Why would G-Town be the 7 seed at this point? Beat MU and have a better BE record.
If St. John's beats DePaul this week to complete the sweep (especially likely if Garrett is out), assuming DePaul loses out then St. John's will win the tiebreaker and be the #9 seed. MU REALLY needs to get out of that 8 seed. Playing in the first game of the tournament on St. John's home floor trying to beat them a 3rd time? I don't like those odds. They aren't world beaters right now, but they are certainly much improved.
MU just needs to win. To be honest if we want to make the NIT (which should be the goal at this point), we probably need to win 3 out of our last 4 to feel comfortable, and that will be tough given who we play. If we are still sitting in the 8 or 9 seed come BET time I'm not sure it matters who we play or what side of the bracket we are on.

By the way, had MU beaten Creighton, they'd be in Creighton's spot as the #4 right now. That is crazy!
