Big East will have the most teams but I also bet Notre Dame won't be among them.

Anyone else get the feeling that Missouri fans haven't seen too many good basketball games? What a bunch of whiners who are clueless about the game of basketball.

Wow, I take half that back. They are a bunch of whiners but it is totally working right now. A 5 second inbound violation called in 3 seconds, pretty funny.

If anyone wants some easy money I will put up $20 if you give me 15-1 that BOTH Kansas and Missouri lose first round in the NCAA Tourney. Both those teams are terrible and too inexperienced to handle March Madness on a neutral court. You'd likely be getting a 3 and 4 against a 13 and 14 and I'd need both to win.

The Big 12 as a whole is having a down year....no question about that. Everybody outside of Oklahoma has some serious problems.
But still, Mizzou has already beaten a fairly respectable USC team on a neutral floor, and also gave a good Xavier team absolutely everything they wanted on a neutral floor before spitting the bit in the end. They have also won several true road games this year...including last week's win at Texas.
Both KU and Mizzou have their flaws, but I think calling them both "terrible" is overstating it a bit.

I'll rephrase my terrible as terrible for a 3 or 4 seed.

Congrats Sean, gutsy win. I don't think either team is terrible. It wasn't the cleanest game, but these two are right up there w/Oklahoma, who I think is overrated as hell.

I am too damn happy with the Tigers victory to take much offense at this.....but as for the fans whining, have you ever watched a basketball game where the home fans DON'T whine about the calls? What was so out of the ordinary about the way the fans reacted in that game?
That was a sweet freaking win.

That was a sweet freakin' victory.

The crowd was completely and totally lost at times, had no clue what the call was even when it was obvious but ultimately it worked as they got the calls later in the game they needed. No offense intended, I just wasn't impressed by either team tonight and think both are extremely susceptible on a neutral court. Oklahoma is alright but they would rip both teams to shreds.
