I mean, you can put a little stock in it since it's updated through last night. But yes there will obviously be much more movement after the weekend.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Marquette stayed a 3 seed on bracketmatrix but dropped from 10 to 12 overall.

Seems about right.  After the top 7, I think there's a tier from 8-15, then another tier of 16-25.

I agree. It certainly helps that we have wins against 3 of those teams in those tiers. And we'll have 4 in about 55 hours.

Dave has been historically one of the most accurate guys out there so this is good to see.

Those wins over UW, Kansas State and Louisville have aged very well for MU.

True. And what's kind of funny is that about 5-6 weeks ago, many were lamenting about how poorly those wins had aged. It's a season, a grind. Things are gonna play out the way they play out.

[MuMark]

Another thing to watch going forward.......the Win at Georgetown is now a quad 1....at last for the time being......they are up to 73 in the NET....top 75 road wins are quad 1.


MU now is 7-3 in Quad 1 games.....with another big one coming up on Saturday.

Yeah. I would have linked from his page at Yahoo or NBC to give more credibility in case people didn't know which he was, but I didn't see it updated there.

About right, I've always thought this was a 4/5 seed team.

Agreed. Going into season my Hope was a 6 seed. I will GLADLY take a 3-5 seed. A 2 would be amazing. But everyone freaking out cause we might not get a 2 seed (albeit very few people freaking out) need to remember that expectations for this year weren't that high.

I love exceeding expectations but a 3-5 seed is still fan-freaking-tastic.

Having said that. Let's get a 3 or 4 please.

Palm dropped us to a 3.

Dave Ommen still has us as a 3.

https://theathletic.com/806716/2019/02/08/bracket-watch-is-it-kentucky-or-gonzaga-for-final-no-1-seed/

Brian Bennett from the Athletic has us as a 3.

3-4 line sounds about right to me at this stage. We'll see what the committee says tomorrow but I don't think our loss to SJU hurt all that much, especially if we bounce back with a win tomorrow.

Who's expectations weren't?? I thought all along this was a talented enough team to contend(realistically win) for the BE title and be a top 4-5 seed in the NCAA's. The eyes...even at my age, never fail me. So much talent on this team.

FJM said people didn't expect this team to be a 2 seed preseason, so 3-5 seed would be great.

You are arguing just to argue here, guru. Or you simply didn't read fjm's post right.

Ya. Thanks TAMU & 82

Guru. What I said was people didn't expect a 2 seed. Most expected higher (like you said 4-5). Therefore a 3-5 seed would be great.

A 3 seed would even exceed your lofty expectations. So we agree. I think you may have misread what I said.

I did...my bad...I thought you meant that even a 3-5 seed was exceeding expectations for this team.

No worries home slice!

Go MU today! Glad we can see eye to eye for atleast today until 1:30pm

Last 3 seed on the bracket show

[MUBigDance]

Big game today for both teams given the bracket show.

[NickelDimer]

Much bigger for MU considering we're at home.

[BM1090]

Much bigger for MU considering we're at home.

I'd argue the opposite is true. Much more room for Nova to move up with a win

[wadesworld]

Biggest game of the year.

Nova can also afford a loss today and win the conference. This feels like a bigger game for MU. We lose today and we likely get swept by Nova
