I think Mizzou did enough to get on the 6 line but was expecting the 7. I think the whole NET system has some flaws. Primarily the way it hammers teams for a team being the 300th best team instead of the 200th best. Kind of silly.
NET is a complete pile of shit system and anyone who suggests otherwise is selling something. [Reply]

Itd be much better if they didn't arbitrarily decide that certain quad 4 wins were more valuable than other quad 4 wins. If you are going to break down wins into "quads", then all of the wins or losses in that certain quad should be the same value. Break the first 2 quads into more groups so that beating number 1 isn't the same as number 50. [Reply]
Looking up Utah State NCAA tournament history, they are 6-24 overall.
In 1970 made the elite eight and lost to UCLA in regional final.
Starting with that game, Utah State is 1-19 in NCAA tournament in their last 20 games with only win being in 2001 when they won #12 v. #5 over Ohio State in OT. Then lost to UCLA in round of 32. [Reply]
Mizzou played a dog shit out of conference schedule and their best win was Tennessee. Kansas and Alabama boat raced them at Mizzou Arena. Mizzou had no bad losses but they didn't have any really good wins either.
For example:
Tennessee beat Kansas, Alabama, and Texas
Iowa State beat Kansas and Texas
You make a case for Mizzou over Kentucky, but Kentucky did play a better OOC schedule and did finish higher in SEC standings 3 vs 4.
Mizzou looks to be seeded about right. They maybe could have been a sixth seed but seventh seems right. [Reply]

They beat Tennessee twice
They beat 6 top 25 teams
They finished 4th in the SEC
They finished the season 24-9
No bad losses
San Diego State - Mountain West champion
Duke - ACC Tournament Champion plus 3rd place in ACC
Miami - tied for first place ACC
Saint Mary's played a better non-conference schedule and finished second in WCC. [Reply]
Well, I guess that MU will work out a better nonconference schedule next year that won't screw them so badly next year. I don't blame them for such a weak schedule. Martin would have been lucky to be above .509. and nobody expected Gates to turn the team around so quickly that the nonconference schedule would come back to bite them in tournament seeding. [Reply]
