nation in blocks, Ravern leads the nation in 3pt % and we won at Rupp. Ravern has to shoot more in the second half.

but that team just seems to completely shot. I don't even know if they can win a single SEC game this season.

Since we play the west teams twice and the east teams only once, doesn't it help our RPI for the west team to beat the east team?

It probably doesn't matter since our RPI is so low, etc.

I'm thinking that if we win 8 of our last 11 conference games and two in the SEC tourney, we might sneak in. I wonder if we could be left out even if we do that. I'm afraid that the answer may be yes.

Anybody got some wisdom here?

the West champion has made the NCAA tournament every year since the conference split into divisions, save once, I think that's a pretty decent correlation to making the NCAA tournament. But you are the same mongoloid idiot who thinks covering the spread and winning a game are the exact same thing. Or you're the worthless troll who just posts **** to get people stirred up. Either way, you remain wrong, as always.

"the West champion has made the NCAA tournament every year since the conference split into divisions, save once,"

that has happened recently as the strength of the SEC has been down the last couple of years, I dont think its wrong to have higher goals than winning the weaker side of the conference

Also considering that the West will be decided before we know about making the tournament, then the West should be our immediate goal. Then, once that is taken care of, like you said, the NCAA berth will likely follow. To coach: no one said we didn't have higher expectations than winning the West, but that is one of the goals of each season as it should be.

The two go hand in hand. So is it wrong if people wish we would win the West?

but a West title is an extremely small goal in relation to a successful basketball season. And some people here act like it is the greatest thing in basketball because thats all we seem to accomplish

In a weak SEC, wouldn't you say that winning the Western Division is a lot more important than in years when the SEC is considered strong?

an extremely small goal that all but guarantees a tourney bid, not to mention you get to hang a banner and get a trophy and a ring. I mean, isn't hardware the reason you play.

Keep backing up and rationalizing your point. Hey, did you see where Arkansas upset Tennessee last night?
