We were 21-9 after winning on senior night and in very good shape for an at large bid. Then we travelled to Tennessee to close out the season against a Cuonzo led squad that was on the wrong side of the bubble (but ended up being his most successful NCAA tourney team). They absolutely crushed us 72-45.
We rebounded to win our first game in the SEC tourney to put ourselves back on the bubble, then had to face #1 ranked UF. MU trailed 38-36 with 12 minutes left, and then simply collapsed. We ended up losing 72-49, and come selection time found ourselves on the wrong end of the bubble and went to the NIT.
