Have a bad feeling this thread is about the 8:30 Eastern Time show on ESPNU  not CBS at 6:00.

Let's hope I am wrong.

FYI it's on TBS this year. You'll be watching 60 minutes if you go to CBS.

With Butler as a last 4 in, I get pretty worried about MU's chances. All the teams listed in Palm's last 4 have RPI's in the 40's. Not promising.

Well, I am looking forward to "next year" team. Sounds like we won't have to sweat our selection day, just seed and region. My only concern, most of the "next year" gang thought we were getting a bid today.

Please point those people out. Most of us said we are likely not in but hoping we would be.

I do not believe this is an accurate statement.  Most people believed this was a NIT team. We were picked 7th, finished 7th.  Won some good games, lost some bad ones.  The epitome of a young team.

Why would I think that? By then those players were going to be seniors and be better. Not better to the level that would get us a high seed but graduating a bunch of starters usually leads to a step back.

Haanif leaving was addition by subtraction.  He did nothing better than Anim, and only would have blocked growth of Cain and Elliott.  Haanif never performed well against high major competition.  It is a convenient excuse to use, to help justify our continued mediocrity, but, it is just that - an excuse.

That is the problem of having 2 really strong teams.  They dominate.  If Oklahoma had stayed as good as they were in the beginning of the year, and finished 15-3 in the B12.  The B12 wouldn't have gotten as many teams in, nor would their other teams be as highly rated.

Same for the SEC if Kentucky/Florida were able to put up a 15-3 type year.

Disagree and agree. Compare us to the Big 10. Four teams in and all were 5-seeds or better because they beat the crap out of a weak league.

The entire league was good and the bottom teams improved, so there were losses to be had. That prevented teams like Hall, Butler, and Creighton from separating themselves. Swap any top-7 Big East team into the Big 10 and they are a 6-seed at worst.
