MUScoop

Much talk about MU's efficient offense making it an interesting team to play in the NCAA tourney (yes, I admit to a bit of hubris in posting this poll 24 hours early).  Which cliche best describes MU in this year's tourney? 

Note that options like "one and done" and "just lucky to be here" are not available (even in the "other" category").   

As an opposin' coach, drawin' MU wouldn't bug me. Pretty easy ta defend if ya got team quickness and can beat the 3 pt. shoota ta his spot. Utter den da 3pt. shot potential, nothin' else is no matta, hey?

If offensive is clicking they will be a tough out the first weekend. If the shots are not falling they will be out quickly. That said, doubt many teams will be shaking in their boots worrying about playing the boys.

You need to fix this poll so that you can vote for more than 1 option.

Sorry, Chick.  One cliche per person limit.

I think we are the type of team that no one wants to face . If our 3 point crew are stroking it we can beat off any opponent.

Let's make some NOISE!

(Don''t telll anyone, but I guess you could use "other" and choose more than one). Shhh.

For damn near a decade, I've advocated for the 11 seed as the easiest non-protected path to the FF, so that's what I'm hoping for, but I've got this strange feeling about an 8.

I really would like to be matched up with michigan again

My alma mater. Nuff said.

Too late for that, but otherwise, I would vote for Other as "On any given day, MU can beat the best teams in the country".

"Difficult Matchup."  When we have Howard, Rowsey, Hauser/Reinhardt, JJ, Luke on the floor what do you do as the other coach?  Three pointer instills fear in the opposition and is demoralizing.

All this said, we could also be a "one and done/nonfactor" in the tournament.  My gut says we win Round 1, maybe even Round 2.

Tower, you clearly are not a rule follower.

That is just desperation to be on Scoop Takes.

Live by 3, die by 3.  If we lose, probably lose by a lot.  Many teams will not want to play us, but there are a few salivating to get this squad.  The beauty of the tournament, matchups.

Didn't you say that'd be a tough matchup like a few minutes ago in another thread?

Seriously, are you MUFNY's son?

Hubris.
