Ya I'm happy to win but our perimeter defense was a joke once again.

The three point line is the great equalizer in CBB, and it allows far inferior teams to compete and win. It's how we lost last year, and if we continue to play the defense on the perimeter we have, it's how we'll lose this year.

And if a team is kicking your ass in the paint they are going to have the kickout for the 3 pt shot anyway. Last year was a ****ing fluke in the NCAA. That team never shot that well and never did again. Just unlucky odds for us. |

Look at it on a per-possession basis:
12-30 from 3 18-30 from 2 Team A shoots 40% and scores the same number of points as team B who shoots 60%. Team A also has 18 chances for a rebound, whereas Team B only has 12.

What is MU's projected seed right now in the tourney? It would be interesting to have KU and MU meet up in the tourney. I think the powers that be will try to set that up frequently.
Good luck to you guys the rest of the way. |

The selection committee almost always underseeds Missouri. We deserved to get bounced last year, but their resume was better than #8 overall. They deserved a 2 seed in 2009 and played like it as well.
Whatever Lunardi or the Bracketology guys say, I'd usually downgrade it by one to factor in the selection committee.

We can't have matadors out on the 3 point line. It's one of the reasons we're so bad on the road as teams almost always shoot better at home and if shooting uncontested at home it's fish in a barrel. It'll be our undoing in the tourney as we will run into someone that can make shots. In an 8/9 scenario that could very well be round 1. To your point I agree w/ you as far as preference for a weakness but this isn't a weakness for us it's a liability.

Phil and Jabari Brown are especially lackadaisical at times when fighting through screens on the wing. Both go UNDER far too often. When they go OVER screens and actually try, other teams don't make crazy amounts of shots. It's comical, at times, watching Pressey just give up on fighting through a screen.
