Our RPI was 41 going into the MSU game Tuesday and as I look it up now it is 48 so we are in striking distance. Hopefully State will go on a run and help our RPI. We need to win a game or 2 we are not supposed to win and beat all of the teams we should beat plus on top of that we have to win at least 2 in the SEC tourney. In addition to that the committee will have give bids to at least 6 to 7 in the SEC. We are more than likely destined for the NIT which would a more than successful season in my mind.
Here is our remaining schedule:
We need to beat Missouri, State, Auburn, Arkansas, and Georgia. We need to split (2-2) with A&M, Florida, LSU and UK. If we do that we we'll end up 10-8 in conference play and we'll be 20-12 going into the tourney. We win 2 in the tourney and I think we are in. Do I think it will be easy? Absolutely not, but if we have a few things fall our way we at least have shot. Considering in the past 5 years we pretty much knew in December that we had no shot at the tourney, I'd say this year so far has been a rousing success. We are into February and can at least still talk about having a chance to play our way in. We also have to have Kessens and Hale back healthy to have a prayer of any of this though.
BTW, There will be recruits there Saturday so be as rowdy as possible.
Buckle up and Roll Tide.
