First some various data points.
Prior to our UK win (and all Sat games), Lunardi moved MIZZOU into the Last 4 in and had us as the 3rd to last team at large in the dance. This was via twitter and not on the ESPN website.
Jerry Palm had us as a #9 seed on solidly in the dance.
Remember that there are about 44-45 spots available for at larges or champions of multi bid conferences. There are app. 23 one-bid leagues. Before upsets, etc contract the bubble.
MIZZOU:
SOS #12
Computer rankings:
Kenpom 37
Sagarin 38
RPI 32
Quadrant Records:
Tier 1: 5-6 (wins @UCF-72, @SC-64, UT-13, @Bama-38, UK-16)

Tier 3: 4-1 (loss N-Illini)
Tier 4: 3-0
