POLL POLL - MU in BET + DANCE?

[The Equalizer]

See no way that Washington should be ahead of us...their resume is awful.  Alabama, also, seems to be overvalued.

Not sure what makes it awful. Wins over Kansas and Arizona are more impressive than anything on our resume.

Their overall SOS is 78th.  Ours is 15th.  Arizona is a nice name, but in reality, they are the equivalent of Creighton per Pomeroy.  Washington didn't have to play AZ on the road either.  Pac 12 as a league is rated 6th toughest...with big fall off in difficulty between 5th and 6th rated conferences.  Big East is 3rd.  There is not one Pac 12 team in the Top 25 of Pomeroy.

Yep. And they will almost assuredly be out after getting run out of the gym at home against Oregon last night. They are 97th in Pomeroy's rankings. I'd assume that would be by far the lowest Kenpom ranking to receive an at large.

I think a good deep run or even winning the NIT would be better than going 1 and done or even 1-1 in the NCAA for THIS YEARS team.

I think it might be better for the development of next year's team, but I'll take that NCAA berth over the NIT bid without question.

MU only has a "shot" at making the NCAA tournament if we win the BE tournament according to this awful OnMilwaukee article:

It is truly embarrassing how many people get paid to write about college basketball (or any sport really) that have no idea what they're talking about.

I think, given discussions on the bubble thread, that beating Depaul gets us into a play-in game. Then we can pull a VCU...at least, that's the dream.

85-85. This one's headed to OT.  We need an NIT poll.
