Dont shoot me.....just thinking out loud. I only have 3 right now.....these are teams not in the Ap or coaches top 25 that I think can make some noise.....
 
Florida St...RPI of 28....3 of 5 losses have been to Duke, Pitt and UNC....
 
Missouri....RPI of 22 and have lost to Xavier and Illinois both on neutral courts....just beat Texas on the road....
 
LSU.....RPI of 49.......beat Tenn/ Miss/Miss St ....no horrible losses.....3 road games and at home to Xavier...
 
just food for thought....i'm ready for the MADNESS to begin....please chime in with any other thoughts or teams....

I think the SEC is underrated, so I like your ideas.   Maybe Sienna gets the slipper this year......

And Don't count out Lon (don't call me Freddie) Kruger's Runnin' Rebels..... may have to stick one of their games on the WWMRD threads during Madness.  Anyone going to Reno 1st week????

Have you seen them play this year?

Weve had a chance to win every game in the final minute with the exception of in Cameron. We have lost at the buzzer 4 times now and should have beat Clemson. I think your opinion is as unfair as mine is biased

Of course I've seen them play. I never said they didnt have a good team, i said I didnt think they have the "squad" this year to make a run during the Madness....they've beat BC/WF and Miami, and lost all the other games vs decent compitition.....they arent pulling those close games out, which is something a good tourny team does...if they were 18-4 and had pulled out 3 of those close games, then they might be on my Darkhorse list.....

wasn't being unfair bro, believe me I watch enough bball...... just giving my opinion......

Mizzou is in the tourney for sure imo....they should win at least 3 more regular season games and a Big 12 tourmy game......24/25-7/8 will get them a 5 or 6 seed......the game vs oklahoma will be HUGE......

MU is 5-1 last 6 and 3-0 at home vs Oklahoma........

 

Saturday vs Neb will be a revenge spot....but 11 is too many to give because Nebraska will dictate tempo like they've done to everyone this year....mizzou wins 67-60
