2009 Results against NCAA teams

Written by: hilltopper91@gmail.com (Kevin Buckley (Hilltopper))

The "BracketProject" is a great website to see the summary of all the bracket prognosticators.

I was looking at it today, and thinking about who MU has played, their seed, and what our result with them was .. They currently have us as a #5 seed, but many of the bracketologists haven't updated their numbers since we lost to Syracuse.

The below seeds are just an average guess from all the brackets .. one can assume those seeds are correct, plus or minus a seed or two.

MU:

Lost to #1 UConn
Lost to #1 Pitt
Lost to #2 UL
Split with #3 Nova W/L  (Hopefully play them again Thursday)
Lost to #6 Syracuse
Lost to #9 Dayton
Lost to #8 Tenn.
Beat #7 WVU
Beat #8 Wisconsin

2009 Record vs. NCAA teams: 3-7

Sorry to further depress Warrior Nation.   Draw your own conclusions.

My immediate question is, who cares? What if anything does that tell us, that MU is not one of the top handful of teams in the country? Did anybody not know that? Aside from teams that will be seeded 1-4 or so, who has a record appreciably better than that?

You are correct, it would indeed be interesting to see that analysis on other teams. 

We played 10 NCAA tourney type games, and won 3 of them.   I find that relevant to where we will/should be seeded, and what our chances are once there.

Northern Iowa is in the dance now
