Bleeding Razorback Red Since Birth!!!

SEC Network ran a segment last night predicting the NCAA tournament chances of each SEC team. BPI gave Arkansas an 89% chance of making the tournament, and Lunardi has us pegged as a 9 seed. Florida had a 56% chance, and was pegged as a 6 seed.
Go Hogs, Beat Refs!

Florida's upcoming schedule is not easy.  They play @Tennessee, @Alabama, Auburn, and Kentucky.  Maybe they'll come out of that 2-2?

Without seeing all the analysis, I figure they are saying IF Fla goes 3-1 or 4-0 then they'd be in 6 seed range, but there is a chance they go 0-4 and miss the ncaat entirely?

Might be right.  Since they have a daunting schedule coming up, if they make the tournament at all, it will mean they beat some very good teams over the next two weeks, which could earn them a 6 seed.  I agree they could come out of this 0-4 and maybe miss the tournament.

I would say the same thing about us.

Not sure the Hogs can get to a 6, but anywhere 7-11 is still possible.

It's a long shot, but I absolutely believe that if we win out, plus make some noise in the SEC Tournament, we can get to a 6 seed or possibly even higher. Winning out would entail 4 more Q1 wins and guarantee us at least a 3rd place finish in the SEC standings, and depending on if Tennessee loses again, possibly a 2nd place finish. Add a couple SEC Tournament wins and you're looking at a helluva resume.

Again, I don't think we'll actually win out. I think we'll drop one of the road games at either Bama or Mizzou. But if we do win out, it would be a travesty if we're not at least a 6. It would also really help if Oklahoma would snap out of its funk; that neutral court win has been losing a lot of its luster over the past month.

All I want is to do whatever it takes, win or lose, to not be an 8-9 seed.  That will just, at best, perpetuate our one win NCAA.  Yes, I understand a 7 seed meets a 2 seed but that's still better than one of the top four teams.  I'd rather be a 10 or 11 seed rather than an 8 or 9.  We can easily take down a 6 or 7 seed and handle a 2 or 3 after that better than a 1.

Our RPI is around 25 now.  If we go 4-0 it would be top 20 easily with several quadrant 1 wins. That's at least a 6 seed and probably higher.  Now, we're not going to win out but our seeding would skyrocket if we did.

Several quadrant 1 wins? How many do we have now? TN is the only 1 from the list I saw over the weekend. KY will not end up being one of those, neither will Bama or likely not Mizzu, so that leaves Aub.

Right now, we have five RPI Q1 wins - 32 Oklahoma (N), 21 A&M, 15 Tennessee, 23 Mizzou, and @ 64 Georgia (top 75 road win). Finishing out the season 4-0 would give us 9 Q1 wins.

Remember the criteria for Q1: Home vs. top 35, Neutral vs. top 50, Road vs. top 75. Our remaining games are 18 Kentucky, @ 33 Bama, 8 Auburn, and @ 23 Mizzou. We could lose a Q1 win if Georgia falls out of the top 75.

The way they are playing OU could drop out.

As I said the list I saw only listed TN. Went back and re read it and it was only listing home q1 wins. Sorry.

OU won't fall out. They have good wins, and they won't be penalized too much for losing to Kansas.

OU would have to completely fall out of the RPI top 50 for it to no longer count as Q1 for us. They have games remaining vs. K-State, @ Baylor, and vs. Iowa State. Losing to KU only dropped them from 32 to 34. They're not going to drop out of the top 50.

What list did you see? Even if it was only home Q1 wins, we have home Q1 wins over TAMU, Tennessee, and Mizzou.

I am always ready for Hog Ball!

The football season has no bearing on my excitement for basketball season to begin. 

I know I'm in the minority, but I rank Hog basketball above Hog football every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Has a lot to do with the era in which I grew up, but for me personally there is just nothing better than watching the Hogs run up and down the court!
Woo Pig Sooiee!  Can't wait for the season to tip off.  I'm hoping for a much more competitive team this season.

Does College basketball owes it to clean programs to penalize bad behavior before NCAA Tournament?


Quote"Congratulations to the 2018 NCAA Tournament champions, the (team redacted)." – Jim Nantz, April 2, 2018

That is the situation we are currently facing after the latest news regarding the FBI's investigation into college basketball broke on Friday morning. Major powerhouse programs — including blue bloods such as Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina —

The proverbial ball is now in NCAA president Mark Emmert's court, and the next steps he takes, which will be watched through a highly magnified set of glass, are of highest importance.

"Simply put, people who engage in this kind of behavior have no place in college sports," Emmert said in a statement on Friday. "They are an affront to all those who play by the rules."

Actions are louder, and a lot harder to execute, than words, and with a number of teams involved in the allegations having a decent-to-great chance at winning it all during college basketball's prime event — the NCAA Tournament —


My response, and what I think the NCAA's response should be, is this: What about the other teams that aren't named? Should Purdue see itself defeated by a Collin Sexton-led Alabama team, only to see that player's eligibility come up again and again throughout a drawn-out process? Should we see teams be left out and relegated to the NIT while Kentucky and Auburn make their way in?

Should we not reward those who play by the rules instead of casting doubt on who will be recognized as tournament participants, Final Four achievers and the champion for months and years to come?

Frankly, I don't want to see another banner be taken down due to inactivity by the NCAA.

Of course, we would be naive to actually believe the NCAA would go to these lengths. The annual tournament, after all, means major money, and a lot of these teams named in the probe are the cash cows. Duke and North Carolina...
