Mizzou

Are they as good as they look? Anyone think they can they win the whole thing?

It's all matchups. They can take it to a lot of traditional teams. But a team like Kentucky (who has a 4 more like a 3) or Syracuse (who has the depth but doesn't play man to man) might be able to exploit them. Mizzou is Duke's worst nightmare, I think, much like Villanova was in 2009. This might be Mizzou's first Final Four.

I'd like to see a Marquette-Missouri matchup. That'd be fun to watch.

Mizzou can win it all. They are a senior laden team that can beat Kentucky. Kentucky is most vulnerable giving up points off screens both inside and outside the arc. If you put down $2,500 dollars on a Vegas futures bet at the beginning of the season the pay back would be $250,000.00 ( a quarter of a million). The 100/1 was with Bowers healthy. After his injury you probably could have got better odds. Who ever made that play has hope for a big pay day. It wasn't me. I'm out to Storrs.

They can beat anyone (except KState). They definitely could be Kentucky. I think that, because Kentucky's starting PF is not a traditional PF in how he plays and who he can guard, I think they match up well.

I think most teams in the top 15 could win it all... And Missouri definitely has a chance. Experienced team and they have been very consistent. Kentucky poses a tough matchup for anyone but their guard play and in-game coaching leaves something to be desired... They're the favorites but everyone else is right there.

People right now are saying Cuse is likely a final four team but they might not be tomorrow after we paste them by 15

Great comeback by KU but that was a REALLY soft foul call to give them the winning free throws

What a damn shame that a great rivalry is being broken up by Big Conference-itis.

...terrible finish for mizzou....how much time did the guy bringing the ball up think they had? Then to not even get a shot off???

Sad to see this matchup gone after this year. Both colleges truly hate each other. Nice send off by the refs/big 12 for Mizzou to the SEC.

As to Mizzou's chances in the NCAA I like their chances better than KU. They have the best guards in the nation. KU is going to run up against a bad game by Tyshown Taylor who when he is bad is usually unreal bad.

On another note, Rutgers pulling that off against Seton Hall may really help uconn in the end...

their frontcourt is too small IMO

Missouri absolutely could win it all - Kansas is right there, too.

Two of the best games I've seen all year have involved those two teams.

Misery chucks up way too many 3's, that cost them the game today.
