I think we beat Vandy and LSU at home and one of Texas or OU on the road. Might win both.

Being conservative and saying 3-5 with a chance to go 4-4.

Finish 8-10 or 9-9. 19-12 or 20-11 going into the SEC tourney.

They just need to get Robinson, Carr and Butler totally healthy. They also need to get more aggressive on offensive rebounding. They did better today but, will need to really take it up a notch against the rest of the field.. I will say 5-3 with a steal on the road…

Let's play it safe and say 4-4.. were not out of the injury bug just yet.

The real question, what do we need to maintain a 4 seed? What do we need to get up into the 2-3 range? And what would it take to drop to a 6 or 7 seed?

Today was a pretty important win, despite USC not being good. They're still in the KP top80 and we avoid a Q2 loss or lower. Gives us a lot of breathing room.

5-3 or 6-2. I think we may have turned a corner on defense and having Butler back was a huge reason. Energy was there defensively today. Going to need all of that and more with this remaining beast of a schedule.

Win vs lsu, vs vandy, and we will make tournament (two must wins), if we lose in these two, we may face the risk of missing tournament.

Try to win vs TN, @ texas, @ou, these three are most winnable in remaining.

@ Bama, @Mizzou, vs Auburn are hard.

Assume we win vs LSU, vs Vandy, hopefully win 2/3 in vs TN, @texas and @ou, lose all of @bama, @mizzou, vs Auburn, that us 4-4 record and 20-11 overall, may have us in top 5 seed.

20-11 will be top 5 seeds, 19-12 will somewhere between 6-10 and 18-13 will be in bubble? I dont know how committed will treat us, as this year sec is too strong

I’m going to be conservative and say 3-5, depends on our health and frame of mind. I’m hoping we can get on a run and win out! Let’s get the W Tuesday night and then I will update my guess.

We have 6 quad one games left. 1 quad two and 1 quad three. Win the quad two and three games and maybe 2 more quad one wins and we will have a pretty decent resume. (9 quad 1 wins). Probably a 4 seed.

I'll be content with 4-4, winning the games we are supposed to. 5-3 or better would be a bonus.

I honestly think 3-5 or 4-4. We are just not strong enough defensively. All the remaining games are probably less than a 4-5 point spread. That's close to 50/50 in my book. Whichever team gets hot will win.

5-3 in the stretch. 21-10 on the year, 10-8 in the SEC

Losing to the #1 team in the counry, #3 team on the road, and a very difficult road game vs Mizzou.
If Butler and Car are healthy looking like 6-2 or better to me.

5-3

Lose at Bama and at home to Auburn and drop another random one. Maybe to Missouri.

Good enough to get us a 3? Not sure but I hope so.

Would love to go 2-0 this week. Would make 6-2 rest of way possible and i think lock up a top 4 seed. But so hard to know. We could beat Auburn at home and lose to Oklahoma on the road.

6-2 for 22-9 and 11-7 record to end the year.

Honestly this is my optimistic side talking here. This team has been all over the place, but maybe we are getting healthy again?
