That's good enough to get in, but they'll be a high seed. They are getting rewarded for playing good teams, but they are also getting punished for sucking.


We will get bounced first round. Book it

Just beat Arky in the tourney. Ya'll can be pissed all you want but our quality wins will keep us in, whether we are that great or not. We are good tourney team, judging by the Pre-season NIT.

I think the NCAA might keep UT out come Sunday.

I just said this but Pearl has mastered the system. Next year all we'll need is 15 wins. We play in the most stacked Maui field ever, play Uconn at home, most likely a rematch with Pitt, play @Memphis, @Wisconsin, @West Virginia plus Belmont, Oakland at the Pistons arena, and CoC.

UT is a lock anyone that has paid attention to what the committee says every year would know that. Are they backing in, yes, but they played a hard schedule and beat enough teams.

Playing nobodies in non-conference and racking up wins means absolutely nothing nowadays. Ask Andy Kennedy, he's knocking out 20 or so wins every year and we haven't even hardly been on the bubble.

I do think Pearl has mastered the RPI/SOS system.

Play a hard as hell non-conference, win a few of them and you can crap the bed come conference time.

To be fair, this is the first year Pearl's had to rely on this to get in the tourney due to poor conference play. Usually it's just helped our seeding.

I agree. I don't feel Tennessee is worthy to dance with the way they have performed over the last few months. But pearl is a genious and get them in regardless. Ugghh I'm so jealous of tennessee's program. We have busted our butts night in and night our for that bid. We showed great resiliency coming back from 8-6 and UT just has cruised and takes the bid for granted. it shouldn't b so hard to make a field of 68

And usually we dont have a ton of shitty loses to teams like Charlotte and Oakland but you're right and this has been a bad year in conference for us

They aren't sniffing the bubble. They are easily in.
