Do we still have a chance -- NCAA Tourney?

22 of 33 D1 conferences do not have a single ranked team. All get automatic bids, no? The top 25 is a lock. So right now 47 seven schools are a lock to get in (conference winners plus top 25). Everyone else is competing for 19 remaining at large bids (including play in game). That's what makes it so tough to earn an at large if you are on the bubble.

Most of the conference winners will be part of that top 25. There are likely over 30 at large bids barring major conference upsets.

Ummm, no. Here is a list of the conferences.

Most won't have teams in the top 25. You are right that there are 33 at large bids (and 33 conference or conference tourney champs with automatic bids) but around 15 of them will go to top 25 teams who are behind other teams in their conference. That's Beast's point.
 
It's obviously not looking probable, but last time I checked the BET winner gets an automatic bid. So season is not over in my mind until March.

Not as rousing as Bluto's was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor speach
 
Get your dancing shoes out.
If you don't own a pair, may I suggest:

Are you hoping, and trying to stay positive?
Or do you actually think this team is going to make the tournament?

I'm saying we are going to be doing so much dancing in March, you are going to change your name to Disco80.

If we dance, I'll buy those Dorothy shoes and take pictures in them.
If we dont, then you owe me beers after they announce the new coach's hire and the end of the Lavin-era.

What do you say? Let's make it interesting

I'm in the same boat. I'm realistic about our chances, but I will never give up hope until it's officially over.

I appreciate your ability to hang strong with your team. I just can't imagine what gives you hope that this thin roster can win three or four BE games in a row (on consecutive days).

Let's just go with Amar, Joey, myles Stewart, Lipscomb, jones, Henderson, And Balamou for the rest of the season and then win the BET as the 10 seed with our guys as fresh as daisies

Marillac,

Gotta give you credit. You are backing up your talk. What makes you so optimistic that this team with several limitations can overcome a lack of discipline and a banged up Harrison to basically run the table of remaining winnable games?

I guess I should have went with my college mantra that it's not over until the last fat chick leaves the party.

You clearly missed the part where I said "It's obviously not looking probable."

The question was "Do we still have a chance?" and in the era of the automatic bid, the only ones who are truly 100 percent screwed before March are Ivy teams and independents.
