Only way that prediction makes sense is if he thinks we are going to finish 1-4

They have the bad quad 3 loss we don't have but are better right now on the road as of now. They are also 6-6 vs teams projected in the tourney while we are 3-9 vs teams projected in.

NCAA uses net ranking now and pretty much dropped RPI entirely
AU is #24
Bama is #49
That's a big difference

If we end up in an 8-9 SEC Tourney game (likely against Bama) and still end up an 8 or 9 seed & comfortably in the NCAA we will see the first major change in that philosophy.

I 100% agree these games are likely still very important to selection. The changes from what I can tell are coming on the "how" these games are evaluated/measured

What are those 12 games? Seems like numbers are unfairly counted somewhere
I have them at 3-6 vs likely NCAAT teams, 5-6 if you include AQ home wins vs Liberty/Murray
At Large Projected (3-4)
- UK (W)
- @LSU (L)
- @UTk (L)
- Ole Miss (W)
- @Baylor (L)
- MSU (W)
- @MSU (L)
Bubble (0-2)
- AU (L)
- UF (L)
Need Conf Championship (2-0)
- Murray St (W)
- Liberty (W)

AU is 3-8, including those bubble 5-8
- UF (W)
- Bama (W)
- UWash (W)
- (L), Duke/NCst/UKx2/OMx2/MSU/USCe/LSU
AQ/Weaker Bubble
- Murray St (W)
- Dayton (W)

6-6 vs teams projected in
Yet they've still lost an additional 5 games with only the UK narrow home win being a "signature"
Normally teams that drop the ball vs bad teams need to have some more top heavy wins (aka the ACC method)

The truth is, winning 2 more games regular + SECT should punch our ticket given the field.
What may change that is conference tournament results
The number of "bubble" at large spots can shrink significantly if teams like Nevada, Wofford, Houston/Cincy, Buffalo, Gonzaga and others don't win their conference tournament

Tonight is as close to must win as you can get isn’t it? Unless you lose tonight then somehow beat Tennessee at home
Posted on 2/27/19 at 5:13 pm to Rig
Tonight would definitely be our worst loss of the year
Posted on 2/27/19 at 5:19 pm to AA7
Yep. I haven’t been at all worried about making the tourney this year. If we lose tonight, that will change for the first time.

Our game delayed?

We are following an overtime game of course. A staple of 2018-2019 Auburn basketball.

Anfernee with the bank lol.

Sheesh we got hot as hell out of nowhere.

McCormick might need more minutes. He seems to be improving each game.
Posted on 2/27/19 at 8:37 pm to wareagle47
It’s 32-26 and I’m finally tuned in.
Posted on 2/27/19 at 8:45 pm to jangalang
Taking care of business so far. Harper having an unbelievable half. Defense hasn’t been great though
Posted on 2/27/19 at 8:49 pm to auburnnyc94
As long as we can trade buckets, I think we will be good.
Posted on 2/27/19 at 8:50 pm to jangalang
Last minute of first half coming up. Hold steady.
Posted on 2/27/19 at 8:51 pm to jangalang
Tom Crean’s face still looks to me like he’s always sniffing a turd.
Oh look, Auburn’s regularly scheduled late half collapse.

Bryce Brown is gonna make a lot of money playing basketball in China or Israel.

Georgia finished with a 4-0 run. I’ll take it.
Still a ten point lead and we have scored 50 in the first half.
