Of course it is. I was jealous of Nebraska. We kind of dumb lucked our way into an even better situation. Some people just like to pretend that Mizzou owes something to the conference.

I thought it was shitty of MU to leave, for my own selfish purposes, but from a business perspective, **** yeah they made the right decision.
I don't want to see this rivalry die. I'd love them to keep playing but even then it wouldn't be the same. Although if every year were like this year, I don't think I could handle it. lol. |

This is the MU thread. I don't wanna come in here and start cracking skulls. Don't get me wrong, as a KU fan, it's tough for me. But I'm not gonna put on the Jayhawk glasses and go all true fan. |

Missouri would destroy Murray St. I think Murray St. is going out in round 1, though.

MU is rolling to the Final Four. I don't see any team that will give them a real hang-up before then. |

Final 4 advancement odds, East: Ohio St. 41%, Syracuse 28%, Wisconsin 10%, Vanderbilt 7%, Florida St. 5% Final 4 advancement odds, West: Missouri 26%, Mich. St. 20%, New Mexico 11%, Marquette 11%, Memphis 10%, Louisville 8% Final 4 advancement odds, South region: Kentucky 57%, Duke 17%, Baylor 9%, Indiana 5%, Wichita St. 5% He has Missouri as the favorite in the West.

Talk shit. That's part of what makes sports/rivalries enjoyable. Sitting on the fence isn't fun. Nothing wrong with being respectful, but sometimes you have to get your venom on.

I guess. Seems to me that Mizzou is the bottom 2 seed only based on where the games are being played. They have the worst of the #1 seeds, they got the weakest #15, and the teams in the bottom half of their bracket do not seem as good. Duke seems more like the bottom #2 seed...the only edge Duke gets is playing in Atlanta. They get the best #1 seed in Kentucky, the best #3 in Baylor, and, according to you..the best #15 seed in years.
Location wise...Mizzou is the bottom #2. Opponent wise, I think the Tigers got a favorable draw, and hope they play their best ball of the year to take advantage of it.

So if Mizzou had lost to Baylor, you would have put them at a #3? That seems a bit ridiculous, given their top five ranking and all.
