Haven't seen much at all of this team but just caught the DePaul game.
This is a fun team to watch when they play well. Outside game via multiple people with Fischer inside. I can see how they can compete with anyone on any given night.

Deonte Burton hit 7/9 from deep today for ISU to help beat Kansas. I forgot he was at ISU now.

If Rowsey and Reinhardt are on they can beat anyone. If they are off they can lose to anyone.

That's because playing defense is optional for this squad.

Creighton loses to Xavier. That win over Butler might keep Creighton ranked, but if it doesn't that hurts MU.

Valiant effort

Lunardi has MU vs. Syracuse in a play-in game.

That's irrelevant unless they start winning again. Wojo is in his third season and each year his teams have been terrible defensively.

He can only blame this on roster turnover so much. Buzz for all of his faults, he also had turnover early in his tenure, yet his teams defended and were tough, unlike the mushy soft teams both physically and mentally under Wojo each year since taking over.

Nice win last night, win on Saturday and they have a little breathing room for the bubble talk

For me I think with current resume that get to 20 wins it's a lock. Anything less I'm gonna sweat it although I think 19 should get them into play in game.

With the bubble this year and the good wins over Nova, Creighton, and Xavier, 1 more win might be all that is needed to get a play in game, 2 and they are a lock and avoid a play in game

No other bubble teams have the signature wins to match those

I think Xavier is overrated. Their best win all year is @ Creighton by 2 after Watson was done for the year.

Beating #1 Villanova isn't better than that?

Xavier was a good team, but injuries have hurt them bad, along with Myles Davis quitting the team.

Either way, the win gives them a nice RPI boost which is needed.

MU's resume looks a little less sexier after losses by Nova and Creighton tonight.

Hey, i dislike MU as much as the next Badger fan... but 8-7 in league is good enough to make the NCAAs right now. They're in.. as long as they dont lose 3 of the next 4 or something silly, they should be fine

The field is so weak this year, so that should help MU if they can take care of business over the next couple weeks.

Probably back to the play-in game now.

Big choke today. It does seem like an overall weak year all over. I don't see MU as a tournament team and yet if they do make it I wouldn't be surprised if they went farther than UW. Although both could be one and done. Just too hard to predict
