Alright for a win in Morgantown! So what will we be ranked Monday?

[Chicos' Buzz Scandal Countdown]

We'll at least jump OSU & GT.... 7? Higher?

[brewcity77]

GT yes, will only pass tOSU if they lose v UW tomorrow, or could pass UNC if they lose at UVa.

[MUFC9295]

Not a lot of movement up top... when you get closer to the top.  Any higher than we are now is for posterity.  It doesn't offer much more marginal benefit.

[ecompt]

8 or 9, and our chances for at least a 3 seed in The Dance improve every day.

[SoCalEagle]

3 seed would match our 2003 position.  And that turned out pretty good.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I'll go with 9, but a OSU or UNC loss this weekend could move us up a spot.

[dgies9156]

WE'RE NUMBER 1!!!

The rest of the world just doesn't know it yet!

[chapman]

Going to say 8.  Georgetown is a given.  Then I think the Mizzou and Kansas loser.  Mizzou would lose two games in a week, including a 10 point home loss.  Kansas would lose a home game to Mizzou and have a worse record than MU.  If they keep the Mizzou/KU loser ahead of us I'll use the potential of UVA beating UNC or UW pulling the upset on OSU as insurance to get us to 8.

Don't care. Lets see where we end up in April

Coooooool story bro!!!! Try not reading the thread if you don't care.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

I thought we were a 4 seed?

no.

[MURFC]

no.

Yep, I was off base

[martyconlonontherun]

Win out the regular season and don't screw up in the tourney and you got to be thinking we would be a 2-seed.

[RawdogDX]

Ohio st could lose to UW.
NC could lose @UVA.
If Kansas loses i don't think we jump them but we have a shot to move past Mizz.

So we have a real shot at 8th.

I like your thought process

[Buzz Williams' Spillproof Chiclets Cup]

Winning in Morgantown, where we've never won before, with a desperate WVU team, and 60% of the starters on the bench for the entire first half. I'd say that qualifies. Continued from... http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=29564.0

Season checklist
(x) Non-conference near-miss against inferior opponent (sky falls on Scoop)
(x) Non-conference stinker to inferior opponent (more sky-falling)
(x) Non-conference loss on big stage convinces board MU not ready for Big East
(x) Unmentionable conference loss
(x) Road Game we weren't supposed to win
( ) Late surge
(x) Top-half Big East Finish


For those new to this, I put this list together after MU narrowly escaped defeat to Norfolk State in the Paradise Jam Final, as that game seemed to  parallel other early-season near-misses (Valpo in 2006, Bucknell, UWM last year come to mind). The other points in the season that have already hit on this checklist were LSU, Vanderbilt, and Georgetown.

Man, imagine what a late surge can do for a team already in the top 10!  Good thing that box isn't checked yet!  Does this mean I can buy my flight to New Orleans yet?

After dropping 4/6 to go to 12-4 (1-2), doesn't winning 12/13 (and counting) to go to 24-5 (13-3) moving into the first week of March count as a late surge?

Georgetown is the unmentionable conference loss?  Why, because of the meltdown?  I'd rather not mention the loss to the prick$ in ND. 

[RawdogDX]

A lot of near upsets but close calls won't be dropping anyone.  We'll be stuck at 9.

KU and Mizzou just swap places. Mizzou shouldn't be penalized for losing by one in OT to Kansas in Lawrence.

[PGsHeroes32]

KU and Mizzou just swap places. Mizzou shouldn't be penalized for losing by one in OT to Kansas in Lawrence.

They lost at home vs Kstate as well this week.

[MU82]

8 if voters punish Mizzou severely for 2 losses in a week (which many will).

9 if voters punish Mizzou but not quite so severely.

Either is nice. Meaningless in the grand scheme, but nice.

[jsglow]

I still think it's #9, right behind Mizzou.  #8 if Bucky can shock tOSU.
