That may actually help us because now Oregon is off the bubble and in. A win against Alabama wouldn't have done the same for us today. We would still need to win our first game in the tournament, and that would be harder as a 4 seed as opposed to a 5.

5 seed is a blessing, no reason we shouldn't beat Auburn or SC winner.

I don't see us beating Tennessee at all, though.

We match up well. They don't like pressure at all.

I feel like we match up poorly.

They are physical and pound the boards, Top 25 in the country in rebounding.

Good rebounding teams usually dominate us, especially away from home.

Their guards don't like going fast at all, though. I think it will be about whoever can control the pace of the game. If we can force turnovers in the halfcourt and make the game run, Tenn's guards aren't good enough to keep the game under control.

That's true , but we have to MAKE shots in order to force the tempo. Historically we have struggled shooting in the Georgia dome and we are going to have a hard time scoring inside. I'd rather play Kentucky than UT in the dome, their inside guys are much softer

Draw looks good for us. We need at least one win in the SECT and should be able to beat the winner of USC and Auburn. Tenessee will be a tough out, but they're certainly not unbeatable.

Lunardi still has us in the last 4 in after the loss today.

He has undervalued us all year long, so if he thinks we're still in then that's a good sign. We may need to just win 1 game in the SEC tournament, either against Auburn or South Carolina.

Gonzaga winning tonight also helps us, we need them to win their conference tournament so they don't take up a bubble spot.

Florida State missed a good chance to beat Cuse, they are sliding off the bubble. Good news for us.

We may just need to win our first game in the SEC tournament. Beating Tennessee would be nice but I don't think we'll get faulted too much if we lose to them, especially if they make a run.

Very good news that more bubble teams are losing I agree we may just have to win our first game to get in.

Gonzaga or BYU since most have BYU in or on the bubble with Arkansas.

St. Joes lost at home to LaSalle (15-15) today, so expect to hear how much of a power conference the A10 is this year.

Nebraska is in the Last Four In, or were the other day, they just tipped off against #9 Wisconsin.

Need them to lose.

Nebraska, Minnesota, and to some extent Indiana have a greater opportunity to play themselves out of the NCAAs in the conference tourney than Arkansas.

Vermont lost today They're 22-10 and went 15-1 in their shitty conference.

I'd be surprised if they got in, we certainly hope they dont.

They stole the first NIT bid for a regular season champ/non con tourney winner.

The Ivy League is the only conference that is not going to be stealing NIT bids (Harvard is in the tourney).

Yeah we really need Nebraska to lose. I'm watching their game with Wisconsin, the Badgers look pretty salty. Would NOT want to play them in the tournament.
