Response from friend on NCAA selection committee...

"Be thankful. Just wait."

Not sure what that means but my guess is that the McNeal injury weighed very heavily on the committees' minds.  Sounds like he's done for the year but I don't know how they would have gotten confirmation of that from MU.  BTW... didn't we just beat one of their 3 seeds and St. Johns on the road without McNeal? 

Did he write anything else for you? If not, that's pretty douchebaggery to just say "be thankful". I mean it's not like he's the starting quarterback who decided to pop our cherry even though we're fat and ugly.

MU deserves to be in and doesn't need to be "thankful" about anything.

I really don't care about being an 8 seed...but when combined with the fact that they have to play in NC is a joke.

I'm wondering if the "just wait" comment had to do with the likes of syracuse not making it at all...

maybe Lawson, Wright and Hansborough all tested positive for steroids....    wishful thinking.
