I am normally optimistic to a fault..... but we are just not good.
Are we an NCAA tournament team?

People thought an offensively challenged, defensive oriented Quaintance would be the savior and propel this team to the FF.
With the SEC still being a tough league. We may not get to the NIT
Before to long Kentucky will be a team you pick on the play station to make good. Program is in shambles but you can come recruit some good players and turn it around and win 25 national championships in a roll
You have to almost try in order to miss the ncaat. We have zero bad losses and 2 good wins. That gets us in if the pattern holds. Honestly we are far from missing the ncaat.
If the actual answer in March is “no”, we need to cut ties and move on. That may sound extreme in year two, but if the biggest NIL expenditure in the country can’t even clear the pitifully low threshold of simply making the tournament, Pope —> door.
Those 2 good win teams are no longer ranked. Sometimes it's okay to accept the sky is falling.
Somehow UNC got in last year with no quad 1 wins i believe. Maybe had 1 bogus one. The acc was so weak last year too... that said UK wont get gifts like UNC
I don’t think so and even if we do make it at this point we won’t win anything games. We would get a decent team first round and get down 20 in the first half and quit.
Remains to be seen. If we take care of the non-elite teams in the conference and finish mid-pack, we probably get in the field somewhere in the 8-12 seed range. Our floor appears to be lower than that though. We don’t really have any impressive wins and the SEC isn’t quite as historically good as it was last year. If we struggle and finish below .500 in league play, the NIT is certainly on the table.
I'd say 8-10 in conference would get us in as we won't have the opportunity to get hit with a terrible loss. 10-11 seed. If we play a team with any semblance of a high scoring offense in the first round it will be all over. Louisville, Mich St, Gonzaga and now Alabama just hit 3's at will and we have no firepower to catch up. We choked away the UNC game. Win less than 8 in conference and we might be looking at one of the two SEC slots in the NIT.
