1. We are currently 43rd in kenpom rankings
2. Tilmon, M. Smith, Watson, Pickett, Mckinney, Braun are local players
3. We just played OU, and I don't think anyone under 60 would rather see us play Big 12 opponents rather than SEC opponents.
Games against programs like Xavier are much better non-con matchups than SLU, SEMO, and SMS. We can't play SLU annually because we already play the Braggin Rights and they expect a return game. Hopefully ku ends up receiving a death penalty because we will regret rekindling that association, would be much better if we never played them again.
MU is less than 3 years removed from essentially giving up on the program, that is why there is a lack of interest and lack of success. While it may be a factor, there is no way that schedule issues are among the top 7-10 reasons we are struggling.
