The TAMU game is getting easier. Duane Wilson is out for the season now with a knee injury. They kicked one player off the team yesterday while indefinitely suspending another.
I'd rather be a 7 seed -- and get a 2 in the second roundIf you look at the way the tournament works, an 8 or 9 seed gives you the best shot to go further in the tournament. Win the 1st game and you are matched against the likely 1 seed in your region in the 2nd game. Win that and you'll have a fairly winnable path to the final 4 before facing the tougher competition. That is what happened when we made an elite eight run if I remember correctly.
The order of finish is all important now. We are currently 5th with a RPI 0f 33. If we can maintain that position, we are in. There are 4 teams 1 game behind us so we need to beat LSU, Arky, and one more team among the 4 remaining games which are UK, Florida, T A&M, and Auburn. We have a very good chance of going 4-2 in the last 6 games. If so we are at 20 wins and we are will be dancing no matter what happens in the SEC tourney.
That leaves them with maybe 2 ball handlers. They're in big trouble.The TAMU game is getting easier. Duane Wilson is out for the season now with a knee injury. They kicked one player off the team yesterday while indefinitely suspending another.

Yep, they need to come in with all their players healthy and the team highly ranked. We would then beat the tar out of them. If they come in with several players injured and the team not highly thought of we will lose big time.I'd rather get them at their best --- so maybe we won't play with a letdown.
That's correct, current rpi is 32 , some sites list a current and projected rpi. Some of them have the projected rpi at 28 or 29. But we are currently at 32According to who? I'm seeing us at 32.
We're passing you a ticked off but discombobulated UK team on a 4 game losing streak with real danger of missing the dance should you beat them. Good luck Saturday.
Our fans were chanting "N-I-T!" at them. What a time to be alive.
Gee, thanks.
I don't want to say anything about them that I'll regret after Saturday, so I'm not going to comment on Kentucky other than say Jeff Goodman probably isn't making Kentucky fans feel all warm and fuzzy.Our fans were chanting "N-I-T!" at them. What a time to be alive.
Calipari last endured a 5 game losing streak in 1990, Kentucky in 1989. Give them another one.
He isn't wrong. Kentucky has somehow become less than the sum of its parts lately.I don't want to say anything about them that I'll regret after Saturday, so I'm not going to comment on Kentucky other than say Jeff Goodman probably isn't making Kentucky fans feel all warm and fuzzy.
I am beyond psyched. I scored tickets to Rupp this weekend so I'll get to cheer us on in person. Been a while since I've gotten too see the roundball squad live.I don't want to say anything about them that I'll regret after Saturday, so I'm not going to comment on Kentucky other than say Jeff Goodman probably isn't making Kentucky fans feel all warm and fuzzy.
It has some value, but the RPI is a VERY imperfect metric and thankfully the committee sees it that way. They’ve taken at large 70+ rpi’s and left 20+ or 30+ rpi’s at home. That’s the extreme, but it demonstrates the true value of the rpi.That's correct, current rpi is 32 , some sites list a current and projected rpi. Some of them have the projected rpi at 28 or 29.
