If the season ended now, MU would be in the NCAA tournament with that NET ranking, but obviously there are a lot of games to play yet that will determine that outcome. If the key players stay healthy, I feel good about their chance of making the NCAA tournament.
Vanderbilt is currently one spot behind at 38, so beating them Saturday would give another small boost in NET ranking.
Currently there are 9 SEC teams above MU in the NET rankings.
Illinois and Kansas are in the top 10 in NET ranking, with IL at 8 and KS at 10.
