being a 20 win season can be looked at as a success. Not counting the Kim years 2007-08 was the last time MU didn't win at least 23 games and several of those 23 win seasons were looked validly at as rather disappointing. In any normal era of MU basketball last year would have been viewed as rather underwhelming and disappointing.

I don't think there is any scenario so disastrous that 9th place could be viewed as good. Both NCAA tourney bid and top half of conference finish are baseline requirements in my opinion, and even then some seasons that meet both those criteria are arguably not good either.

               Your obsessive schtick is pitiful. I hope you begin - MNTIGER MU - 6/26 19:21:50
               Where do you think they will finish? - Mizzou_Fanatic12 MU - 6/26 12:57:59
                    Fair thinking here. I tend to agree that we project to - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 6/26 13:40:50
                         9th isn't bottom four - Mizzou_Fanatic12 MU - 6/26 13:58:57

                         I don't think anyone would, even the team - Mormad MU - 6/26 13:49:13
                    Don't know, too much turnover - FIJItiger MU - 6/26 13:02:57
                         I guess I don't get how you can - Mizzou_Fanatic12 MU - 6/26 13:05:29
                              To answer, in the history of MU basketball since - FIJItiger MU - 6/26 15:24:16
                                   I mean it is a baseline requirement all things being equal - Mizzou_Fanatic12 MU - 6/26 15:30:19
                                        To some extent. I agree that context matters, hence last yr - FIJItiger MU - 6/26 15:35:01
                                             But last year you could flip one win and loss and - Mizzou_Fanatic12 MU - 6/26 15:36:03
                                                  No, it wouldn't surpass the baseline requirements - FIJItiger MU - 6/26 15:37:42
                                                       But don't see you why your baseline is silly then? - Mizzou_Fanatic12 MU - 6/26 15:40:46
                                                            No, I don't see it. Sounds like to me you are - FIJItiger MU - 6/26 15:55:31
                                                                 I would wager a plurality of Mizzou fans would call last - Mizzou_Fanatic12 MU - 6/26 17:08:53

                                                                                Agree, it wouldn't have been a good year then (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 6/26 17:23:21

                                                                                                    I would hope very few fans would consider that good(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 6/26 19:14:56

                                                                      Agreed, alot of not good years (which is different than bad) - FIJItiger MU - 6/26 16:11:50
                                        Also say last year - Mizzou_Fanatic12 MU - 6/26 15:32:24
                                             I wouldn't. I agree, that would not have been a good year(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 6/26 15:36:24
