13 outta the SEC looks pretty likely at this point. I'd be surprised if they only got 12. I guess if Arkansas lost to South Carolina again you could keep them out. But even if Vandy and OU lose it's only a Q1 loss.

As of now the "automatic qualifiers" would be: B1G: Ohio State NW Big 12: Cincinnati Utah Big East: Villanova Butler ^assuming Xavier makes it. After that you need 10 more teams. I'd say the following are most likely being selected: Nebraska Georgetown Boise State (unless they make...

It's pretty obviously no. But my guess is he will. How can you not be impressed by finishing 17th in the NET in an 18 team league?!

Do you know there is more to a season than just your conference record? Miss St is 8-10 in the SEC, but were in the top 25 as of this past week. And is line to be a single digit seed in the tournament this year and make their 3rd in a row.

We basically already are Washington this year. We were 17th in the NET they are 18th in the NET in the B1G.

We finished 17th out of 18 teams in the NET, we aren't sniffing The Crown. Maybe if enough teams back out of the NIT we can play in that second rate tournament again.

Just like last year, lose 4 of our last 5 games.

It's not at a program with an expectation level. He took over a program that went 18-0 in league play and two years later ran it into the ground at 3-15.

I contend with Hawkins and PP, we may have been a fringe bubble team. But the conference schedule was tougher this season, so you never know. Takes a pretty big leap to go from 90th in the NET to top 60, especially given how Ben schedules the OOC.

Sure, but this isn't 1995 anymore.

Those players yielded basically the same quality as this year's team. Only significantly less notable wins.

Who's your definition of good?

A year zero heading into what would be his 5th season... incredible

I said with 5 games to go we would need a combo of 7 wins. I think our only chance is winning out til the B1G Tournament final. That would put us at 21-15 (assuming we play on weakling Wednesday), with at least 10 Q1 wins, maybe more depending on how the bracket would shake out and how some of...

I agree the games against Yale, Omaha, Cleveland State and North Texas turned out to pretty much be best case scenario for our OOC SOS. But scheduling the best team in the Summit or Horizon will still only be scheduling a team in the 120-175ish range typically. Scheduling an additional 5 games...

Yeah, but the other two teams added are borderline top 25 teams. This year we will have played 14 Q1 games, last year only 9 in the regular season. Not only is the league deeper, we had a more difficult schedule.

When I say tougher, I mean there are more good teams. Last year the league sent 6 teams to the tournament. This year it's looking like 9/10 will. We also had to play MSU and Wisconsin twice, the two best teams in the league. Last year we only played Purdue, Illinois and Wisconsin once...

Yeah, no shit. We were pretty terrible in the OOC portion of the schedule. I am glad to have gotten this wrong, given the league is tougher than last year. Maybe the team being terrible at home this season will aid this staff to schedule more aggressively in the OOC next year.

Your impression would be incorrect. I've never rooted against the Gophers. I even said earlier in this thread I expect CBJ back. I am glad we have 7 B1G wins. I wish it meant something in terms of NCAA tournament aspirations but CBJ can't schedule and have this team perform well enough in OOC...

What's your prediction on the Wisconsin and Rutgers games and how far will we go in the B1G Tournament (assuming we make it) great basketball savant.
