With 3 games left against #3 Florida, #1 Auburn and LSU...

I predict we win 1 of the next 2 and beat LSU in the last game going 2-3 to close out the season!

Let's go AGS!!

We have a 1/4, 1/3 and 2/3 chance to win our remaining games per the (poor) ESPN game predictor. That's gives us a crude version of expected value at 1.25 wins.

Let's say, for conversation sake, we give us the LSU game - the probability of stealing one of the first two games with those odds is… about 42%

Probability of winning the first game and losing the second: Probability of winning first game (1/4) multiplied by the probability of losing the second game (2/3) = (1/4) * (2/3) = 2/12.

Probability of losing the first game and winning the second: Probability of losing the first game (3/4) multiplied by the probability of winning the second game (1/3) = (3/4) * (1/3) = 3/12.

Combined probability of winning one game out of two:
Add the probabilities from both scenarios: (2/12) + (3/12) = 5/12

1/4 x 1/3 x 2/3 =0.0556 or 5.56% to win all 3

When exactly does the "finish" start? Hopefully it didn't start a few games ago!

If we win 2 of 3 I think a 3 seed is locked up.

The problem is that there are no really reliable predictive statistics for basketball. Having one lottery player and one other draftable player (preferably first round) is indicative of the typical NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Champion, but some teams coach up less talented players and make them a unit that wins over more talented teams.

Or, as Han Solo has said every time I watch The Empire Strikes back, "Never tell me the odds." This team might win all three. But creating a probabilistic model of the outcome is not likely to create the circumstances by which they do win all three. But we ALWAYS have a chance. And in this case in spite of the three losses in a row it is not vanishingly small.

1-4/0-5.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

I like these odds and feel like this is the likely outcome.

I think we beat Auburn. Yeah on paper it makes no sense, but I think they find a way. But I can easily see them losing at LSU after that.

I might want to walk this back based off what I'm seeing from Auburn right now. Today they look like nobody could beat them.

We will not win another game. 0-6 to finish season. Will lose first game in sec tournament and first game in ncaa tournament. We have no offense period and buzz is out of his league

Good chance to beat LSU, but the folks saying we will pull out a win against AU are straight up living in fantasyland.

It was obvious to anyone looking that we are only good at one thing and we are really good at it - rebounding. We literally bulled over the teams in the lower half of the conference and won games on second/third chance tries. We're at/near the bottom of the league in ft%, 3pt%, fg%. That seems an impossible hole to climb out of.

The upper half of the league could somewhat negate our rebounding edge and that puts us in a bind from the jump.

I'm skeptical that there will be some magical shift that will allow us to go on run in MM.


Off topic, with the majority of the team being seniors, what does next year look like roster-wise?

Yet we will lose all 3
