In arguably Mizzou’s best win of the season thus far, the Tigers have jumped to a No. 4 seed in this latest edition of Rock-M-Tology.
It was another statement win on the season for the Missouri Tigers on Wednesday night at home against potential No. 1 seed Alabama. In the 110-98 victory, Mizzou improved to 20-6 (9-4 SEC) on the year as their chances of solidifying a top four, protected seed in the NCAA Tournament have greatly improved.
The Tigers notched their sixth Quad 1 win of the season, improving to 6-6 in that category this season along with unblemished record in Quad 2-4 games. That current resume has earned Mizzou a No. 4 seed in this latest edition of Rock-M-Tology.
Over at Rock M Plus, DataMizzou’s mini bracket projection, Missouri comes in as a No. 5 seed (prior to the Alabama game).
Alabama stays at a No. 1 seed, because losing at Mizzou is not a bad loss for the Crimson Tide.
