We only have 2 losses. The only reason why we are so low is because they claim we haven’t played anybody. Kentucky should help put the fact that we only have two losses to the forefront. That’s my thinking anyway.

Completely understand your thinking. I'm just saying from observing how the polls tend to work it usually doesn't work that way unless there's at least 2 perceived good wins in a week.

The ranking will take care of itself with our remaining schedule I think. Just can’t shite the bed

Bruce Pearl and Flanigan attended one of Jerdarion Davison’s games. He is one of the top 2021 PGs in the state and country. We were one of his first offers before he exploded onto the scene. He plays for Alabama Fusion in AAU.

Per Caldwell.

I'm concerned. Everyone in here thinking about the irrelevant AP poll and how far we jump if we beat UK. We aren't a good road team and historically struggle with OM. A loss tonight headed into a difficult stretch in our schedule would be cause for concern. I think we find a way to win, but my confidence level is low.

Does anybody know the CBB site that projects among many other things:
-how many wins we need to make the tournament?
-Projected record
-Chances of making it to elite 8/ final four/ NC etc

It was very handy last year.

Nevermind found out.

Wins needed to make tournament and percentage:

NCAA Bid%
32 100.0%
31 100.0%
30 100.0%
29 100.0%
28 100.0%
27 100.0%
26 100.0%
25 100.0%
24 99.4%
23 95.7%
22 77.8%
21 43.0%
20 10.0%
19 0.3%
18 0.2%
OVERALL 97.2%

The march to 22 (for now)

I promise CBP has been hammering the two L's from last year and how important this game is into their heads. Doesn't mean the players won't look past it to Saturday but not for CBP's lack of trying.

I know but even bruce was speaking about gameday in his presser yesterday. It is only human nature

I like your confidence level numbers. We need to win the 4s and 5s. Steal a 1 or 2 and we are good.

I like looking at the confidence ratings and laying out the schedule like this. But this actually makes me much more confident in getting 7 or so more wins.

While we do have a very tough schedule coming up with Ole Miss, UK, Arky, LSU, I think our schedule after that sets up real nicely.

No way we lose to Alabama again. At home, rivalry game, we are the better team, can’t see us getting swept by Bama. Then you follow that up with Missouri, UGA, Tennessee, Ole Miss.

If we win the 4’s and 5’s, take 2 out of 3 from the 3’s, win 1 of the 1’s and 2’s, that’s 8 more wins and puts us at 12-6 in conference. I think that’s doable.
