GAME 25 - OKLAHOMA (16-8) vs LSU (12-12) 5:00pm CST on SECNETWORK

[Boom Soon]

They’re already passed us in NET and KenPom. They also are playing their best ball and have a much better chance than we do to add to their resume, while we don’t even have a pulse.

That’s fine I just don’t think they’ll win enough games to get in

We might end up with a winning record that gets us a NIT bid, one and out.

Win total isn’t really a big deal. Even if it is, they will end up with more wins than we do.

They really are neck and neck and will come down to how we finish. It doesn't help that in our losses we look like complete absolute dogs***

 

[Boom Soon]

If we had two more wins we’d be feeling A LOT better about the state of things.

I agree. They were the best two players according to sources over the summer. I’m willing to say that losing them for the entire season really hurts. BUT, the product on the court, at times, during conference season has been inexcusable regardless of who is hurt

I think so. 18 wins gets them to the NIT. Be interesting to see if they accept the invite

“
Exempt teams include the top two teams not selected for the NCAA Tournament from both the ACC and SEC. Additionally, the top team not selected for March Madness from the top 12 conferences (based on KenPomrankings) will receive an exempt bid to the NIT. All teams who receive an exempt bid are guaranteed the opportunity to host a first-round game.

The top teams from each conference will be determined based on an average of a number of ranking systems: ESPN Basketball Power Index (BPI), Kevin Pauga Index (KPI), NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET), Ken Pomeroy Rating (KenPom), Strength of Record (SOR), Torvik ranking and Wins Above Bubble (WAB) ranking.”

Moser is likely getting fired if no NCAA, so I don’t think we need to worry about the NIT.

 

[mict085]

Are we really arguing whether us or arky is gonna make it? I don’t think either of us is getting in.

We do this every year with moser. Early optimism, excuses for bad losses, eventually we argue our bad team is better than some other bad team. Then, finally…we are left out again. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Gross.

 

[Final fOUr]

What about the new Crown Tournament? Seems better than NIT

Either we barely make it in, we almost make it in, or we aren’t all that close to making it in. None of those options excite me. That’s because what I watch doesn’t excite me and and a consolation bid won’t make me think my eyes are lying.

 

[CoachTalk]

Gotta start somewhere to have a winning streak!

 

[CMSOONER]

Nice take by Miles for the and 1

 

[opsooner]

Nice stiff arm from Goodine

 

[opsooner]

LSU might be a good opponent for us. They play volleyball like we do.
