Honestly Arky could reach a 1 seed if they win out.

Nope, not enough good wins left to get there

No way. Even a 2 seed is kind of a pipe dream IMO

It's possible but only if we get Bama again in the SEC tournament

The problem with a 1 seed is 3 of them are basically set in stone with Gonzaga, Baylor and Michigan (though Baylor has looked rough since coming back and could lose a few down the stretch, but even then they'd probably stick).

So that leaves only one #1 seed left and it almost assuredly will go to whoever finishes the best in the B1G (OSU, Illinois, Iowa).

I don't like having to be at 6 playing Michigan. I think their center would make them a harder matchup than Baylor.

But congrats to Arky. Y'all are so hot right now, it's only a matter of time before Larry develops a fetish.

I hope Arkansas realizes they aren’t going to get these calls in the tournament.

Dude. If you haven't noticed (you obviously haven't), our offensive approach has totally changed. We aren't taking very many 3's. We are driving the ball, scoring in the paint, and are focused on remaining around the hoop in order to get rebounds.

All of that leads to getting fouled.

Arkansas the best

You gosh darn right!

Seriously, Michigan State, UNC, and Duke will all make it in regardless of what happens down the stretch.

---

UNC is 15-8 with 2 games to play and just beat #11 FSU. They legitimately deserve to get an invite.

You may be right about the others, but IMO Duke is in real trouble. They're only a couple games over .500. No matter how much the committee may want to put them in, they could very easily play their way out of an invite.

North Carolina isn't even on the bubble. They're 15-8 with a NET of 21.

Can’t wait to see the tears when they beat an SEC team

I hope Alabama gets the Hogs in the SEC Tournament and Doug Shows and that crew are nowhere in sight because if they aren't, I'll call it right now, the Hogs are going to get barbecued.

Probably not - Arkansas is playing damn good basketball.

Don't get me wrong, frick Doug Show. He's fricking garbage. But Arkansas is definitely playing the best ball in the SEC right now. I'd love to avoid them until the fall. I half expect them to win the SEC tournament. Though they're in such a long winning streak, it's almost too long. So I could see them doing a game they should win.

But as of now, they have to be the Vegas favorites to win next week.
