1) The infamous "eye" test of bubble teams with 20+ wins<div>Many eyes on our games early in the year against AZ and WV, against Baylor and Kentucky. Bost and Moultrie pass the test talent wise, which believe it or not counts for more than you think.</div><div>
</div><div>2) The wins against SC and Ark even though they aren't good teams, meant a lot</div><div>We were being watched there and that really did answer the question after the 5 game loss.</div><div>
</div><div>3) Tournament games don't mean much at all to the committee unless a lower level team wins the whole tournament</div><div>So if Ole Miss or Georgia wins the SECT, its anybody's guess</div><div>
</div><div>4) RPI while important is not a huge factor - eye test beats RPI</div><div>
</div><div>5) None of our key starters are hurt and out</div><div>This would put us out if Bost, Moultrie or possibly Hood were hurt and out</div><div>
</div><div>P.S. The more we are shown on Lunardi's "First Four Out" it gets our name out there and is great for visibility for recruits in the next 3-4 years.</div><div>
</div><div>My opinion only.</div>

we are still in the "last four in". Our rpi is awful. Has there ever been a team get in with an rpi as bad as ours? Your p.s. is retarded. No offense. No recruit will remember that after two months. Do what VCU and Butler did last year and that's something they remember for 3-4 years.

which is about what ours will be on Selection Sunday. Things have gone pretty well for us tonight so far. Miami lost and Texas is losing. Now Cal and Nevada need to win their semifinal games in their conference tourneys and then win tomorrow.

We really need Cal to win the Pac-12 tournament and Nevada to win the WAC. And as I type this, both teams are losing their semifinal games. Nevada would be a bubble team, but Cal is a lock, and if they bow out, that means the Pac-12 will get a third team in they would not have gotten, unless the tourney champion takes Washington's place. Washington is currently two spots ahead of us in Lunardi's last four in. We also need either St. Louis or Xavier to win the A-10 tourney.
