Also, if Arkansas comes calling...I think MA leaves. If he does, who would some of you want or think would replace him?

No. Missouri is in.
The bubble is extremely soft this season. Missouri is a lock, even with a loss to Tech in the Big 12 tournament. Look at some of the teams that are being talked about on the bubble. Missouri's resume is much better than any of them, even with a loss to Texas Tech. They would likely drop to a 10 line with the loss, though...
As for Arkie/Anderson. I don't think he'll go (too much bad blood from the Nolan fallout, he'd have to leave his best friend's two kids behind, Missouri is working on an extension for him, his wife doesn't want to return to the SEC, and he doesn't like the conference's traditionally dirty laundry).
But if he did... one of my top targets would be Greg Marshall at WSU. He runs a motion offense and plays a lot of full court, trapping defense. He's also built winners wherever he's coached.
