I agree. I think A&M should not be in at all. Ole Miss should be a 9.

If we are an 8 or 9, playing gonzaga would be great for us. Don't get me wrong, I think they are really frickig good, but we already played them and competed. We know we CAN beat them and having tape probably helps us more than it helps them. I would love to see it.

A&M has won 7 of 8 and looks like a completely different team from earlier in the year. RPI of 35. Nice road wins at Tennessee and LSU. Our worst loss is to Bama. The early OOC losses hurt as well and of course not closing the deal on the 2OT game with UK. A win over UGA on Wednesday at Reed would really help.

They are really good, and they added two transfers that didn't play against us that gives them more depth. But I completely agree with you that playing a team you have film on, when they have more talent than you, is a much better thing.

Ole Miss has a ton of potential. It's a shame they had those losses early on.

They beat our arse.

Ole miss has the best guard duo in the SEC. Really glad we got the win @ the tad pad.

I think LSU hangs in there until the end. The talent on the roster can't be denied and they're a Cinderella candidate if they get a favorable 1st round matchup



Maybe, very good chance they could be eliminated in a week too. They've lost a lot of games to teams they shouldn't in the weak part of their SEC schedule, Miss St, Auburn, Mizzou.

Now they have Kentucky, @Tennessee, @A&M, and Florida all in a row. They could easily lose all 4.

Make or break for the Tigers in this stretch, 0-4 and done, 1-3 and probably done. Need to go 2-2 or better.

We're an awful 6 seed right now. If we start shooting again we'll be a tough 6.. I guess that's the nature of cole ball.

So many games in the dance are low scoring and determined by defense. We've been playing dang good D the last 4-5 games.

Your worst loss is to Kansas State.

You have three wins against the Top 100, two of which are over teams who will be lucky to make the postseason (Tennessee, Arizona State).

A&M's resume is just blah. You have a chance over the next week-and-a-half to improve your record against the Top 100 at home, but right now, you have a nice RPI and a general lack of bad losses... But that's it.
