MIZZOU ST

joeball · 02-18-2006, 09:56 PM

Hey about those MISSOURI STATE Bears!!! The ESPN men's basketball front page has them as "Mizzou ST". Man, bet you mizzou fans hate to see that. Seriously, they have a very good team this year. It IS a shame that little mizzou won't play the BEARS unless they are forced too. Well while da Bears are cuttin some net in the Big Dance maybe, just maybe little mizzou can grope for an nit bid.
HA

ole mizzou had it coming, fighting the name change and doing everything it can to avoid playing little ole sw missouri state in the day!!!!!

No, not really.

Eh, I don't think Mizzou cares that much. They also would have been crazy not to fight that name change. Although, now I remember a lot of folks made a big deal at MU about not calling it Mizzou St. That was one of their big sticking points...

I thought they had worked that out with media outlets. Maybe not.

Facts? What kind of reeruned are you?

Missouri Valley
Team Conf. W-L Tot. W-L
Wichita St. 12-4 21-7
Northern Iowa 11-5 22-6
Creighton 11-5 18-7
Southern Ill. 11-5 18-9
Missouri St. 10-6 18-7
Bradley 9-7 16-9
Drake 5-11 12-16
Indiana St. 4-12 12-13
Illinois St. 4-12 9-16
Evansville 3-13 7-18

As of right now, UNI>SMS. That could change, but UNI has been a "lock" for the big tourney for a while. SMS has been on the "bubble," moving towards stronger consideration.

Wrong. Mike Alden (during the football season) said that the term Mizzou is copyrighted and they did not want to be associated with a I-AA football program.

Of course, they won't play the the I-A basketball program. Makes for good rivalry though, both sides can say the other one is scared of them.

Actually I'm waiting to see somebody in the Mo. Valley get shafted for a .500ish team from the Big 12 or Pac 10 for the tournament, which will be too bad. There are those top 4 teams that are legitimate tournament teams, Mo. State is on the bubble of breaking in there, Bradley really could be good enough to throw a wrench in the conference tourney and go deep, and even Indiana State down there has great wins over Indiana, Northern Iowa, and @ SIU, they're like 12-3 when their leading scorer has been healthy, they could be a dangerous lower seed.

Just for the record and for those who know nothing about College basketball, like this guy appearantly, let me give you a little analogy...

The Big12 is to Missouri Valley Conference as is the AFC West is to NFL Europe, catch my drift? Missouri St. does not have a good team in comparison to any team in the Big12, except probably Baylor. As much as I do not like MU bball or think they suck, I think they would beat up on SMS anyday of the week.

I don't agree with that. I don't think any Mo. Valley team would win the Big 12, but they'd be more than competitive.

More than who, Baylor??? Come on, no one really thinks Baylor's in the Big12 anyway, except for baseball. Maybe Southern Illinois and possibly Crieghton would be a bottom 3-4 team in the Big12 but thats about it.

If Creighton had Funk, Dotzlier-sp ect. ect. and not been hit hard by injuries all year they'd be running away with the Big 12 not to mention the Mo Valley.
