Despite a two-game losing skid to end the regular season, Mizzou Basketball is still in relatively good shape to make the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers aren’t a 100 percent lock by any means, and crazier things have happened — but there’s still a good chance they’ll hear their named
called on Selection Sunday — as Bart Torvik and Team Rankings both give Missouri a 65% chance or better to make the Field of 68.
Per BracketMatrix, Missouri is the last No. 10 seed. Mizzou’s postseason will begin on Thursday in the 2nd Round of the SEC Tournament against either Kentucky or LSU. A win would solidify an at-large bid, but a loss could very well mean the Tigers are being shipped to Dayton for the First Four.
While Missouri’s metrics aren’t the best (currently 60th in the NET rankings) the Tigers have shown they can beat NCAA Tournament teams with a respectable five Quadrant 1 wins.
If Mizzou can play their “A” game in the postseason — the Tigers have the potential to upset a team or two. Though, will a late season stumble come costly?
In our latest SBN Reacts survey — we ask you this: What is Mizzou Basketball’s ceiling (assuming the Tigers make it) in the NCAA Tournament?
