How is Tennessee 3 spots ahead of Missouri? Missouri should have been a 6 at bare minimum, but a 5 is what they should have been.
I do think Mizzou can actually do some damage and they can definitely beat Alabama if we made it to that point.
If we can just hit 40% from 3, then we have a chance to beat pretty much anyone. Just can't go 5-25 from 3.

The Committee always talks about "its how a team finished the season" when they talk about seeding along with records".
Tennessee lost 5 of their last 8 with 3 of those to Vanderbilt, Mizzou and Auburn. Then lost to Mizzou in the SEC tourney.

Tennessee should be closer to a 5 or 6 seed based on how they've played the last month but you can't just ignore beating Kansas and Alabama. They also beat Maryland.
For reference, Mizzou's best non-conference win is Illinois (and a 16 seed SEMO that won it's conference tournament).
Additionally, Tennessee's PG tore his ACL less than 2 weeks ago AND the committee basically reiterated that the conference tournament does not mean shit. I don't see how you can advocate for Mizzou to have a higher seed when A&M got ****ed way worse based on conference play and going further in the conference tournament.
Mizzou should have MAYBE been a 6 seed over Iowa St, but that's about it.
