What teams do you have in mind?
Teams with bigs will have trouble with the pressure and also defensively matching up with a 4 guard system. I havent seen a team this season that Mizzou couldnt beat on a given night. Now I'm not saying there arent a lot of teams that couldnt whip MU on a given night, because there are a handful.

Well, very unimpressed with their 1st test of the year, other than the fact that they actually won the game...
Poor shot selection and some bad perimeter defense was really the 2 bad areas tonight.....
They play like this and they could lose in the 1st round of the tourney.....
Oral Roberts up next on new years eve....Probably see a Mizzou -10ish line....

Obviously, its a long shot, hence the odds. However, I'm predicting a 27-4 or 26-5 record and a 3 or 4 seed for Mizzou. I dont think they lose until Jan 21st @ Baylor, but even that is winnable. Kansas and Baylor are the only threats in the Big 12, which is way down this year. Obviously every road game in conference will be a challenge like it is for every team.
The Tigers havent played anybody, this I know. ND and Cal got smashed and Cal is supposed to contend in the Pac 12, for what thats worth. Really excited to see the line vs Nova and Illinois as those will probably be the lone lined games in December (besides ODU on the 30th).
The Pressey brothers along with Dixon, English and Denmon are pretty solid on both ends of the court and provide a nice mix of leadership (3 sr, 1 jr, 1 soph). Moore, Ratcliffe and Green have been better than I anticipated.....
I doubt you will see these odds for Mizzou much longer, and definately not come tourney time. I'm basically asking them to reach the Sweet 16, and then I can reevaluate and see what the future holds.
Win or lose, I will be in this thread til the end of March, or hopefully early April. 
So let me hear how dumb/crazy/retarded I am. 
Do I know my team or what. Was wrong about the first loss being to Baylor.
I stayed away from them tonight as I feared a #2 natioanl ranking, a road game and a letdown from beating Baylor would be the perfect storm for a loss, but I couldnt bring myslef to bet on Ok St.
Still like them to win 7 or 8 of the next 11.....They have 4 tough road games left and Baylor, Ok St, Kansas and K St @ home.....
Still pegging Mizzou as a 3 seed.....

Bowers not playing is the reason the are doing well. 
Kansas should beat us by dd in Lawrence in 3 weeks. Still lookin at a 3 seed when all is said and doen imo....
Still glad to see Conner Teahan lose. What a box bag.

4 guards will win games, but wont win a title on neutral courts......they may make the elite 8, but i cant see them making the final 4....kansas should have gotten them last weekend..

Cant really argue. It all depends on their draw in the bracket. Elite 8 is doable and past that is tough indeed.

No reason not to take a shot with those odds...great value. As far as their draw goes, I don't think the bracket is that easy. If they play Florida or Marquette, those are two teams that are guard oriented and can play four out, one in as well. Florida got screwed to be a #7 seed. And then Izzo is like 6-1 in elite 8's if they played Michigan St
