    Aggies were projected to be one of the top sec teams this year by most and have disappointed so far. Hope that continues. .

    Wouldn't this be a quad one win for us?

    aTm NET is 46. That's quad one on the road, I think.

    If it matters, KenPom puts their schedule as stronger than ours. 26 vs. 37.

    True, but will they be a quad one win at the end of the season? Maybe...

    12-8 is concerning. And it's a 12-8 team that I don't think we are guaranteed to beat. We need to be on top of our stuff today.

    Thanks, I think I was misinterpreting the kenpom #s. Still don't know what "EM" means in "AdjEM." I see also that A&M has played 8 Q1 games and the Gators have played 7. Please strike the previous comment re: A&M schedule from the record, your honor. :D

    Lunardi has Florida now as team #65. So last team to not receive a bye, but in.

    I know there’s still nine or 10 games to play but I just don’t see us being not one of the best 68 teams in the country. If we don’t get into this tourney , it will be a shame.

    I think the quad one rating depends on their rating at the time you play them not the end of the season.

    I sure hope so. It would make sense to get a Q1 win then have that opponent lose key players to injury and fall off. Why would a team be eval'd based upon the quality of an opponent that looks completely diff?

    It’s not the best 68 teams.

    End of season is what matters.

    it would be a significant under achievement for this roster/team to not make the field, imo.
    I would not have figured we would be having bubble discussions at this point.
    But several big games left that could, and hopefully do, lock us in.

    True , but we keep screwing it up. We give up big leads like the previous staff . Wonder what the common denominator might be?

    With the guys in and out of the lineup earlier this year, I'm not shocked we're at this point. I think if Pullin plays vs UVA, we win that game. The Baylor game was going to be tough with or without Handlogten. But I think we could've beaten Wake with him. I think we're solidly in with wins against UVA and WF. Sucks that we had so many close games without a full compliment of players.

    Being too reliant on ZP to initiate the offense seems to be an issue. He seemed tired late in the A&M game, because he had the ball so much. Idk who we go to and feel good about them spelling him, but it would be great if Aberdeen could play quality minutes. Clayton doesn't seem to be comfortable running the point to really give us a second option at PG when ZP sits.

    A win vs Auburn would go a long way in securing a bid. Hopefully we can witn that one and the SEC games we should down the stretch. Can we get to 11-12 SEC wins?

    Yeah… maybe. But compared to prior years, and probably in comparison to “normal”.. we have been pretty injury and incident free.

    It is the top 40 or so teams and a lot of automatic qualifiers.
