A no brainer, 6th place; that way SC would play 3 games, instead of 4, to win the Tournament, which they will have to do to be NCAA eligible. But even for an eternal SC optimist that is not going to happen.
There is no way they could pull off 4 games, as it is first five play to many min. even in last game 45min. Hack,Taj,and Dero. Tim is a good coach but he is running his team into the ground, I feel they will never do any better than 2 yrs ago. Maybe hire Reggie Theus or Kurt Rambis even Kareem would be better. Bring back Rav also!
No Pac-10 team with a 10-8 conference record and at least 20 wins has ever missed the NCAA tourney. If we win our last 2 and win a game in the tourney, then we will meet this criteria. However, I think we would just become the first Pac-10 to not get an invite. I do think if we win the last 3 and make the Pac-10 tourney final, we will get in. That would be 10-8 and 21-12 or 22-12, I think. But, it's still highly unlikely. We simply lack the bench and scorers this season.
