Jack Harry can’t believe the Big 12 coaches had the audacity to pick the Missouri Tigers 7th in the pre-season basketball poll.

The Tigers shocked the college basketball world last year coming out of nowhere to win 31 games, the Big 12 post season tournament, and just missing a trip to the Final Four.

Jack says, “Where’s the love after a season like that?”

Jack says the coaches will tell you the Tigers lost DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons. But the real reason why Coach Mike Anderson’s team is given much respect is because his peers don’t trust Missouri’s helter-skelter. The other coaches don’t like to defend this type of ball; it wears their players out.

Jack isn’t predicting the Tigers will win the league, but he does guarantee that MU will finish better than 7th place.
