Key will be what seed aTm is given

[dallasdore]

Completely different circumstances, but remember that, like us, TxAM played pretty poorly in the nonconference portion of the schedule as well. They were 6-5 at one point.

If they are given a 4 seed (or a 3 possibly?), then I think we are in the tournament, as it reflects that the committee is willing to overlook a little the early season shenanigans. If they are a 5, not sure it means anything. If we see aTm given a 6 seed, then we can go ahead and turn the TV's off, we're not getting called.

They should get a top 4 seed IMO. They won at UF, at Mizzou, at Auburn, Ark and Vandy at neutral locations. This is in addition to wins against Bama, UT, Ark and Auburn at home. They did what we did, they just started earlier and were flat out better than we were. Their NET at the end of December was 110, which was also reflective of how poorly they played early on. But they not only won games against good teams, they blew a number of those teams out while we were the cardiac kids.

Ooof 7 seed

[Obvious]

Miss state vs Pitt in the play in game. Hmm

[mathguy]

Good LORD! A&M is a 7?!!?

And Miss State is in ... they should NOT be ahead of us. No way. No how.

[utahozzie]

Beat both teams. What a joke if vandy gets left out

[bernstml19]

We are very out.

So are they putting 9 sec teams in?

[Golddore68]

It’s not good that Miss. State has the “play-in” game. That’s the lowest seeded SEC team in. I don’t think we would have gotten seeded higher than Miss. State.

[UltimateVUFan]

Just noticed that Texas A&M has TWO Quad 4 losses. How is their NET still so much higher than VU’s? The NET is a bogus metric.

[Golddore68]

UT and Kentucky will be in the other region and that will be the SEC teams.

This. The play in game significant. It is the worst of the at larges. We out.

Good draw for Kentucky with a #6 seed.

Surprised Texas A&M only #7 seed after finishing second in SEC reg season and tournament.

Comparing the two:

.... Overall ... SEC .. NET .. Q1W-L .. Q4L .. Last 10
A&M .. 25- 9 .. 15-3 ... 18 ... 7-6 .... 2 ..... 8-2
KY ... 21-11 .. 12-6 ... 25 ... 6-7 .... 1 ..... 6-4

Kentucky DID win the head-to-head matchup in Lexington, but that didn’t help in comparing Vanderbilt to Arkansas, Auburn or Mississippi State.

The only other edge (however slight for UK is one Q4 loss versus two Q4 losses.

How in Hades can Kentucky be seeded higher than Texas A&M?
