Mizzou needs to stop losing to last-place teams. At home.

Why they play the whole season.  Hell Misery is in and they just lost to an 11-16 team at home.

But it's hard to weigh what ifs more than actual results

 

ANd in principle...I agree.   I wouldnt be scared at all to play MIzzou

SEC > Big 10

13-5 > 7-11

 

That is the problem... SEC is not 6 games better than the BIG 10

What I am saying.  They are an average team and yet Lunarnuts has them in.

[jayschool]

Didn't IU hire both Bob Knight and Kelvin Sampson?  Yeah. I thought so. F them.

If the talking heads at E$ecPN were not in bed with the $EC they would not be over hyped.

Not playing the what if, watching which conference teams are playing better now.  Arkansas lost tonight, they are suppose to be in, Kentucky is a 6 seed right now and they are average as hell this year, Misery is 18-10 and just lost to a 12-16 team at home.  A&M has a losing conference record and is in.  It is a joke.

Nebraska = the single college basketball program in the entire history of the sport to have had the least fun over the past 120 years. So now we're having fun. And people bitch about it. F them. And did I mention Bob Knight already? Well, F Indiana.

Yet that conference has nearly twice as many quality OOC wins as the Big 10 does.   That's the issue.   It's a lose lose deal.   When your resume is crap (like the BIg 10's is this year) you want the eye ball test to be weighed.   If the situations were reversed....you'd want it based on resume   Always going to be a dilemma.   This year is worse than most because of the volatile season in CBB this year

Boom!  Take that and shove it in your pipe Mr. Hoppen.  I personally love it.  Bench guys deserve to have fun.

Again, teams playing well at the end of the year should be in.  You play the whole year for a reason.  Until a week ago we had 3 teams in the top 10

Agree, who put young Mr Hoppen in charge, maybe he should stick to being an intern at Rivals.

But saying you play the whole year goes both ways.   If you play the whole year for a reason...then why do you favor a team that got hot at the end and wasnt good at the beginning?  If you play the whole year for a reason...then doesn't the comprehensive resume tell the most accurate picture.

 

I think we'd beat and are better than MIssouri.   But overall for the year...they have a better resume.

Maybe Hoppen and others should be annoyed with BTN showing them all the time instead. Naive to think it doesn't have an impact on the team.

I think you jinxed Jordy and Copeland with these tweets 

 

That is pretty amazing for Jordy would have never guessed. Hope they get back on their hot streaks for Sunday
