Missouri went 0-3 in March and can’t feel totally secure about its place in the NCAA Tournament just yet. The Tigers will be a bubble team on Selection Sunday and must watch out for bid thieves this weekend.

The SEC’s strength could be a differentiating factor for Mizzou.

Missouri NCAA Tournament Resume

  • Missouri KenPom: 51
  • Missouri NET Ranking: 58
  • Missouri Strength of Record: 39
  • Missouri KPI: 52
  • Missouri BPI: 44
  • Missouri Quadrant 1 Record: 5-6

Missouri NCAA Tournament Prediction

I am predicting Missouri will make the 2026 NCAA Tournament.

There’s plenty to dislike about Missouri’s tournament resume. But ultimately, a team with five Quad 1 wins will be hard to ignore on this year’s bubble.
