Be pretty cool for Mizzou and St. Louis U to meet in the Big Dance

Right now, who would you pick if they met? By the way, St. Louis U is currently at 14 and 1. Their only loss was by one point to Stanford. Pretty darn impressive.

No thanks. I'd rather they both advance as far as they can without having to play each other.

Title game? Sure! :D

SLU lost to the only team they played with a pulse -- Stanford at 69 NET. They have played 0 ranked teams. Not worthy.

SLU's schedule is as big as a joke as their ugly campus.

I hope SLU collapses and misses the tourney.

This idea they aren't worthy to play Missouri is laughable.

Almost as if some posters are afraid.

The Enterprise Center is hosting first and second round games. Both teams would be eligible to play there.

If it happens, then maybe it would wake up SLU and get them to realize if they want to play Mizzou during the regular season, a home and home would have to include their home game at Enterprise as well

Santa Clara and VCU are good teams. SLU has a cupcake schedule, but also why they are not ranked even though they are 14-1. That being said, they are destroying teams that are not good and with the exception of one bad luck bounce and lucky three vs stanford at the last second, they are taking care of business. They may not even lose a game in a10 play if they stay that consistent. So, they are very worthy of the tourney. They should play each other every year in non-conference play.

I didn't mean that they may not end up being worthy of making the NCAAT. What I should have clarified is that they're not worthy of the hype at the moment given their schedule. Do you really think they could beat Kansas or Illinois? Or Kentucky or Florida? Doubt it.

I’ve always thought Mizzou should play SLU. It would be a fun game. Most of the time Mizzou would win, but there are years that SLU would win and it would probably be fairly competitive many years.

I also think we should play Missouri State.

Both teams have work to do to make the tourney. If both do really well in conference they’ll probably make it. Especially Mizzou. That said, with a full healthy roster Mizzou is the better team and it’s not that close.

What hype?

They get less than Missouri and they are 14-1 and have played like it.

Their "hype" is still below what it should be for any team with that record.

This is just it...I really don't want to argue between the 2 because I like and support both of them. Both have a tough row to get to the dance and I wish both the best trying to do it.
