This should be winnable for Mizzou if they bring a 20 assist energy like they have been and Bill gets shaky and uneven defense from his rotations AND if Dick gets shaky on offense (at the moment, he has to be hitting 3’s to justify his inconsistent defense).

Of course, if Dick starts out hot and rains 3’s, we have the talent to run away like last year, but my gut is telling me this will be close.

Home Alone.

Unfortunately KU always plays great defense against Mizzou. I HATE Bill Self.

kU probably gonna win by 10+ but i dont care. Im not expecting this team to beat ranked teams right off teh rip after what the program has been the last 10 years. Just another game.

Look at these clowns.

Mizzou won 4 of their last 6. KU lost 5 of their last 6. One program was trending up towards the end of the season, it wasn’t KU.

I don’t expect KU to ‘transform’ into anything. I expect them to continue to be one of the worst Power 5 programs in America, year to year. KU is a basketball school. They don’t care about football. The fanbase doesn’t care about football. That is one of the main reasons why they will stay mired in suckitude evermore.

Also beat Wichita on the road. They're at least decent and that means KU will have to play very well to win a road game against them. We haven't seen that kind of high level out of this year's team yet.

It could very well play out that way, but Bill is clearly trying to find his footing after losing his two-way long wingspan guards on his backcourt from last year. Add in the lack of a true “big” (a stalwart on Self rosters) and it’s clear that while he has an incredible amount of talent, finding a balance in his rotations that allows Dick to do his thing offensively while finding reliable guys on defense has been a struggle. I’d say since his teams since the Mason-Graham era (outside of 2020 - the lost title year) have tended to struggle defensively early before he finds rotations he likes at the beginning of conference season. He then rides those rotations until they have the typical Self defensive dominance and consistency from the tourney. The funny thing about last year was seeing all the commentators lavish so much praise on our D in the tourney (deservedly), because at this point last year they looked like the most least athletic and soft defenses Self had ever had. They certainly rose the occasion as the season went on, though.

Yeah, don't care about football that's why we sold out our tickets for the bowl game and had to ask for more. Next time when you don't know what you're talking about it's less embarrassing to just keep your mouth shut

Oh God

Going to destroy mu today

Just a reminder that this MU season from this video ended after this a few weeks later with a collapse on the road at AFH to lose the conference and a loss to #15 seed Norfolk St. (in what, at the time, was the biggest upset in NCAA tournament history). They haven't been nationally relevant since.

This will be my first full MU hoops game this season, they didn’t show most of the games on tv so far.

The sports Gods hate Mizzou.

Still hilarious the best team they've ever had lost to Norfolk state
