We've got the 4th toughest schedule in the country remaining.

By Ken Pom Rank (home games bolded)

15 - @A&M
44 - Vandy
2 - @Auburn
6 - Tennessee
29 - @Mizzou
68 - LSU
5 - @Florida
23 - Miss St
22 - Kentucky

21 - @Ole Miss
29 - Missouri
39 - @UT

Win 5 of 6 remaining home games gets us to 7-11, which is a high bar based on Moser's home history in conference, BUT can we catch 1 win on the road and get to 8-10? If we can somehow go 3-4 in the next 7, we have a chance to get on a run in the last 5...
 
Man, it’s really hard seeing more than four wins the reminder of the season. OU really needed to be 4-1 heading into the last half of the season. But, stranger things have happened.

I can see four. We will have to hold serve and then steal one to get to five. The A&M collapse and Texas hangover really hurt.
 
Sec is an absolute meat grinder. Worse than b 12 i think, particularly in the frontcourt. Size and talent in the post across the league is really something

The above being said, outside of a few teams there has been crazy inconsistent play by teams on the road. Inexplicable collapses and scores weekly.

Btw, i assume our not seeing jones and jn means they are not playing this year?

No way they play this year
 
We are certainly capable of winning all of our remaining home games. Unfortunately, history tells us this is highly unlikely. Winning one more road game is probably our ceiling as well. Regardless, play one possession at a time and one game at a time and see what happens. You never know.
 
The biggest difference between last year and this year is our non-con Q1 wins.

Last year in Q1 - (4-12)
This year in Q1 - (4-3)

We have 10 more Q1 games, 2 more Q2 games.

Assuming we win the Q2 games, then we would need to go 2-8 in the Q1 games to be at 19 wins, 6 Q1 wins, and a bubble chance. going 3-7 in the Q1 games gets us in, IMO.

Wins? 4 is pushing it, 5 is the magic number?, 6 is a guarantee. (I say that now, who knows how it all shakes out)
