This was posted this today 2/11. Not sure I agree about the seed line and our chance to improve our position, but thought this was worth sharing.
Missouri seems poised to play in the 8-9 game. The Tigers would be in the tournament as of today, with a handful of Quadrant 1 wins and a solid rest of the résumé. Their remaining schedule lends itself to the Tigers not really moving the needle either way. Michael Porter Jr., former elite recruit and projected top-10 pick, said on Friday that there's a good chance he returns this season. A team that was a top 35 to 40 team all season suddenly adding one of the most talented players in the country? That's a nightmare scenario for a 1-seed.
