Ole Miss finally managed to break out of their skid with a win against Bama last night. While they didn't beat a great team, it's still a road win and that's always significant. A loss may have knocked the Rebels out of the tournament completely. All they need to do is beat Vandy on Saturday and they're safely in.
RPI: 45
Games remaining: vs. Vanderbilt


To no one's surprise, Georgia lost to Kentucky, but their season sweep of Ole Miss has them in pretty good shape heading into this weekend. Only problem is they have a land mine game against Auburn, who they already lost to once this season. The Bulldogs can't afford to lose that one.
RPI: 36
Games remaining: @Auburn


Lsu has been playing much better basketball lately, regardless of schedule. It seems like the players are motivated by a chance at making the tournament, and Tennessee has the misfortune of playing in the PMAC against a hot and hungry team. While beating Arkansas on the road is a tall order, the Tigers only need to win tonight to feel comfortable and remain on the good side of the bubble.
RPI: 46
Games remaining: vs. Tennessee, @Arkansas


Texas A&M didn't help themselves last night with a loss against a struggling Florida team, and they are currently the weakest of the SEC bubble teams. The only thing keeping them on the bubble is the season sweep of Lsu, which isn't much considering the Tigers are clinging to the bubble as well. A&M has to win on Saturday against Bama, and they would benefit the most from a good run in the SEC tournament with a chance to add a couple good wins to their paltry résumé.
RPI 48
Games remaining: vs. Alabama

Agree with you at this point hog...

I'm worried for the Aggies... (Not really, but I don't know if they make it)

The other 3 need 1 more win to be in. Aggies may need some SECT work.

I just got on the aTm in the NCAA wagon...now I'm back off.

The loss to UF has dropped their RPI to almost 50.

I think the Aggies need to win a couple in the SECt now

UGA is in. Every bracket has them as a the 3rd SEC team in. OM, AM, LSU cannot lose Saturday.

UGA will beat AU this time , now that half thier starters won't be out for the rematch.

Not a good night for Lsu, but a win on Saturday would make up for this loss against Tennessee.
