Mizzou was the last 2 and we were only a couple spots away from them on the s curve. Before the tournament proper began, would you have rather had Norfolk state again and florida? or a play in wiinning BYU and Murray state? Its a toss up to me, but i thought it was interesting and i'd like to hear from the community before the definitive result on saturday afternoon.
No, though not because of the upset. I don't think NSU would have beaten us, as I think Buzz would have been better prepared for a team we've seen a couple times already. But I definitely would rather have a week to prepare for Florida. I think the Gators are a very dangerous team and I liked them to make the S16 regardless of whether they faced Mizzou or NSU. They're the type of team that can give us fits, and I'd rather Buzz have a week to prepare for them.
I still look at Murray State with skepticism. I know they're good, I know they have legitimate D1 talent throughout the roster, but when's the last time they saw a team with our kind of athleticism? Memphis at the end of last year? They'll be a challenge, and we need our defense to be on, but I don't think they'll force us out of what we want to do.
