Missouri is 16th in the real RPI tonight.
Huge difference. I change my mind. They're a five seed now.
Missouri is 16th in the real RPI tonight.
But what does that have to do with ISU? If anything, a win over Mizzou could help ISU move into the top 25. That would boost Mizzou's record to 5-2.
In addition, Marquette is 2-3 against the RPI top 25 at the moment.
Neither would I. Or Mizzou, for that matter.
That said, if MSU wins the Big 10 tourney, I think that puts them in the Midwest or West. The West bracket will have the best #2 seed, unless the #1 is from the same conference.
The committee isn't going to judge Illinois solely on their RPI. It was a quality win over a quality opponent at the time. Are you suggesting that beating Cal by 39 points wasn't impressive? I understand that both teams have quality wins. It's just that Mizzou has more.
If Georgetown and Baylor are the same team (which they're not), then you're making my argument for me. Mizzou is 2-0 against Baylor, Marquette is 1-1 against Georgetown.
Marquette is 2-2.
They lost to us, G-town and Vandy.
I think all along I, and others, have said Mizzou is the 2 seed and Marquette isn't. The only point is that Marq has a shot at Mizzou's 2. A 2 seed means top 8. One is just on one side while the other is just on the other...right now.
And to me, that's plain old East Coast bias. Mizzou has had a better profile all year, they have a better profile right now, and they will still have a better profile if they lose to ISU and Marquette wins the BE tourney.
We're not going to change each other's minds. The argument is also kind of silly, because after it doesn't happen (and it won't), you'll just say there was always that chance (even though there wasn't).
Mizzou is like those Villanova teams when they were good a few years ago - 4 guards who foul a lot on defense and 1 big man. We can play against that style, and we can stretch out to guard the 3 against a team like that.
Vandy is 26 tonight.
Wow, just wow.
Same goes for Duke, who is a slower version of Missouri, and doesn't play great defense, although they can get hot from 3. I'm not scared of either of those guys as our 2 seed.
Well, you said they were 2-3 vs. top 25. if you wanted to be factual you should have said 2-2.
I want nothing to do with KU NC or any Big East teams as they have experianced our Zone. Duke doesnt scare me at all. Michigan State is always tough and Tom is a great coach one of the best in my opinion. My fear is running into a Gtown or Marq down the road.
Mark my words... I guarantee Michigan St is our #2. Book it, and I dont like it
Only way we can run into one of the top 4 teams from the Big East is in the Final Four. Anyone ranked 5 through 10 in the BE is fair game to see in our regional bracket. So if we see Marq or Gtown, it will be in New Orleans. I'll take my chances with anybody in the Final Four.I want nothing to do with KU NC or any Big East teams as they have experianced our Zone.

Missouri would be a unanimous top line team right now if they had won the last Kansas game; and likely wouldn't get bumped if they lost a controversial 3rd game in OT. And now people want to say they have no shot at it if they win a potential rubber match in the Big12 Finals? Haha, wow, ok.
It's not exactly a middling RPI. They're 13th.
