In all the latest brackets

They’ve now lost 5 straight and 10 of the last 13 and are 3-10 in the SEC

What am I missing?

Their non-con résumé is extremely strong.

Regardless, tonight likely dashed their chance at the dance. They needed a splash win and it eluded them, and they got absolutely smashed to boot.

They’ve close to run out of opportunities, if they haven’t already, and I think they have.

Don't worry, we won't make the tourney. Pretty sure those seed projections are delayed a bit.

They have wins against #12 Michigan, #19 Arizona and #25 Louisville. Non con doing work.

Yeah but it doesn’t make up for 10 conference losses and with more yet to come. They’re cooked.

Yep. Had they ended up in that 7-9 win logjam, the case was too strong to leave them out. Absolutely bombing in conference play will overrule any metric because they will fail the “eye test.”

Still doesn’t make up for losing 10 of 13 and your last 5 by a combined 106 points.

It doesn’t, which is why with every passing week their case has gotten weaker.

They’re not. Personally, I think they’re a top 40 team but jeez. The SEC this year specifically is just elite on every level. It’s not like OU was elite in the B12, to their credit it’s a good basketball conference but the losses and the amount of @ss beatings they’ve received is almost comical lol it’s wild, OU is actually a decent team this year and if they make the big dance then I would be the first to say that other teams got hosed.

BC they beat Arizona, Louisville, and Michigan in the non con. Also the bubble is a bit weak in general.

It's not just lower half SEC schools. There are a lot of schools that shouldn't be top 25 or get a decent seed in the tournament right now. Lots of schools getting by on their past glories. Kansas comes to mind. Lost their last 3 on the road and getting blown out by 20 by BYU. And yet they're still ranked.

I agree with you I’m just answering your question. That is the answer.

Or Kentucky projected as a 7 seed with a 18-7 record, 6-6 SEC. It's the name!!

They’ll beat Kentucky if KY is still without Butler/Robinson. Bama might get 120 this weekend

I don’t know that they will. They look dispirited at the moment.

No they have a LOT of really good wins.

Duke, UF, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Tennessee twice. It’s definitely not all name.

They were still in a relatively OK spot until that LSU loss at home. That one really really hurt them.

Sitting at 3-10 and still have to play State, Kentucky, OM, Mizzou, Texas… and probably have to win 4 of those to get in. Yeah I think they’re in a lot of trouble.
