Jesus. Take the time to read a bit. Most of us, minus Wickedson of course, are just in here talking about Missouri basketball & basketball in general. |

Missouri ranked No. 3 in the coaches poll, and actually got a first place vote.

We lost to OSU because L'Damien Nash caught fire; shit happens. But when OSU tried to run with us, we destroyed them in the next 2 games. When Texas did the same, it was no skin off our ass. The teams that want to try to score points with us are going to regret it unless all 4 of our shooters come out cold. And if all 4 shooters are cold, either Pressey makes some easy buckets for Ratliff, or we lose anyway. The raw matchups really aren't that tough, there are just some very good teams that are either premier for their slot (Marquette) or a little under-seeded due to some late struggles (Florida). Geography is the only thing that really pisses me off about this bracket; otherwise Mizzou can win it.

Florida is Missouri minus the great pick-and-roll game, unselfish sharing of the basketball, and highly efficient post.
I actually am not 100 percent sure UF gets past Virginia. I like Missouri's draw. Would rather have Michigan State in there than UNC, Kentucky or the Cuse (especially with their recent injury problems). I don't think Michigan St. survives to the Regional Final. If the Tigers can get by Marquette, I think they're playing a 12 or 13 seed to get to the Final Four (the 4 and 5 seeds in Missouri's bracket are the weakest, IMO). Marquette and Florida both try to play the same style as Missouri. They're just not as good at it as the Tigers are.

Agreed, other teams can't run with Mizzou.

Generally speaking, they flame out early. The muckers and maulers don't tend to do well in this tourney. It's only when those muckers happen to have a Kemba Walker or 2 that they win anything. The problem is that it only takes one loss. By and large, our style fits the tournament much better than the slopfests from the B1G and the East, but all it takes is one day with flat jumpers and a trigger-happy referee.

Virginia qualifies to a certain extent, I guess, but it still lost 7 games in a very mediocre ACC and I'm not positive the Cavs even make it past Florida.
