Its going to be hard from here on out. In my opinion we will probably get to 10 wins and squarely on the bubble. Our non conference will hurt us.

I do think it brings us back to the bubble.

10 games has been our target the whole season. Pretty much universally agreed that 10 games gets us in. Think even the Espn, etc Bracket guys have said that.

9 or 10 seed

We'll see. I think there's a pretty good chance 2nd Gen becomes right in hindsight sight. Our athletic shortcomings are starting to make it clear we have to shoot very high percentages to have a fighting chance against teams with above average length and athletes.

Maybe we can land the wins we need especially if we catch one of the key teams left on the schedule on an off night or we have a 55% night from 3.

Probably, which I'd consider on the bubble.

I think 10 wins will be iffy. We need 4 more wins to feel good about getting in.

I'm mostly concerned whether we can hold it together with this losing streak. Lots of bad body language and bad play tonight. We needed to figure out how to win that one.

Look he threw the team together and they have overachieved. Which is good. But I am not confident going forward. too many holes on the roster.

Have to be realistic on expectations for Bucky's first season and still a great opportunity to make the tournament. But, this loss hurts. First game in which we were favored, at home, and let it get away.

I'm starting to have doubts that the Ags will win 10.

Yep. This one might turn out to be the bubble buster. Recent history has shown selection committees aren't too kind to us in the first place

I think we beat Ole Miss, OU, and LSU at a minimum. That would be 10.

We will make the tourney, stop being dramatic. We will be favored against Miss, tu, OK, and LSU, which would put us at 11 SEC wins.

We didn't have the easiest time against OU, at home no less. Don't think I'd be putting that one in the bag just yet. Two weeks ago I might've

True. The wild card games are gonna be Texas and Kentucky.

10 wins likely has us right on the bubble. Will just depend on other results and bid stealers.

11 wins I think we are in.

I still feel good about our chances at Vanderbilt.

Is Vanderbilt still down Duke Miles?

Well we've already seen that a SEC tourney run won't get us anywhere. Gotta finish these last 7 hard. I think it's gonna take 11 wins to get us there

He didn't play last game out, but like Florida, Vandy gets a midweek bye before they play us

No they don't, they played Auburn last night.

But Jesus Christ some of yall are dramatic. This was a bad game but it's not like Mizzou is awful, this win probably puts them on the right side of the bubble.

You're gonna have bad games. We have plenty of winnable games left and we only need three or four of them.

We are not out but we just put Mizz in potentially. We better get our **** together quick.

We can definitely still play our way in, no doubt about that. I think the point here is that this loss was A significant point in the season. A win there and our path is highly likely and straight forward, after this loss, it's a lot closer to 50/50.

The other concerning development is we're showing that defensively we have no answers for teams with length and a little bit of offensive diversity. That puts enormous pressure on our offense to be ultra efficient.
linkdude

the silver lining is we have shown we can be efficient. I trust our offense (when we're not playing UF)
bobinator

It's still highly likely. Torvik still has our odds above 90%.

We're gonna be favored in 5 of our last 7 games, we only need to win 4 of them to be safe and maybe only 3 of them. Three of the games will have spreads similar to tonight.

Three of them are teams we've already beaten once.

I still like our chances against Ole Miss, @OU, @LSU, and hosting the sips. Finding an upset against Vandy, UK, or Arkansas would be fantastic, but double digit conference wins (and the committee punishing Bama a bit) should have us line-dancing.

We'll be favored against Kentucky also unless a lot changes between now and then

I'm back to where I was when they year began. I don't expect to play in March at this point but will be pleasantly surprised if we somehow win enough to squeak in.

We are fine we've lost four games either in OT or at the buzzer. We've lost 3 games in conf all at the end. One of those with an illegal player.

We just can't give baskets away and ct miss free throws. We are small and will get beat on the glass. We will be a match up nightmare in the tourney.
