Kind of a weird injury for CG.  No good camera angles, looked like there was contact and he had pain, which are things you "normally" don't see with ACLs.  Hoping for the best and it's just a bad bone bruise and he's back for the NCAAT.

Sad for Nova although they may be better with Moore. I am more worried about UCONN. That's a dead-ender bracket.

No chance are they better with Moore leading the show and no CG.

If you're afraid of UCONN why do you want to lose to X to get onto their side?

When I tore my ACL, it hurt like an MFer, it was nothing like the temporary "burn" sensation I understand is typical.

Yeah ACL's overall vary big time.

The only thing that is consistent is you can usually tell right when you see the replay.

That didn't look good for Gillespie..  Do we now want the 8 or 9 seed?  Who has the tiebreaker between us and the Dence?

It doesn’t really matter because the 8 and 9 play each other.

I’m not going to go through all 32 possible scenarios, but the most likely outcomes are MU with the 10 seed if they lose to Xavier and the 9 if they win.

Unexpected results like Butler winning at Creighton or Georgetown winning at UConn might shake things up a little, but MU’s most likely first round opponent would be Providence or Georgetown.

Ty.  Chances we run the table Blue?  I wouldn't expect Gillespie back.

We all remember how it sucked when we lost Dom.

Not really.

I mean it wouldnt of been a cinderella shocker. But even with CG, Nova was very, very unlikely to make the FF

Guessing he was talking about the Dominic James team  ;)  Still debatable F4, but understand the sentiment.

Oh jeez yeah I read right over that haha. Think I've tried to block the Dom injury from memory at this point.

That was a stacked year, but we def had a shot  :'(

We did lose to USF (with DJ), but also beat The Legend (without DJ)

Correct.  I feel strongly that MU team would have made a deep run

MU running the table? Next to no chance.

If they lose to Xavier they won’t be in Nova’s side of the bracket anyway.

I would see MU as slight underdogs in their first round game whoever it’s against, and it just gets tougher from there. I don’t see them having the depth or quality to win four games in four days.

Maybe but they had no height and had lost a couple head scratchers (Dayton, USF). Now I'm sure they would've been a higher seed and set up for an easy Sweet 16 but not sure I'd buy that it was a FF team.

That's a bizarre team.  I can't figure them or Xavier out.

I've been watching a bunch of Xavier this year because of the daughter. 
The COVID shutdown really screwed them up.  They were on a roll in January and just haven't looked or played the same since returning from the shutdown.

The mentions of Gillespie and Dom ended up leading to a pretty funny comment string here.

We have people talking about Nova's chances of reaching this year's FF ... MU's chances of reaching the 2009 FF ... and the chances of this year's MU team to win the BET ... all in one jumble.

For the record:

Had little chance even with Gillespie ... had pretty little chance even with Dom ... have VERY little chance.

The thing about the 2008-09 team is that yeah CLEARLY losing Dom hurt.  But they had a tough end to the BE season - they ended up losing their last four.  Do they beat UConn with Dom?  What about @Pitt, @Louisville and Syracuse?  They're still losing at least two out of four IMO - at best.

A second weekend team no doubt, but I struggle to see them as legit F4 contenders without things going their way on the other side of the bracket.

These two plus Nova were

4 pt game, OT, 1 pt game.

Can't call them locks. But with Dom, its pretty safe to think we would win those games.

We should have been second weekend anyway. Playing Dom against Mizzou was a mistake. He wasn’t close to 100% and we were playing 4 on 5 for the 17 minutes he was out there. That one was on Buzz.
