NEW ORLEANS -- Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi State and Mississippi are in stages of uncertainty as the SEC hopes to place six teams in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2008.


The Crimson Tide appear to have the best current case of the bubble teams, with a 20-10 record, 9-7 SEC mark and the nation’s No. 32 RPI, according to the NCAA’s latest report on Monday.


The fifth-seeded Tide open with No. 12 seed South Carolina today. The Gamecocks won the only meeting between the two teams -- 56-54 in Columbia, S.C., on Jan. 25.

OM would have to win the tournament to go. MSU and UT would at least need to make the finals. We are in even if we lose today. What a crock. Does he get paid to write that crap?

He must get paid for it! Who in their right minds would think BAMA was in trouble of NOT making the tourney this year with an RPI of 32? Those teams with identical records with RPi's in the high 60s and low 70s need to be concerned and need deep runs in their tourneys to make it. NOT a 32 RPI!!
