@OM
State
aTm
@LSU
OM
@UK
@Vandy
Arky

3 against OM and Vandy who are the bottom 3 teams in the league. 3 of the 4 road games are against bottom half teams. 6 of 8 against teams with losing conference records.

5-3 in this stretch and we are a virtual lock for the tournament. 4-4 probably gets us in.

We are in excellent shape for a bid.

I'm being optimistic here and say we go 5-3 which would put us in.

Considering where MU roundball has been just being in this conversation is a win.

This is a tourney team. I put the total Ws at 22-24 after the SEC tournament and that gets them in the big dance.

My hope is they get a 7 or 10 seed and get a chance at winning the first game.

Love for them to push for a 6/7 seed. Probably asking a bit much and can go the other way too, but very doable.

I'd just like them to land in the same bracket as ku. I want a rematch.

Agree with prediction of 5-3. Just.make.the.tournament.

Love that Mizzou basketball is trending up again! Really excited about Torrence Watson next year. He’ll be our basketball EZE. Small prep school kid that we managed to out recruit OSU for.

Reinforces how big these last couple Ws are. Grabbed our opportunity to get big wins that will rate RPI-wise when the committee starts picking!!!

We still need wins through the rest of the season, but none of those games will carry the clout of our last couple Ws.

My mindset has gone to seeding, sure we can collapse. So can anyone. Hoping for a 5-6 seed at this point if we play well down the stretch.

Right. We are firmly in. We are playing for seeding at this point. Would sure be nice to get off of that 8/9 line.

It seems the RPI is less important now, but ours sure has jumped lately. ia state keeps helping, St Johns etc. Also aggies win would obviously help. If we could go 2-0 this week that’s gotta put us in top 25, I’d guess around 22, with MPJ on the horizon....

With the way this team struggles to put games away late, they could easily lose every game....or they could be just as likely to win them all too. Who knows? I don't see an easy win the rest if the way though...league has improved so much overall.

Ole Miss at home is as close as it gets to easy. The rest are tossups.

We’ll need our best effort to beat A&M on Tuesday. We should beat Arky and Ole Miss at home and Vandy is a winnable road game.

At UK and at LSU will be tough, IMO, but still not impossible at either place.

I said they could just as easily win them all as well and I hope they do just that. If you're gonna quote me...quote the whole statement.

KenPom game predictor has us finishing 4-2 with losses @Kentucky and @LSU

That would be a pretty strong finish for us. 21-10 (11-7). We have a good SOS and our RPI and the leagues RPI is high. I'd like to think that puts us in line for a 7 seed with the ability to push for a 6 with a strong tournament showing.
