I'll say this for Fox: he has made UGA a consistently entertaining team agin. Consistently frustrating but consistently entertaining too

Not gonna lie, when MSU started off the first half hot while we weren't rebounding or making shots, I thought we were going to lay an egg. Proud of our guys for executing starting midway through first half and holding on to win. While it is incredibly frustrating having those scoring droughts, one of the hardest things to do in basketball is to regain momentum after losing a big lead to a team that is now red hot. Let's go take care of South Carolina now!

A few games today that could help our RPI:
Florida vs. Texas A&M (Florida win helps us)
Baylor vs. Kansas (Baylor win helps us)
Seton Hall vs. Xavier (Seton Hall win helps us)
Unfortunately each of those teams we need to win is an underdog.
A few teams that we'd pass in the RPI if they lost today:
Michigan
George Washington
UConn
Davidson
Fortunately each of those teams is also an underdog.
If we find a way to win tonight we will be somewhere between 59-63 in the RPI depending on how all of these other games shake out. I know I sound like a broken record, but keep in mind that two teams with very good RPIs are ineligible for the tourney, so our number is really two spots better than it appears.

It's cute that you seem to think anything but a tourny win gets us in the dance. Would love it, but ain't gonna happen. We just aren't good enough or consistent enough. Dawgs lose by 15 tonight

I'm very knowledgeable of tourney selection and I've been clear on this since before the SEC tourney started:
If we beat South Carolina tonight then lose tomorrow we have a very small chance of making the dance (I'd guess around 10%)
If we beat South Carolina and then beat Kentucky Saturday but lose in the SEC tourney final we almost definitely would make the dance (I'd say 80% chance)
If we beat South Carolina and Kentucky then lose in the finals our RPI would be somewhere between 48-56 (again, with two teams ahead of us not eligible). Major conference teams with RPIs of 50 or better make the dance nearly every time.
Are you always this miserable?

I'm never miserable. I live an awesome life and love every aspect of it. I make jokes and tell the truth. You reading into that is something you must battle yourself internally. Apparently the truth has you riled up. Figure it out. It's all good.

Florida vs. Texas A&M (Florida win helps us)
Mr. Expert, may I ask you to respond to the following question regarding your expert analysis on the Florida/TAMU game?
Q: Does a Florida win really help? Seeing how they are ahead of us right now by a good margin in RPI and solidly on Lunardi's(another expert) bubble, would Florida beating a team that is already dancing to maybe help our RPI really worth it? Would you rather not want a team with an already top 50 RPI to lose?
UGA needs a LOT of things to happen if we get an at-large bid by simply making the SECT finals...most importantly, teams on the bubble ahead of us with stronger RPIs to lose ASAP, but I'm not the expert, so would love to understand where my logic is flawed on this one, so I can better converse in the future around tournament at-large bids

Fair point, you could definitely make the case that a Florida loss could bounce them from the tourney and thus help us. I think they are in regardless, so I said a win from them helps us since we played them twice and only played A&M once.
Nothing I'm saying is that controversial. If we beat South Carolina tonight, then beat Kentucky tomorrow, the majority of prognosticators would have us in. Kentucky is a strong RPI team and we would be riding a six game winning streak. Our RPI would probably be around 50 assuming a loss in the finals on Sunday. Major conference teams with that RPI make the dance the majority of the time. I'm sorry if those numbers got you upset.
Don't misunderstand me, I definitely don't think we'd beat Kentucky. They are far more talented and it would be a virtual home game for them. I'm just saying if we beat them we'd make the dance.
Care to bet on South Carolina beating us by 15?

Like I said, I don't get upset over message boards. I just speak the truth and there would need to be a LOT of other things to happen for us to get to that RPI and to get in without winning.
Florida is not in at the moment. In fact, they probably need the win today to get there, which, in my not so expert opinion, would hurt us.

Well Phuck...there goes a bubble spot...Mich just hit a buzzer beater to down IU

Teams that you lost to moving up in rpi really doesn't help you. Baylor winning today, for instance, has 0 impact on uga making the tournament.
We want teams ahead of us to lose and teams that we have beaten to win.

Wins by teams that beat us absolutely do impact our SOS. Admittedly any one win by those teams don't make a huge impact, but every team you play (whether you beat them or not) does impact your SOS.

no I totally agreed with that part of your post. We wanted michigan to lose for sure. We definitely want uconn to lose. The Kansas-Baylor game is definitely irrelevant and I think we would rather have Florida lose but that one is a little more complicated as Florida winning gives us a slightly better chance to win the conference tourney.

I doubt this.

Yeah in the long haul, that is definitely true and every little thing helps. I root for those teams for sure over the course of the season but it's over by now. Especially because those are already fine losses on our resume that won't kill us.
Georgia is 10000000% NOT getting into the tournament because Baylor and seton hall win their conference tournaments. We are getting in by winning and having bubble teams lose.
