#10, Last 4 Bye's in lastest Bracketology

[o_HuntDawg]

We are #10. #3 on the last 4 byes. Lunardi has us currently on the right side of the bubble.

Interesting thing i saw though is both Texas AM and Ole Miss are above us. Florida is behind us. But we are all right there jumbled together.

Need to run off some wins.

On the women's side, Charlie Creme has us as an 8 seed. We were a 9 seed Friday, so not a big jump.

Yeah we played 1 game against the NET/RPI top 50 in our non conference and ranked 134 overall. Not good. Might end up costing a hosting spot.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

We're going to close out strong and make the tourney, we may be one and done, but it will be something to build one. We have the talent to play with just about anyone, if we're hot and they struggle, so you never know what will happen in the first round of the tourney.

This team is the Rodney Dangerfield of women's basketball this year.

Not sure about others but I'm getting bored with the "something to build on" years. This goes for football and baseball also.

Problem with the schedule the next few weeks is we have zero room for a letdown game. This team is way to inconsistent for me to trust it to play well for 6 games in a row.

The women’s non conference scheduling this year was horrible. We played FOUR SWAC teams. We should never play more than one. Playing four is ridiculous and drags our NET down because of how bad they are.

I agree, but I just can't give up on the team like others. I"m staying positive. If we miss the NCAA tourney, I may turn negative then.

To be fair, we can win a couple of those games without having to play super well. Kinda like the Vandy game.

Which one?

UGA has been in a lot of games with the upper tier of the conference.. they just havent closed them out
Mizzou? We arent good enough to play our B game on the road and beat anyone.. plus Mizzou is going to beat someone this year
Ark? Probably the one where we should win regardless
Ole Miss-- enough said.. we'll need a well played game
LSU- see Mizzou and our road record
Kentucky-- shouldnt even be grouped in this conversation.

Specifically referring to Mizzou and Arkansas who are a combined 2-16 in SEC play. And one of those two wins was Arkansas winning at Mizzou.

Yep, I talked about this in another thread. Two of those four SWAC teams are REALLY bad:
Alcorn State - 334
Arkansas Pine Bluff - 157
Jackson State - 104
Mississippi Valley - 348

For context on Alcorn and Mississippi Valley... There are only about 350 total Division I women's basketball programs.

 

[o_HuntDawg]

I agree Arkansas. I don’t trust us road wise enough to say we can play just ok and win on the road

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

Mizzou is 0-9 in conference and likely 0-10 by the time we play them. And it’s not like they’ve played murderer’s row. If we can’t win that game, no point in tracking our tourney resume anymore.

 

[Called3rdstrikedawg]

I don't see a road win or another neutral site win this year from this group.

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

I don't see a road win or another neutral site win this year from this group.

Again, Mizzou is 8-14 overall and 0-9 in the league.

LSU isn’t very good either.

I get that we have stunk on the road but other than our very first road game in late November without Tolu, all of our road losses are to tourney teams and most in tough environments. There may be 30 people in the stands in Columbia on Saturday.

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

And in fairness to our GT loss, Duke and UNC have also lost in that building this year.

Not saying we shouldn’t win. Saying we can’t play average and win.

next two games are likely games mizzou feels good about winning. And again I don’t think they go 0-18 in conference.

we need to play well there.

you realize that these other teams are saying the same thing about us. They look at us and see a team at the bottom of the standings and say this is a team we can beat. This isn’t one of the top teams

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

I don't see but 3 wins. Seriously tho. Kentucky and OM are probable losses plus we will drop another. Not saying this team.doesnt have the ability but they are not gonna play at 100% effort or play mistake free ball which would be necessary to win all 6. Plus we now have the injury excuse. But if we have to play our way in we have improved zero from last year, which was " something to build on".

 

[Mr. Cook]

This season has only 2 byes:

“Bye bye”

 

[olblue]

Georgia is better but it takes time to recover from Tom Crean. They have a couple of road wins including SC and took Florida to OT in Gainesville. They have a couple of guys who can score so this one isn’t an automatic cakewalk.
