Loss in Elite 8 is a "magic carpet ride" for Missouri? Damn the bar is set pretty fricking low, isn't it?

Well, seeing as your team has been completely absent from the NCAA tournament for four straight years and counting, I'm not sure there are enough magic carpets in the whole Arabian Desert to even lift your asses back up to that "low bar."

And to answer your question, yes, I think you'd see an Arkansas team that was unranked preseason and picked middle of SEC pack and got torched 120-68 early in the year but then proceeded to go 16-0 in the SEC and finish as a top five ranked, Elite Eight team as a "magic carpet ride" for that team under the circumstances.

Hell, Kentucky has a vastly, vastly superior hoops tradition to Arky in every single way - and THEY still term their 1992 team that had minimal expectations but finished as an Elite Eight team as "The Unforgettables."

Better step your game up. This is getting too easy here now.
