Title: Bracketology: MU drops to a 4 seed
Post by: drewm88 on February 16, 2009, 12:23:07 PM
Friday we were a 3 seed. Our S-curve rank according to Lunardi was 12 on Friday, 15 today. The three teams that passed us on the S-curve over the weekend were Missouri, Kansas, and Xavier.

Missouri- Beat Nebraska
Xavier- Beat Fordham
Kansas- Beat Kansas State

Can somebody pleas explain to me how beating Nebraska or Fordham justifies jumping us?

Were we a #4 when we make the final 4 in 2003 or a #3?


I am thinking we were a #3 based on our Sweet 16 game against Pitt(#2), but I could be wrong.

Correct, we were a 3 seed in 2003.

Has Kansas beat a ranked team yet this year?

Nope, 0-3 against them per the 'mu is 5th most likely to make a run' thread.

If we're a 4 now we could well be middle tier seed even if we go .500 to close out the season, which would be an accomplishment.

Exactly. I think our seed will definitely be determined by how we handle the long-awaited final 5 games.
