Billlikens Did Good Today. Mizzou Did Good Last Night

I hope they put them in the same bracket.

That would be cool, to see them play in the tourney. Sadly I don't think we're going to get a first round match-up between the two. Missouri is for the moment staying put at about an 8-10 seed, while St. Louis should probably be anywhere from a 4-6 if they can go on to win the Atlantic 10 tournament. So unless both teams advance probably at least a couple games, it's hard to see it happening.

Anyway, we have a couple of great games coming up in the next couple days for the two teams. Mizzou plays Ole Miss tonight, which should be a good test. With a loss it's probably on to an 8 vs. 9 game in the tournament, but a win sets up a semi-final against Kentucky/Vanderbilt. I'd be very happy to get there in any situation, but a rematch against Kentucky would be awesome. But Vanderbilt could definitely land there, because they basically have home-court advantage and they're better than most think. And then SLU gets a chance for another huge win against Butler tomorrow, which could really start to move their seed into the 4-5 range. I hope both teams are playing all the way through this weekend. If they can win the conference tournament they could be a team that I could see picking in my bracket to make the final four-if they have a decent draw.
