While I'd like to have seen a few more 100-200 ranked teams instead of those below 275, I can see how building the confidence of this team was important in the non conference schedule.

And, losing a lot of Q1/Q2 games in a tough non conference wasn't going to help this team's chemistry or the future of the program.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Does .500 in SEC play make the tournament?(nm) - ZouMiz STL - 12/19 08:49:53

Yes - HissingPrigs77 MU - 12/20 10:29:01

Would really depend on how strong the SEC turns out over- - alwaysright MU - 12/19 18:14:48

Yes, especially considering road wins vs - Spartus MWSC - 12/19 17:00:37

UCF was not a road win. Neutral site game. - Beez90 MU - 12/19 17:13:43

and so are most NCAA tourney games....nm - tigertix MU - 12/19 17:45:02

‘Road’ vs. ‘neutral’ can make a difference in quad - Lovely Rita STL - 12/19 19:23:58

Kinda sort of. nm - Spartus MWSC - 12/19 17:18:03

Depends on the wins(nm) - Calca STL - 12/19 16:26:13

how does his thinking impact the AD? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 12/19 18:42:53

It's the goal but it's not realistic to win SEC in yr one(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 15:12:57

no one's talking about winning the SEC (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 15:16:51

Big picture vs this season. There’s a difference - alwaysright MU - 12/19 18:15:55

That is the goal... doesn't mean it's the expectation. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 15:28:19

What do you think every year means? - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 15:30:09

Killshot! (nm) - smoke MU - 12/19 15:49:11

A successful season would be winning a 1st round NIT game. - muwinn MU - 12/19 12:48:18

Do you think we can win the SEC this year?(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 15:21:50

winning the NIT would be really great for the program(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 12:52:33

In Year 1 of a new coaching era with a roster mainly - dbryantMU13 MU - 12/20 17:45:44

The quality of the tournament has really been enhanced - Genco98 MU - 12/19 14:00:23

It's more about Q1 and Q2 wins(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 12:09:17

That's why playing a weak non-con schedule is retarded. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 12:27:38

RE: That's why playing a weak non-con schedule is retarded. (nm) - smoke MU - 12/19 14:37:50

Don’t use that word Sue - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 12/19 14:26:52

I'm sorry it hurt your feelings. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 14:29:38

Thanks retard(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 12/19 14:53:30

you're triggered... and projecting (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 15:00:16

U wish little weasel man - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 12/19 15:06:00

weird (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 15:08:38

RE: That's why playing a weak non-con schedule is retarded. (nm) - Radical Tiger MU - 12/19 12:52:54

I can understand the rationale though - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 12:51:14

This team probably isn’t a tournament team - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 12:30:50

we should schedule *beatable* Q1 opponents... - zounami MU - 12/19 12:38:10

Are you trying to build a program or not? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 12:40:10

a weak non-con also fails to prepare the team for tougher - zounami MU - 12/19 12:44:40

Yes but it also lets a team with a ton of new players gel - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 12:52:08

we saw how unprepared the team was against battle-tested - zounami MU - 12/19 12:56:44

Only you thought we'd beat Kansas(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 12:57:19

Did you think we'd lose by 30? (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 12:57:33

What was your prediction?(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 12:57:54

I thought we'd play them as tough as Southern Utah did. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 12:59:57

What about Tennessee?(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:01:43

Tennessee crushed KU. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 13:02:27

Yes and?(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:02:56

you asked about Tennessee, so I answered (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 13:03:34

What about Indiana? (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 13:01:30

So you think we're as good as Duke? - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:01:30

Southern UT lost by more than Duke. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 13:02:54

lost by 6 and Duke by 5. HUGE difference. lol(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:03:16

and neither team played KU at home, like we did (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 13:04:44

I'll put you down for Missouri=Duke(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:06:32

your reading comprehension is poor (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 13:07:24

and Sourhern Utah=Duke(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:12:39

your spelling is poor, too (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 14:04:46

So is your comma usage(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 14:17:53

a grade-school level comeback to match his spelling (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 14:23:20

"your reading comprehension is poor"(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 14:38:51

The irony. It's like you're trying to prove my point. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 15:02:32

97(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 15:10:06

Mizzou’s sos is fine - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 12:47:20

our non-con SoS will be propped up by outliers... - zounami MU - 12/19 12:55:14

Mississippi State has played as many quad 4 - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 12:58:32

Multi-year process? The portal allows a coach to rebuild - zounami MU - 12/19 12:59:29

The roster was rebuilt immediately - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 13:03:49

correct... in basketball, the portal allows a coach to - zounami MU - 12/19 13:05:36

So who’s done it - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 13:10:17

hell, Cuonzo did it *without* the portal (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 13:11:40

Seems the claim that overnight rebuilds is off. - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 13:25:04

we'll have to agree to disagree (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 14:07:41

I named 2 guys that have done it - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 14:19:59

you already agreed that "it can be done"... what I disagree - zounami MU - 12/19 14:24:53

I don’t think the portal has really changed the timeline - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 14:34:43

Will a confident team have best chance of winning in SEC? - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 12:56:48

How did that "confidence" pan out against Kansas? (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 12:57:20

That's idiotic because kansas will beat all but a few teams - Mormad MU - 12/19 12:59:06

So you expected us to beat Kansas?(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 12:57:44

I thought it would be close. KU barely beat Southern-UT and - zounami MU - 12/19 12:58:37

You're the only one(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:00:14

What was your prediction for the margin of loss? (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 13:01:09

I didn't think it would be close. And - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:02:12

so, you thought we'd lose by 30... at home? (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 13:03:11

I figured it wouldn't be close. (nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:06:08

so, you predicted a ~30 point home loss? (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 13:06:41

I was closer than you(nm) - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 13:13:59

you're great at predicting the past (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 14:07:11

Says Mrs 'KU is very beatable" - LamarFrazier MU - 12/19 15:31:02

with our non-con schedule, probably not (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 11:38:24

Reminder zounami doesn't like black people (nm) - Columbian Gold MU - 12/19 11:58:50

i.e., if your best non-con win is Central FL (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 11:40:18

Could be Illinois or Iowa State - Hickeytime MU

- 12/19 11:55:35

All depends on who you beat - tsutiger57 MU - 12/19 11:17:03

indeed... going 6-7 against a quality non-con schedule... - zounami MU - 12/19 12:42:30

Neither of those would get this team in the tournament - Hickeytime MU

- 12/19 12:48:25

The main criteria is # of Q1 wins. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/19 12:56:22

Absolutely. SEC is loaded this year. (nm) - tiger4real MU - 12/19 10:59:10

Probably not, but who knows - Mormad MU - 12/19 09:49:30

Traditionally, no - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 08:52:29

and the committee tends to punish teams with extremely - zounami MU - 12/19 11:39:48

In general SEC teams have needed to be above .500 - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 11:55:46

2018 had an outlier you failed to include - longtimereader MU - 12/19 15:18:22

Good find. I was just looking at .500 - wu-tangtiger MU - 12/19 16:35:05

I think it depends on the quality of OOC victories - Genco98 MU - 12/19 08:51:16

Think a win against Illinois and Iowa st. would help(nm) - itznotwillis MU - 12/19 08:51:09
