Impressive performance tonight men. As I have stated many times, win out and it makes things helluva lot easier. This game should definitely put us on right side of the bubble.

IMO, win one of the next 2 and we are pretty much a lock. Lose both and we'll be sweating the SEC tournament

Hopefully we’re getting “hot” at the right time. You never know…

Playing with confidence makes such a huge difference. Great win.

Our record in Columbia the past several years is abysmal. Can't lose focus.

Our NET (33) is still ahead of Vandy (37) after last night.

Vandy is looking at an 8/9 seed right now. If we can win @USCe and then beat Vandy at home, we will be moving ourselves into that 9/10 range….as long as we don’t go winless in the SECT

If we can get 20 wins or more, we’ll be in comfortably. It would be hell to have to play that play in game for your 1st tournament appearance in 100 years.

If we beat USCe, we are in. Lot of those teams play each other. Also, Arkansas just lost bad to USC and he didn’t drop them much. Our NET and blind resume will get us in with the committee. As I mentioned, we still have a better NET than Vandy and they are a 9/10 seed right now…

Beating Vandy and 1 in SECT would get us a 10 seed minimum

I could see us winning two games in the toruney if we can do that and win our final two regular seasons game an 8/9 seed isn’t unrealistic.

Getting past the third round would require some kind of big upset since it would likely be one of Bama, Florida, Tennessee, or Auburn. But hey it ain’t caused March Madness for nothing

That win at Texas was huge. We basically flipped positions with Texas.
We have some good players and I'm happy for them; it looks like they are player better as a team especially on offense.
Gooooo Dawgs!!

I don't just want to be in, I want to be in with a bye.

If we beat USCe and don’t lose 1st round of SECT, we will be in with a “bye”

I think if we beat Vandy and USC we'll be in with a bye.

Of course an additional win in the SECT will help too.

Well of course…cause if we beat USCe and lose to Vandy, we will still be in with a bye, assuming we don’t absolutely suck in the 1st round of the SECT.

The last two wins put us in a great spot…don’t pay attention to Lunardi. Dude is crap and just moving around his bubble teams to stay relevant. He is also not putting enough weight into the fact the PAC10 is gone.

We are in with a bye right now…right on the line between a 10 or 11

The NCAA committee relies a lot on strength of conferences and NET rankings. We are 33 right now, well ahead of all the other bubble teams.

If we win @USCe and lose to Vandy at home, with all the other “bubble teams” still playing each other and weaker opponents…I think we still end up a 10 seed, perhaps 11 if we lose bad in SECT opener.

Honestly, if we finish 1-1 and win 1 in SECT, I think we end up a 10. Vandy, whose NET is higher than ours, has a lot of momentum with the committee right now, having won 3 straight over top 25/30. So a win would overcome a loss to USCe or a loss would not punish us if we beat USCe. Winning both and SECT opener would have us probably a 9 seed. Personally, I like our chances better of making Sweet 16 if we are a 10 seed. frick playing any of those number 1s (we did play Auburn close twice) on a neutral court

Last - all the other bubble teams in the 10/11/playin/just out area…have losses outside Q1 except Indiana, who plays @Oregon and then bubble team Ohio State this week
