MU controls its own destiny right now. Every single conference game is realistically winnable.  So if MU can win 12 conference games it will have a guaranteed spot in the tournament. 11 probably in. 10 dicey.

With our non-conference (barring disaster tonight) we are a lock at 10-8. Probably in at 9-9. 8-10 out.

And that team had already sucked butts in the non con. Best win all year was either a neutral court win over 9-seeded George Washington or at NIT bound Georgetown. This team has already shown it can handle at least something.
