Q for Harper41

[BamaNavyCPO]

How many more games does Bama have to win to have the conference locked up and be the #1 seed in the SEC tourney?

Not Harper but it looks like Bama has a 2.5 game lead on TxA&M with 6 games left to play. Win the next 3 and it could be wrapped up if the Aggies drop one more.

Not Harper but it comes down to how well A&M continues playing. If they don't lose we'll have to win 5 more before our last game at A&M to lock up the title. Realistically they probably lose 1 or maybe 2 so that 5 games mark gets a little lower.

If they did win out including beating us then we can't lose any other games and not at least share the title but lose the 1 seed on head to head.

And us winning there isn't a sure thing. Oats has never beaten A&M and the kind of game they play for Buzz these days is kryptonite to what Oats likes to do. Their guards are tough and if they're making any outside shots at all they will be very hard to beat.

Buzz has had Oats’ number. That game in College Station may be our toughest one left, especially if they’re playing for a share of a title, if not an outright one

The magic number I believe is 5 right now with 6 games left. So any combination of 5 wins/ 5 losses by A&M will clinch it

Aggies get Arkansas, Tennessee and Bama at home.

Missouri, Miss St and Ole Miss on the road.

There are 2-3 losses for them coming up.

Thanks. That makes the games between the Vols and TAMU critical in order to gain the top spot. Both will be tough outs, and can only lose one.

We at UT and at Aggies. Man I hope we have it wrapped up before that last game.
