Lunardi had the last 8 teams just out of the tournament

Clemson was not listed. That basically means we have to run the table to get in IMO. Just not enough top 50 wins despite having a decent record in conference. Every game down the stretch is winnable, but that's a tall task for this team. The Pitt game will be tough even though it's at home. That game and the conference tournament will be our last chance to show we can actually beat decent teams. Nobody cares if we rack up wins vs the likes of WF and GT.

I think nobody in media cares if we beat them but they will kill us if we lose. Just keep winning and make them eat their words

we have 4 regular season games left before the Tournament

we need to win all the games we should win (and sorry for the prounoun case--just trying to keep it concise) and I think realistically the Tigers can go 3-1 giving us a record of 20-10 going into the ACCT. Win one there and that makes it 21-11.....now, we have no control over any of the conference teams above us except Pitt--and I think thats the one we'll probably lose--largely because they're better than we are (I sincerely hope I get to hear a chant from our student section: "Pitt students S*CK!). Equally as important, we have no control how teams in other conferences fare towards the end of regular season nor how many tournament upsets there'll be prior to invitations to March Madness. I think its those outcomes that will decide which tournament we get invited to---cuz we're going to post-season play somewhere
I'll be slightly disappointed if we don't get an invite to the NCAA, because I think this Tiger team could do some damage. But I'm not going to whine if we only get an NIT invite. NO ONE thought even that possible back in October.

We have no chance at the tourney unless we beat Pitt

We might be able to drop one of those other games, but it'll hurt us if we do. We have to finish 5th in the conference record-wise and get a least 1 more quality win in the regular season to have a chance IMO. We would be helped some if KJ had a higher profile, but for the most part he's still pretty unknown to most folks in college basketball.

According to RPI Wizard website, losing to Allbarn....
Feb 23, 2014, 7:33 PM

really costed us.... If we win out as is now we'd have an RPI of around 50, if we win out and had beaten Allbarn we would be 35-40 RPI.
This is not counting what happens in ACCT.

This season, IMO, losing to ANY SEC team save
Feb 23, 2014, 8:04 PM

Florida or UK in Lexington would have dropped us in the RPI. Even the chickens beat Vandy--albeit at the new coop--and Vandy's usually an NCAA invite. Tenn's been up and down this year--who knows what they'll do in their tourney. Who else from the SEC is going to go March Madness?? UGa? Mizzoo?? I'm probably forgetting someone....
I don't know. But I figured at the time--somehow--the loss to Auburn was going to hurt down the road--even though it was on the plains.

According to espn, we rank 339 in scoring, 332 in assists
Feb 23, 2014, 7:52 PM

per game and 307 in FG percentage.
Our record in one of the best conferences is good enough to merit bubble talk. But statistically, we look like cr@p.
Just win tigers and shock the world

On Twitter, he had us in his "four more" category

which apparently comes after the "next four." According to his rankings, we are the tenth team out of the tournament. Just have to keep winning and hope.
