Rock-M-Tology: Staying at a Six
The Missouri Tigers picked up a much needed win on Saturday over the South Carolina Gamecocks to stop a three-game losing streak, and are now back to over .500 in conference play heading into the final stretch of the season.
Not even looking at their resume, Missouri has done exactly what a Power Five conference team needs to do to comfortably make the NCAA Tournament. Regardless of what happens on March 3 when the Tigers face the Gators on the road, the Tigers will - at minimum - have at least a .500 record on the road, a neutral court win, and at least 8 home wins. Add in six Quadrant 1 wins, and Missouri is essentially a lock to make the NCAA Tournament.
