Y'all, I'm stunned. I'll reserve talking how bad the SEC is for later, but we finished tied for second in the conference. Just wow.
Now we go into the conference with an RPI of 70 and an SOS of 68. It isn't hard to fathom winning on Friday night, which will be our first game with the double bye. After that, we'll have Kentucky, LSU, or Alabama. If we have Kentucky and beat Kentucky?
It could get real. We'll be in the mid-50's RPI, with 20 wins. Would we get into the NCAAs? All of the predicted last four out are in the mid-50s with 18 wins right now. If our SOS improves to the mid-50s, with our last 10 being 8-2, we will be a compelling and sexy pick to steal and at-large bid.

As it is, we'll make the NIT. I don't see anyway we don't at this point. Which is stunning considering our early season losses.
Give Mark Fox credit. He should be in consideration for Coach of the Year in the SEC.
