I really like where we are with Herb back healthy. I think we've found a way to kind of get through that mental block of close games late, too.
Doesn't mean we'll finish 5-1, because we have flaws, but I don't think it'll be due to the reasons we flaked out in past years.

Our schedule this year to close out the season seems easier than it has the last few years, this year our tough conference games were loaded at the front of SEC play instead of the end like in years past.
Two years ago especially the stretch we had to end the season was brutal, we had @Kentucky, @Auburn, and Florida in the last 5 games.
I love that we seem to be playing our best ball of the season these last two games instead of getting worse as we go as we seemed to do under Avery. I have no reason to think we won't be playing better in three games than we are now, especially with Herb probably getting healthier as we go.

Indiana and Minnesota are in the exact same spot as us and lost today. Of course the B1G seems destined to get 12 teams in regardless

That's BS too, I know they did pretty good OOC but no way they should get 10 or 11 teams in.

Alabama jumped from 77% to 90% chance to make the NCAA tournament after their big win yesterday. What’s interesting is the percentage jumped from 82% to 94% chance of making the tournament with 18 wins.
I see Mistaken already posted this before I did, my bad.
Interesting that our % went so high after yesterdays win and is so high if we get to 18. Our tough schedule has a lot to do with that I assume.

I mean it wasn’t even close. It was clear evidence that the ball was still in her hands. People should be held accountable when a cal is that terrible. A bad loss like that could ultimately be the difference in Curry keeping or losing her job.

Especially when all but their top 2-3 teams always seem to make an early exit from the tourney. Their Dance record as a whole, sucks.

I think the % chance of making the field increasing so much is mainly because Quad wins were the weakest part of our resume.
That said, my concern is a bit less about another Q1 chance at Ole Miss but that LSU drops now that they're hitting the tougher stretch of their conference schedule.

LSU should be fine they are a good team and have chances for more resume building wins on the horizon. If they can beat Kentucky at home next week they would move up a lot and are already pretty high.
Winning @Ole Miss wouldn't be a quad one win, winning @Miss State would possibly be depending on how they finish out.

It is creeping up there - Ole Miss is #81 in NET. A road win = Quad 1 if it's #1-75.
Richmond is #47 in NET - would be nice if they finished strong and then beat Dayton in the tournament. Could jump into Top 30 territory.

I hope so but they've got Alabama, @Auburn, @Miss St, @Mizzou coming up in their last 6 games, would be pretty tough. If they can win a couple of those then sure but they will probably be an underdog in all of them.
They may be favored vs us but if so it would be like 2 or 3 points.

Would be so awesome if we can close out the regular season 5 and 1. 6 and 0 isn’t impossible but neither is 4 and 2 or 3 and 3.
I do like that we seem to be playing our best ball of the year these last two games. We get on a run here to end the season and get some confidence going we could definitely do some damage in March.

I want to crush TAMU by like 20, they ended our tourney chances at our place last year. They need to be paid back.

We would 110% lose to A&M this year if we still had Avery. These games are the ones he always lost. It feels a little different with Oats.
Posted on 2/16/20 at 4:51 pm to SummerOfGeorge
I can live with 5-1 in these last 6. That's 11-7 in conference

I think Herbs injury is a blessing in disguise for us(other than losing to Arkansas and Tennessee) because he doesn’t have to worry about getting out Ahead of the break and he can solely focus on defense and rebounding. I feel like it’s also inspired the other guys.
I hate I’m doing this to myself but I feel like if we do get in the tourney we have all the makings of a team that usually makes a run. A great PG, 2 sniper sharpshooters, a big that can step out and hit a 3, and now with Herbs injury hopefully an elite rebounder.

No, Avery would have beaten A&M IMO. But he would laid an absolute egg against South Carolina at home
