make the tourney but I don't see Arkansas or Tennessee as a guaranteed loss.

I want to see them play the next 2 games before I decide. We'll know a whole lot more about what we got left.

Arkansas is an entirely different team at home. Ask Florida...

If they go 5-2 they are in IMO but its going to be tough. Can they get in with just 20 wins?

With Noel out I'm not sure. The resume is already thin and now the committee has to factor in the injury which has a negative impact on the already shaky fact sheet. 5-2 should get them in. Not sure at all if it is any worse...

 

Clyde founded the school.

 

It must be a REALLY old school.

No, I don't see them making it.
