If we reach 20-21 wins we have a shot. What's wrong with that statement?

There's still a little ray of sunshine to pump, but that was pathetic last night. Giving up 87 points, at home? Ugh.
Gotta win 2 of the last 3 or make some serious noise in the SEC tourney, like getting to the final, to avoid the NIT.

That's an understatement. And White's reaction sums up this season quite nicely.

Yeah, he has to show he can recruit and in order to do that he has to show he can have some success. Right now FSU and UM have better teams than us and coaches that are more established. White needs to find a way to make a splash.

I think you're spot on that we need two of the next three. The committee usually doesn't factor too much into conference tournaments. A deep run may be helpful, but would probably only make a very small difference. Regardless I certainly don't see this bunch making it to Sunday in an SEC final.

The funny part of this is that even if we make the NIT, we cannot host any games due to the renovation which appears to be a major mistake and waste of money that could be applied to sports with a chance to succeed.

Yep we need to beat LSU and Missouri to make sure we get in for sure. LSU has been pretty bad lately. Hopefully they don't right the ship against us.

Well that sucks. But I disagree with the O'Dome renovations. White may be using the renovations as a recruiting tool. Billy D was using it, and when they stopped the renovations he was upset (supposedly). You can't back out 2 years in a row. However, jacking up ticket prices now is not smart.
At least volleyball and gymnastics have their home matches and meets there.

It's beyond pathetic that Leonard freaking Hamilton is a much better option than what we have. Seriously, it's like Foley woke up a few years ago and decided it'd be fun to destroy a stain glass window, just to see what happens.

Leonard Hamilton is an awful coach lol. He hasn't done jack at FSU. Sure, he can recruit but that's only half the battle (plus we know FSU is shady)

I can hear the recruiting pitch now....... "We will have this impressive facility for you to play in. It will be great because you will be able to openly communicate with your teammates since it will be mostly empty and the people that are here will be 20 feet further away from the court than they are now." "It will be great for the 2 years I will be here."

Not necessarily. We aren't getting in with less than 20 wins after these last 2 home losses. We need 3 more wins minimum. It's becoming a long shot at this point. Lunardi dropped the projected number of SEC teams making the tournament to 5 (had 6 previously) We're now 7th place in the SEC folks.

I couldn't disagree more with this. Texas is 18-10 and a 4/5 seed. This is not a normal year. I'm willing to bet if we beat UK and Missouri we are not even on the bubble and might be back to a 7/8 seed. That's way in...still have 9 seeds, 10 seeds, 11 seeds/play in games

We'll see. Hopefully we beat LSU and UK and won't have to worry about it, but I sure as hell wouldn't bet on it. We were a 10 seed bubble team per Lunardi before the home loss to Vandy, so you can bet we are now first 4 out.

A win at LSU, loss at home to UK, win at Mizzou, loss in first round SECT, 19-13 final record has zero percent chance of moving us to a 7/8 seed, zero. It will leave us squarely on the bubble and probably out depending on what the rest of the SEC does.
It's not my opinion, check for yourself, as of today ESPN radio said Lunardi currently projects only 5 spots for the SEC. UK, USC and aTm are in. That leaves 2 spots for Vandy, LSU, Ole Miss, UF, and Bama. Basically you can think of Saturday's game as an elimination game for either UF or LSU however the winner is far from guaranteed a spot in.

I agree with that but think we don't match up good with KY at all and must beat LSU and Missouri to get in short of a big SEC Tourney run. You don't think we are in with just a Missouri or LSU win and 1 win in the SEC tourney do you. I think we are left out in that scenario.
