If anyone needs to be any more convinced about wearing Gold and bringing an extraordinary amount of enthusiasm to Thursday's game verus Pitt, I suggest reading this article from Andy Katz. It discusses how tourney committee members all have their own subjective opinions about placing bubble teams in the tournament, and that nobody should feel safe regardless of their conference record. Katz uses this to discuss what is likely to be a huge Big East quandry come March, and how a few years ago Syracuse was left out in spite of a 10-6 Big East record and 22-10 overall. Like I said, read the article, and be sure to bring it on Thursday night! MU needs this game!
