Postseason outlook

[Perd Hapley]

The way I see it, we are 4 rainouts away from a 2-seed.

Seriously….there is absolutely nothing good that can come from playing any of these last 4 games. If you were to tell me we weren’t going to play any of them, or play any games in Hoover, and just take our chances with the current body of work…..I’d absolutely take it right now.

Well unfortunately that’s not the case.. gonna have to ball out this week. Is what it is!

We’re easily in if the season ended today. Go 3-1 this week and Hoover shouldn’t matter at all.

And honestly, I think 3-1 is the floor this week. I know Missouri swept A & M. But they’re still 3-24.

Yeah won’t be surprised at all if we go 4-0.

Bump. 1 down, 3 to go!

If we can't beat mizzou 2 out of 3, we don't need to go to the post season anyway.

The point was that even beating them hurts our resume.

Did we just outright nix the game?

ETA: Never mind, I see the other thread now.

We're not going to be hurt by beating Mizzou. We aren't hosting, so who cares. UCLA, FSU, Georgia Tech.....we're still going on the road. We need to win these games to prove we truly belong in the tournament.

Disagree. RPI-wise, we’re just barely inside the 2/3 cut line right now. And even a sweep would potentially drop the RPI a few spots. I’d much rather be a weak 2 going against a 3 like Kansas State / Kansas or Troy than a 3 going against someone like Georgia Tech, Wake, Miami, or Louisville.

It's the difference between winning 12 and 14/15 conference games. It won't hurt us. The only thing that hurts us is losing games against them.

I think A&M guys started taking all the hype of how they turned it around and did not play well the first game and the loss cost them two more losses. They started off number one in the nation and Ole Miss got to number six. Just show how much the voters really know.

We are currently 32 in the RPI. Boyd’s World needs report says if we sweep Mizzou we will stay in the Top 32. Only win 1 or 2 and we should still be in the Top 45.
