Can Mizzou still get in the NCAA Tourney without winning the SEC Tourney?

[straight out of st louis robert ave]

Unless they start shooting lights out from 3-point range I can barely see them winning 5 of the last 11 games. The end of the season could get very ugly.

If they beat all but their ranked opponents they will go 12-6.

And get in.

Of course..... it won't go down that way, we all know it.

I'll just say I'm more optimistic than you on this (dire) and let the games play out. They have a path but they can't mess around.

Did you watch the OU game? We needed to TWO miracles to beat a shytty OU squad, ON OUR HOME COURT. And you think we're going to win 6 games down the stretch? Optimistic is one way to put it. Delusional is another.

Alabama beat OU by 2 and Arkansas beat them by 4. Against A&M it was a one possession game with one minute left. They had a 16 point lead against Nebraska but ended up losing by 6
No, they're not winning, but OU is competitive.

Mizzou can make the tournament. They have opportunities.
Oklahoma plays competitive against all the SEC Teams.
And we beat Oklahoma in the closing seconds. We are just as good or better than Oklahoma.
And Mizzou has home court against Texas, Tenn, Vanderbilt and Arkansas which is a positive.
Mizzou is really tough at home so I expect a few wins against these tough teams.
Personally, I hope Mizzou knocks off Vanderbilt and Tyler Nickel. That guy is such a punk.
I also listened to Vandy's Tyler Tanner's interview and how he says he is so "confident".
This is a game at Mizzou arena that I hope we win. Let Vandy come in "overconfident" and we can steal a game.
The games against Tenn and Texas will be tough, but the games are at Mizzou Arena so we also have a chance.
The Oklahoma and Miss State are away and will be "revenge" games since Mizzou beat these teams at home.
Finally, I hope we split the two games against Arky.

They could do it, but I don’t think they will. The back half of their conference schedule is much tougher. Needed to go 6-3 or 7-2 in the first half. Don’t think they’re good enough on the road and not consistent enough to beat multiple good teams within a short timeframe.

To be honest, you make good points.
I was basing my hopes on Mizzou's excellent home record.
It is going to be tight.
If they lose on the road to So Carolina, you can kiss their chances of making the NCAA tournament goodbye.

Yes, 3 road games are must wins. Doubt they win all 3. Don’t like the Texas matchup either. If both teams play their A game, then Texas is better.
They could prove me wrong. If Barrett, Strone, Mitchell, Pierce and Crews are all clicking at the same time, they can beat anyone on their remaining schedule. Hope they do

Would you rather have a short run in the NCAA or a long run in the nit? I just don't see enough consistency to make a run in the NCAA, especially as a low seed which is what they will be if they somehow sneak in. I know the goal is to win a national championship but realistically what is the chance of that?

much rather go with the glory days - it can remind us all of the Stormin' Norman days

1 and done in the NCAA tourney in case you weren't picking up what I was throwing down!

I love when people use 12 "close" losses as proof of competency.

[11WSChamps]

I feel the LSU loss could be the last straw if Tigers are on the proverbial bubble.

That was a killer.

6-3 in SEC play would look pretty good right now.

There was no mention of 12 of anything, so your competency comment is clearly projection.

The post was an obvious acknowledgement that this league has a bunch of teams similar to Mizzou in that there are significant flaws, and any team can beat any other team.

The post also obviously pointed out that Missouri is not the only team that has struggled against OU. Nobody said OU is good, rather I said they are competitive, which they are.

But, go ahead and put the blinders on and continue thinking all the other SEC teams have rock solid lineups with no weaknesses except for Missouri.

Upsets happen all the time in college basketball. Do you get the correlation with "Cinderella"? So, to call out one game (and one that Missouri won) as some sort of indictment about how bad they are, shows a real lack of understanding the college game. That, or it's willful ignorance, or just good ole' trolling.

Good ole trolling always includes willful ignorance.

But only if you give someone like nonmizzou an opening.

ZeroU is a garbage team that Mizzou needed two miracles to beat AT HOME. Can Mizzou get to The Tourney without (lets forget about winning) doing extremely well in the SEC Tourney, like three wins? I very much doubt it. It could happen but not without Ant returning to and actually improving on what he was before falling into this funk he's in. TO is doing quite well at the point but pretty quickly teams will figure out how to guard a player that (inconceivably) doesn't have a jump shot (literally NO jump shot) and he won't be able to drive as easily as he has been.

TO is 4 for his last 7 from 3. He just needs to be a little bit of a threat to open the lanes, so he can pass guys open. Thank goodness for Barrett, or Missouri would dead in the water. Have never seen a regression like Ant. All mental.
Missouri has a better chance of going 5-4 than it does of winning three games in three days. I don’t see 5-4, personally. Too I consistent on the road and their home games are about to get a lot tougher.
I still completely disagree that they must be terrible since they barely beat OU. Thats just not how college basketball works.

Yeah, this is the same team that beat Florida at home and beat Kentucky on the road. The Sooners just lost by 15 at Kentucky. And Alabama just got wiped out by Florida. Comparative scores just don't add up. College basketball can be very unpredictable and highly dependent on matchups.
