I am not advocating Mizzou being a much higher seed, maybe a 6th. What I find hard to swallow is any explanation that TN should be a 4 seed after losing 5 of their last 8 games, and then losing to MU again in the SEC tournament. And I also don't buy that thecommittee doesn't pay attention to the league tourneys regardless if what they say. How else would you explain Michigan State making the NCAA tournament with an 18-12 record?

The committee head went on TV and excused Houston’s performance to Memphis today because one of their players was hurt.
And regarding Michigan St: because they don’t have any terrible losses and a bunch of average to above average wins as well as 2 losses to Gonzaga and Alabama in non-conference play.
