I don't think he expects Missouri to be locked in across the board (afterall, I'm not sure it's happened yet this year - though it sure looked like it might for about 25 minutes against KU in Lawrence). He's just saying they're capable of it.
This makes sense...

If they play that game, they'll simply knock Mizzou right out of their game and Mizzou will end up giving you a 58 point effort on 40% shooting. In other words, Wright's suggestion of both teams playing their 'best' game is an impossibility for an MU - UK matchup.
...if "Missouri's slightly below average game" means a lack of focus, a bad shooting night, etc; or a situation like that where they're forced into playing another team's game, then I think it's pretty accurate. Obviously, they haven't run into the latter (well, or former) very often this year.

I don't really see how that's a stretch.

Saul saying that it the 2008 Champ game not being in the top 25 is what me lol.
It wasn't a top 5 matchup that decade. No way was it a top 25 matchup all time. It was an incredible GAME. It was not that compelling of a matchup. They have no history against each other. There was no "larger than life" player (ie Patrick Ewing, Tyler Hansbrough).

The buildup to that game was just like any other game.

Larger TVs in the homes of those watching.

Good point. I went from a 50" to a 55" HDTV in 2010.

Population growth?

It was an unseasonably cold Spring in 2008 and a large percentage of the country had to burn their TVs to stay warm.

Great NC matchups off the top of my head:

MSU - Indiana State (duh)
UNC - Georgetown
UNLV - Duke
UNC - Michigan

A defensive team's upside is lower than a 3-point shooting team's upside. Defensive teams are more likely to play at or near their ceilings, though.
Kentucky isn't just a fantastic defensive team. They have the 2nd best offensive efficiency in the NCAA behind Missouri. Their overall ceiling is above anybody.

It's a wickedson world and we're just living in it.

The build up of that Final Four was huge. The teams might not have had much history together but contained one team with a good history of accomplishment, a larger than life coach, and a superstar player that is currently destroying the NBA.

The other team was a blue blood of college basketball that had just come off winning one of the biggest games in their history which included another "larger than life" player in Tyler Hansbrough.

Oh, and the other team involved in the whole deal is just another blue-blooded UCLA program which included NBA ALL Stars Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, and Darren Collison.

There's a reason why more people bought tickets to this tournament than any other ever played.

But yeah, it doesn't make the top 25. LMAO

Hey, anytime the finals manage to be the 7th highest rated finals in the decade, its clearly destined for historic significance

So were they shoving about 1.2 million people into Memorial Stadium every Saturday? Afterall, I'm told that lousy television ratings are actually a sign of intense fan interest, so they must've been shoving all those Beaker-hungry football fans somewhere...

This is a reach even by wickedson standards. Its like wickedson is wickedsoning himself.

Ultra Peanut 03-12-2012 02:22 PM
So how would you guys rank the historic significance of Mizzou's final four appearances?

Captain Obvious 03-12-2012 02:26 PM
That's quite the moving target.
