So I was trying to figure out how Mizzou's RPI was as high as it is (3) and noticed some interesting stuff in there.

For instance, did anyone else notice that Iowa State has won 9 straight games? Or that St. John's has a top 20 RPI and is sitting at 10-2? Hell, Wagner has a higher RPI than Stephen F. Austin (and SFA looks to be a damn tough team).

It's hard to say anything means all that much at this point in the season when they've played a whopping two true road games and those are often what make/break a season. But still, when you start digging through the schedule a bit more you see why Mizzou's ranked as high by the computers as it is.

And then you start to wonder if they're that good or just a little bit lucky. Iowa State was an absolute mess to start the year before figuring something out. We caught St. John's without their top scorer. Those 2 games may have gone quite differently at a different point in the season.

But again - time will tell. 18 conference games to establish who they really are. Kinda hate having 2 matchups with KY and A&M because those appear to be the two toughest outs in the conference and we get both of them twice, but at the same time it gives them a chance to show off a bit if they can even split them.

Everything is still there in front of these guys for the taking. But damn they need to get the ball control figured out. Can't beat premier teams turning the ball over 20+ times.

The Illini game will hurt Mizzou's RPI if they win or lose. Illinois is 185th.

Jimkcchief88 · 12-23-2017, 11:33 AM

Still need to win the game or it’s a baaaad loss come tourney time. M-I-Z

POND_OF_RED · 12-23-2017, 11:57 AM

I hope Tilmon goes off tonight to rub a little salt in the wound.

Geist is really playing like shit in this game. Bad passes, terrible drives, getting lost on defense.

Priest31kc · 12-23-2017, 07:34 PM

Geist has been terrible. Sit him for the night and just play Harris & Phillips.
