If he comes back Saturday vs Arkansas and plays in the SEC tourny, pretty sure most teams won't be happy to see Mizzou in their bracket.


It will be interesting to see how Cuonzo works him in. Obviously he is a great player but before this recent skid, Mizzou was playing really well.

If you lose to Vandy it won't matter.

I agree with most people's assessment that Mizzou has tired legs. 8 man rotation (really more like 6 or 7) is really having an impact on us in the 2nd half of games. MPJ will help with that some, but I think you could see him come back and take over some games, obviously he won't be playing 30 minutes a game, but he'll have very rested legs.

I think this is bullshite too.

Mizzou loses on the road to Vandy, beats Arkansas, and then wins 2 or 3 SEC tournament games they could get in, especially considering the state of the SEC.

If you lose to Vandy you would have to make the SECT title game to have a shot.

The left one, sure. The right one, not so much.

Depends who they beat in the tournament. As others have stated, losing on the road in conference doesn't hurt you as much.

If Mizzou loses to Vanderbilt, then beats Arkansas at home, gets a win against Auburn/Kentucky/Tennessee in the tournament they could still easily be a bubble team.

IMO Kassius' old shoes are causing foot pain

That needs to be addressed immediately

Yea I agree - a loss @ Vanderbilt doesn't kill them. It definitely doesn't help, but they'll still have multiple opportunities with Arkansas and the SECT.

He said talented, not consistent. No way you can say he isn't talented.

You lose to Vandy, then y’all going to have to win 2 in the SEC tournament.

We said losing on the road in conference doesn't hurt you to an extent.

Losing your 4th game in a row and to an rpi 118 team is going to do some damage. Losing 4 of 5 in that scenario heading into the SECT, probably gonna take making the finals. A first game draw of LSU/UGA would be of no value.

I agree, which is why I said if we win 2 or 3 in the tournament.

Petty was the #33 player on 247. That's solid, but he's not some definite 1st rounder. He was rated lower than every Kentucky freshmen that plays.

I'm not saying we don't have a good roster, but people talk about our team like it's loaded. In reality we play several 3*s, a couple guys with potential like Petty and Jones, and one star player in Sexton.

Bama is about to play their way out of the tournament for the 3rd straight year.

Well, I can't speak for everyone and I'm sure you hear much more than I do regarding Bama basketball but it seems most just accept that you guys have a good roster. It seems a lot of Bama fans believe they are underachieved with the talent they have as well.
