Pressey's play will indeed be the key, though. I think Missouri could end up being a lot like Florida a season ago... the 7 seed that No. 2 wants to see in its bracket.

The two things that travel best in college hoops are defense and an ability to score inside/at the FT stripe (the two are one). Missouri has the latter. They have flashed the former (like we saw during the key run that blew this game out).

I do like that this team is less dependent on 3-point shooting
Soem of those losses came when we had significant players benched with injuries as well.
