The Last 8

[Lightning Rod]

Missouri with a 6.5 spread for tonight?

Is that right?

I would have thought it would be higher???

Since you are questioning your own thought, the answer is NO.

Just because AM lost by 20 at home in their last game to a team Mizzou already beat, that doesn't mean Mizzou should be a double-digit favorite.

Not sure what you mean about me questioning my own thought?? Given each team's conference performance to date, I expected A&M to be an 8-9 point favorite at home.

You used question marks after, "I would have thought."

And how can you think AM would be a bigger favorite, when they just lost by 20 at home in their last game to a team Mizzou already beat?

Well, what do you think the spread should be?

Do you really expect an answer from this troll? Lol

Well will they or won't they?

Lots of talk how they need 10 wins to get in and likely 1 tournament win as well.

This team is not easy to predict.....I'm still waiting for their best basketball....as seen below with three ranked wins and a home game sweep....here's how I pick 'em:

A&M (R) L
Texas W
Vandy W
AR (R) L
Tenn W
MS (R) W
OK(R) L
AR W

dhsux,
Good choices for remaining 8 games.
I am actually hoping Mizzou knocks off Texas A&M.
Florida killed A&M on Saturday and this Chicago kid, Rashaun Agee looked bad.
Agee is the centerpiece of A&Ms offense and he looks vulnerable.
Well, Mizzou beat Florida and we are certainly capable of beating A&M.
Stop Agee and we can win this game.
I CAN DREAM!

Good call Robert!

Let me clear this up (pardon the contortion of English). We win 4 more, we are in with a 10-8 conference record. If we end up 9-9, I don't think we get in, even with some wins in the SEC tourny. Wins in the SEC tourny mean little.

They mean the same as the regular season.

No, actually they don't. A 10-8 conference record gets you into the NCAA tournament. An 8-10 or 9-9 record, even if you throw on a couple of SEC tournament wins, likely doesn't get you into the NCAA field.

You feel that the committee would look at a team with a 9-9 conference record and a run the the SEC Championship game the same way as a 9-9 team who lost in the first round?

With 3 of their last 7 games against teams they are tied in the league with and 1 against a team 1 game ahead of them, they definitely hold their destiny in their own hands.

Not necessarily. But I was responding to the comment that conference tournament wins are the same as regular season conference wins, which I think is inaccurate.

Think all you want, but conference tournament games are put into the same Quads as regular season games.
