Jon Rothstein reported nan 2 programs are adjacent to an statement connected a 3 crippled series.
Check retired nan Feed station from nan news yesterday, positive our Rock M+ Forums had a bully discussion connected nan Non-Conference schedule thread.
The day is tentatively group for November 6th astatine Enterprise Arena successful St. Louis. Mizzou Football has a location crippled against Texas nan adjacent day, truthful it could make for a nosy weekend!
Frank Cusumano added to Rothstein’s first report:
A 3 crippled bid would beryllium bully arsenic agelong arsenic Josh Schertz stays location and keeps nan programme rolling. As a lightly affiliated SLU instrumentality I for illustration these 2 teams playing, but much importantly I for illustration these 2 teams being good.
KenPom’s mean standing for SLU since these 2 teams first started a 3 crippled bid successful 1999 is 111. Missouri hasn’t been nan beacon of consistency hanging successful astatine 70th complete nan aforesaid clip span. Mizzou is connected their 6th coach, SLU is connected nan aforesaid number.
During nan Cuonzo Martin era, Mizzou offered SLU a 3 crippled bid pinch a 2 for 1, 2 games successful COMO and 1 successful St. Louis. SLU turned that connection down. But realistically location hasn’t been a existent lust for either programme to group up a series, since nan coaching turnover and consistency has been lacking. SLU hasn’t been consistently bully for a while now, but they look for illustration they’re apt to deed nan consistency fastener pinch Schertz moving things.
There’s only advantages now for some teams. SLU projects arsenic a apical 50 level programme adjacent season, and Missouri should beryllium arsenic well. That intends it’s a Quad 1 crippled connected a neutral court. A nonaccomplishment doesn’t ding anyone’s resume. And nan action committee usually gives in installments for playing nan game.
I dream we don’t get 3 games astatine Enterprise, and we find a measurement to get these onto field successful nan pursuing years. The neutral tribunal is good for these 2 arsenic a 1 disconnected game, but c’mon guys… play a existent roadworthy game.
With SLU, Marquette, KU, Illinois and nan ACC-SEC Challenge already lined up, Mizzou’s non-conference schedule is looking solid.
Yesterday astatine Rock M and Rock M+
Mizzou Softball is officially successful offseason mode and nan transportation portal awaits. True took a look astatine What Happened this season, what went right, what went wrong, and what’s next?:
Despite missing nan NCAA Tournament successful back-to-back years for nan first clip since nan early 2000s, 1 point tin beryllium said astir nan Mizzou team: not only were they knocking connected nan doorway astatine a postseason bid, but they are so young.
Freshman Abby Carr led nan squad successful location runs (12) and RBI (44) on pinch being a staple reliever successful nan circle this season. Freshman Sidney Forrester vanished 2nd successful location runs (10) and vanished nan play pinch a cleanable fielding percentage. Even freshman Addy Waits, who struggled early successful nan season, recovered her measurement precocious and became a awesome leadoff hitter for nan Tigers. Waits and Arkansas’ Brinli Bain were nan only 2 freshmen nationally pinch 40+ walks this season. All these freshmen played major roles connected nan team’s occurrence and could beryllium awesome options for Mizzou adjacent season. But pinch nan existent landscape, who knows if they stay?
Avery Adcock became nan first Tiger to state their volition to participate nan transportation portal.

Part of my offseason process is doing heavy dives connected individual players to “optimize” nan team. With players who person DI experience, that’s somewhat easy, conscionable requires nan legwork. For freshman though, it’s not arsenic easy. In astir seasons it’s not a large rumor since nan youngins aren’t expected to do much.
This season? Not nan case.
In immoderate event, nan process was simple. Cull likewise rated players complete nan past 3 years, propulsion their data, mean it retired and supply a number. This is retroactive alternatively of predictive,and not immoderate 1 subordinate is identical to another. It’s not perfect, but it’s nan champion we tin do. Here’s what I’ve travel up with...
