Then it might be apples to apples.
I'm over KU and Mizzou not playing, though. I understand the logical argument you can make against KU scheduling that game. I do think that a MU/KU matchup would be much more profitable than MU/SLU. Guaranteed national broadcast, long rivalry and tradition of hatred, etc.

Mizzou is clearly a superior school and hoops program to SLU, probably one of the top 30 all time but I point out the factoid We can't dictate our schedule ("you owe it to generations of fans to continue!") but MU can. That's really the point. You sorta see the point, but many of your fellow fans can't.
