The Missouri Tigers have taken the first step towards being one of the number one seeds in the upcoming NCAA tournament. The Tigers this evening beat Oklahoma State 88-70. The game was not as close as the score. With the win, Mizzou advances into a Big XII Conference Semi-Final game against the winner of tonight's Iowa State - Texas matchup in Kansas City. Mizzou swept both of those teams during regular season play. While, it is tough to beat the same team three times in a season, Missouri should be able to pull it off at the Sprint Center be it the Longhorns or the Cyclones.
That would set up the Big XII title game on Saturday afternoon. Presumably it will be against Kansas. (But, that might be a huge assumption. Kansas will have to get past a very good Baylor team that is playing as well right now as it has all season). Should KU win, Mizzou and the chickenhawks have already played twice this year and have split. On a neutral court I like Missouri's chances to win the whole tournament. And with that being the best team in a tough conference the winner should get the number one seed in the Midwest.
