KenPom 2/26



Kentucky 5 (only team in SEC with top 10 in both offensive 10 and defensive 8 efficiency rankings)

Tennessee 9 (shocked they are 2 in offensive efficiency but defense is still not Final 4 efficiency at 38)

Auburn 14. (Surprised they maintain this ranking after the arse kicking in Rupp. Offensive efficiency has taken a hit at 15 and defense at 32).

LSU 22 (defensively, they are dropping and it will probably cost them in March with a hot 3 point shooting team. Currently ranked 71 defensive efficiency and 12 offensive)

State 23 (holding steady 16 offensive and 50 defensive efficiency. State could cause damage in March).

Florida at 29. They need a couple more wins.

I think 6 gets in unless Florida melts at the end of the next week/half.

Our melt would be this week with Vandy and Georgia. We win those 2 and we're in, essentially. Can afford to lose to LSU and UK next week if we don't have a bad loss.

If we lose one this week, we MUST beat LSU or UK next week.

It would be nice to get at least 1 win in the SECT too. 19 wins got Vandy in.

It would be nice, but I want that merely to sweeten the deal instead of us being on the bubble going into the SEC tourney. I still think 18 wins is enough with our schedule. But we'll see.

Don’t know about Ole Miss. they are sitting 44/38 in KenPom and NET. They have Kentucky and Tennessee with Arkie sandwich. 1/3 will drop them. Maybe play in spot in Dayton?

The bubble is awful and their NET won't fall much at all going 1-2. They're on the 8/9 line right now. Outside of finishing 1-4 or 0-5 they're in.

Even 1-4 might still have them in Dayton.

I agree with the bubble teams this year suck...which will help out Ole Miss.

If the tourney started today

Kentucky 1 seed
Tennessee 2 seed
LSU 3 seed
Auburn 5 seed
Florida 7/8 seed
Ole Miss 10 seed

If, big if, but IF Florida can win the next 3, lose at UK, and then make the SEC Tourney final, they could get a 5/6 seed.

Would be quite the turn around from a month ago when you think about it. And it's more doable than most think.

You left out State.

If the tourney started today, State is probably a 6 seed. You also have Auburn way too high in my opinion. They are looking at 6/7 as of today.

Looking at what Ole Miss has left...
Arkansas on a 6 game losing streak (after tonight);
Missouri has lost 8 of their last 10 (11 of their last 14);
Tennessee in Oxford, after losing 2 of their last 3;
Kentucky playing very good basketball since their loss to LSU.

There is no reason to think Ole Miss doesn't win two of those...and will stand a good chance against UT in light of their current slide.

They are in basically every bracket at the moment (86% of 122 brackets on bracketmatrix).

As of today we are in. We won't be in 3 weeks, but as of today we pretty clearly are.
