Or they saw it and take it into account along with all the other games and metrics.

All the non committee bracketology guts had Arizona as the final 1 seed…….this isn’t bad or surprising.

Most thought MU was 5th or 6th overall and instead they have them at 7…….oh no! The horror!
Yes.  It is fair and this is all manufactured outrage.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

The fact that I am MU biased has 0.0 to do with this particular discussion.  No one has a problem with Zona getting the fourth #1 seed, it's about it being unanimous.  And UNC being #5 isn't arguable and is a total joke.

Take a look at the team sheets and explain why MU should clearly be ahead of UNC.

Not worth getting worked up over. Would need to win 2 games before having to worry about any of that anyway. Would be a great problem to have.

That ranking will only make a win today taste a little better.

The Q3 loss is the difference.

I can make the argument but it’s no big deal that they aren’t.

MU has 1 more quad 1 A win and no quad 3 losses……committee said reason that they picked UNC 5th was because of their win over Tenn…….yet that was at home and MU’s virtually identical best win over Kansas was in a neutral site.

MU also has a road win over Illinois which is getter than any road win for UNC. MU also higher in Strength of Record and Wins above bubble……2 of the biggest resume metrics.


But as I said 5th or 7th isn’t a big deal.

Marquette is 7th if I heard right on the Butler game cast.

The ACC is so weak I just done get the love. Didn’t North Carolina just lose to Clemson, Syracuse and Georgia tech? Two of those are horrible teams.

No way of knowing but it’s possible they didn’t factor in the Tuesday games……UNC loss and MU win.

That’s how I feel about it.

Actually, both teams are 6-4 in Q1 games now and they are very similar in many other measures.

MU will have a few chances to improve their position in the remaining games.

Yes but MU has 1 more quad 1A win……those are the really elite wins.

Brad seems to think they completed the top 16 before Tuesday games

After today, MU likely needs to win out in the regular season to be on the 2 line heading into the BE tournament. Not that it really matters.
