Two years ago Missorui was damn good. Not only did they have AJ, Paulding, and Bryant, but they had Kareem Rush and Clarence Gilbert. They had a tough time in the regular season in an ultra-competative Big 12. Well, I saw the ability in them to get to the Elite Eight (I picked them as a 12 seed to get to there and lose to Oklahoma...I nailed that region, picking UCLA to upset Cinncy in the 2nd round).

This year, I don't think they are as good overall, and they have had an even harder time dealing with the loss of Clemens. BUT, they have come around as of late, and may steal the spot from Oklahoma. I do think that if trends continue and the Big 12 shapes up as OSU, Texas, KU, Mizzou, OU, CU...then the top five teams will make it and CU will be left out. I could see the #6 getting in IF it is OU or Mizzou, and they get the win in the 1st round of the Big 12 Tourney, and especially if they can beat Kansas in round 2 (Kansas is the weakest link by far of the top three).
