YOU MEAN THEY MIGHT LOSE IF THEY DON'T SCORE MORE POINTS THAN THE OTHER TEAM?

Just kidding, I get what you are saying, they don't have inside game if they are cold from the guards.

Just go ahead and give Haith coach of the year now.

Yeah but we have been good this year at in-game adjustments. If our 3's aren't hitting we work the ball inside. I will give Haith a lot of credit for that. He is good at reading the team during the game and making the adjustments to keep us in the game. The only bad loss we have had so far this year was KSU. Our loss to OSU was a winnable game where we brainfarted and OSU's Nash just lit it up in the last 6 minutes.

MU was 14 for 28 from the 3pt line. Not gonna lose many games shooting it that well, especially after starting 2-9 from 3.


MU had to shoot it well today as Baylor made an effort to keep them out of the lane and it's tough to score in there with that length.

Good win for the Tigers.

Well...I don't think the recruits are picking them based on whether or not they beat KU/Mizzou.

When Flip Pressy is hitting 3's you know it's going to be a good day for the team behind the arc.

Okay, I've been listening to that from Kansas fans and it's annoying the hell out of me.

"Oh, well we dominated them except for 3 minutes at the end of the game..."

With 6 minutes left, Mizzou trailed by one. It's not like KU was kicking the hell out of MU at the 34 minute mark or anything - the game was tied.

Nobody dominated anybody; it was a game of runs. Kansas had a couple, Mizzou had a couple. Yeah, Kansas was up 8 with 3 minutes left because they had just finished their 3 minute run...fortunately we had one more minute 3 minute run of our own.

Just so much sour grapes last week. **** 'em all.

I don't either, something fishy going on when that many top recruits go to a place like Baylor.

KU dominated that game so much they trailed at the end of the 1st half and at the end of the game. TOTAL DOMINATION!!!

Might be in the minority as a KU fan but I though the MU KU game was pretty even save for 2 or 3 runs by each team.


It was a great college basketball game. I dunno why KU fans have to demean it with some of the bullshit, but it is what it is I guess.

And an MU fan told me "it was great to beat KU's A game with MU's B game".... it goes both ways.

I agree. Neither team ran away with anything. And KU fans are that way because the MU game doesn't mean anythng, ya know?

IMO both teams played about as well as they possibly could.

That's exactly what it was.

For 5 minutes spurts, they would trade blows. Then KU would have a run that made it look like they were going to hide...and Mizzou would answer back to tie it.

The only thing that made it look like KU was dominating was that KU tended to have the first run, then Mizzou would answer back. Then the two teams would trade punches for another 5 minutes, rinse and repeat. Mizzou had that one first-strike run where they got up about 6, then KU answered.

But no, I've been advised that Mizzou only played well for 2 minutes at the end of the 1st and 3 minutes at the end of the 2nd.

Like I said - **** 'em.

Keitzman is a K-State guy, just fyi.

The KU-MU game came down to one thing....player composure. KU didn't maitain their composure and MU never lost theirs. That's really the difference in the game.

It should be a good game in AFH as well.


Like I said earlier, I just hope neither team ****s up and loses some petty game before they meet.

:hmmm: Crap, he stole that one straight out of the KU excuse handbook. "But, but, but they brought thier A++++ game!!!"

As an MU fan, I felt Mizzou could play a little better (they did against Baylor in Waco).

And having only watched a couple KU games this year, I felt KU absolutely maxed what they were capable of...then I saw Whithey dominate Baylor.

So in the end, I think both teams are capable of playing better than that, but not a hell of a lot. If Whithey plays like he did against Baylor, it will probably come at the expense of some of Robinson's offense.

I could be wrong, but I think we saw both squad's A games, that was what made that game so good. Those they both played great and it lived up to the hype.

"Every team that plays us is playing in their Super Bowl"

Missouri jacks a lot of 3's, but when checking out where they rank in association with the rest of the country, I found that they're only 96th in the NCAA in 3PA/FGA. There are a lot of teams out there that really focus their offense on the 3 ball.

MU is 2nd in the B12 in the category, though, well behind ISU.

I dunno, that might require leaving the high road for a minute.

Most of the time...but he spent most of this week sucking off Kansas on the radio.

DJ, I think KU could have shot the ball a little better and Robinson didn't do much in the first half.

I don't think either of the Presseys played well at all.

All in all it was just a great college basketball game. As was the Duke Carolina game. It doesn't have to be one team choked or one team dominated.

KU missed some free throws late and turned it over and MU capitalized. MU won a conference game at home, which they had to do to stay in the race. It was a great game to watch, and was well played.

I was impressed at how both teams played. It never got chippy, I thought teams were respectful.

I'm hoping for a great game in AFH, which I think I'm gonna break down and go too.

"We are a football school." /MU

Well he is just basing his points on past history, 7 in a row ya know? Hard to argue with it.

DeMarreCarroll1 DeMarre Carroll
S/o to them MIZZOU homies for takin care of business today.. #MIZ #MIZZOU

Nah, it was more than that. kk basically said there was no need to play the rest of the conference season...just give the trophy to Kansas and be done with it.

He cheers for KSU and against MU. The only reason he talked up KU was to put down Mizzou.

As I stated last night, Keitzmann is a moron.

Really? That's what you brought to the table? There are millions of words in the English language, you have no character limit, and the board has incredibly lax language restrictions, and THAT'S what you came up with?


Boooooooooooooooooo...

I am sure on Monday he will not say much on the Mizzou game. He will just focus on ku and ksu.

Nope - we're just not a basketball school.

You fellas keep screwing that up. "Basketball School" = school that doesn't have a football program to speak of. "Football School" = a handful of power schools that have been winning championships for 70 years.

Mizzou's just a very very strong athletics school. We're good at basketball, we're good at football. We're not routinely great at either of them, but we have our moments. And even when you start to get to stuff like baseball, wrestling, softball, etc...; we're quite good in all of those as well.

Nah, we don't claim to be a football a school - just a school that gets to look forward to football season.

But hey - "wait 'till basketball", right?

Why so defensive? I wanted to play the quote game too...

Relax...I just mumbled 5 words. No need to throw a fit.

You have a strange definition of 'fit'.

I type fast, chief. Don't worry - it really didn't take that much effort.

Nice win. Glad to see Mizzou finish them off unlike last time when we had them down by 10 with 2 minutes to play and ended up winning by 1.

:good:...

Wow... KSU once led by 14. Down 9 now with 1:41 to go

When does ISU come to Mizzou?

Okay, so I'm watching this KU game and I have a thought:

Would it be worth playing some 4-corners basketball early against Kansas? Think about that game we played at home against Tech. Mizzou was never really at risk of losing that game, but the pace was so slow and so methodical that it just took the crowd right out of it.

MU's biggest hurdle in that game will obviously be the crowd. Well if we go out there and take quick shots and we're off, we could be down 12-4 early and suddenly AFH will be insane. However, if we can take some air out of the ball and after 3 or 4 minutes the score is something like 8-4; does that take enough energy out of the crowd to start trying to pick up the pace?

The early energy that KU gets from that crowd is second to none, if slowing it up a bit allows us to weather the storm, I actually think Mizzou can pull it off.

Then again, we could go out there and play like we did against KSU and lose by 20. Hard to say...

17 page phag.net thread on the Mizzou/Baylor game.

http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=172&f=2481&t=8692627&p=1

ku fans clearly don't give a damn about Mizzou.

I wonder how many MU fans are surfing phag.net?

Well that's ok because I sure as hell don't give a damn about Kansas.

I actually really like that idea except we play horribly when stalling.

Not sure. Why do ku fans have a 17 page thread on their board about the Mizzou game? That is creepy.

It all depends on the start DJ. Thats a pretty good idea tho. It really all boils down to this.

If Mu can make shots the first 4 minutes and get to the first tv to close or with a lead it will be a good game. I think the crowd for that game will be nuts no matter what tho.

If MU can shoot the ball well it will be a game. Thats really all you want to do on the road. Keep it close until the last 2 or 3 minutes and you have a chance.

Crazy things happen in AFH tho. It's definitely gonna be a crazy environment.

If Mu doesn't shoot the ball well it could be a KSU situation. If they shoot it well liek they did in the second half today it will be a ballgame.

I don't know.

I don't go to phag.net. Maybe you could fill us in?

Yeah, why would anyone want to watch a top 10 matchup against 2 of the top 3 teams in the Big 12 conference... JFC, books could be written on the inferiority complex in these threads.

I don't either. It was posted on a Mizzou board and then everyone laughed about how obsessed ku is with Mizzou.

Irony.

LMAO

Okay - so start Dixon over MPressey.

I know it's unconventional, but it seems like our biggest problem when we stall is that Flip will get down to about 10 seconds on the shot clock, remember that he's not a jump-shooter, then do something stupid because Denmon and English aren't really likely to make their own shots in that situation.

So have Dixon and Pressey in the back-court and give Flip the ability to scan the floor and see if he can set something up. With about 10 seconds left on the clock, set a couple of picks to get Dixon the ball with a little bit of space and see what he can do with it.

Dixon's one of the best we've had in years at making something of nothing; he's a damn dangerous weapon to have in that regard. If we use him as something of a safety valve in that situation, we might be able to get just a little extra out of him.

It can't go any worse than starting Matt Pressey does...dammit he's horrible.

Going to a KU message board just to see what they are saying about Mizzou is probably the same thing.

Never been there, but curious - was there a 17 pg Duke/UNC thread? If so - you win.

If not, could you fellas please stop with this "we don't give a !@#$ about Mizzou" crap?

It's not an inferiority complex - it's calling you guys out for being full of shit when you try to talk down on Mizzou as though they're unworthy of your time...right before you go spending your time on them.

SOMEONE caught onto that... :clap:

Maybe it's just me....but I want KU-MU to be the crowning game of this season, whether it is the game in AFH or the Big 12 Tournament title game.

I hate all things Jayhawk, but since this is our final Big 12 season I want this to be our most enjoyable by beating the Beakers on our own not hoping that someone knocks them off.

I might have an extra ticket to AFH for the MU game.


Anyone interested?

Price?!

Depends. I'm not for sure if I have one yet.


Dad is a Tiger fan and isn't keen on going into AFH as he refuses to not wear MU garb.

It will cost a little.

Screw it. Beat thier ass in the tourney on the way out of the Big Tex.

Let me know. I'm about 25 miles or so from Lawrence.

13 pages...
http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=172&f=2481&t=8683611

So, I'm sure the 4 extra pages is due to the obsession with MU, and not the importance of the game when it comes to the Big 12 conferenc race.

And I don't do the whole "we don't care about Mizzou"... and creating a thread on tigerboard about what Jayhawk fans are talking about, and crying here about it (not you, particularly) 2 minutes after Mizzou beats Baylor is some kind of odd complex, especially while you're mocking KU fans about obsessing over something.

I think your "brother" Wicked brings out most of these posts. He's the one that said all that stupid shit.

Anything that keeps them from protesting funerals is a good thing.

Protesting funerals?

Tennessee is pounding Florida in Gainesville.

Just another homicide in Missouri.

That's what KU fans do during football season.

We're all members of the Westboro Baptist Church, just like every Mizzou fan is a meth head.

Someone catch a stray bullet from Wyandotte?

Oh I saw something on the news about that Westboro church.


My wife's brother is in he national guard and had to go to Joplin when the tornado hit, supposedly that church was coming there to protest the military. Whats the deal with that?


What is their idea behind that?

Can't keep up with Missouri.

Leading the nation in stray bullets...again.

Congrats.

Watch it Tomahawk, I live in and love Missouri.

Prayers sent.

Let's be fair here - if Missouri could excommunicate St. Louis City, we'd cut our homicide rates in half.

And nobody in Missouri would miss it if we excommunicating St. Louis City. If you had a poll and didn't allow STL to vote, we'd be looking at 4-1 in favor of throwing STLC the hell out. There are some places in the county that are pretty slick, but City is an absolute shithole. It's like Detroit without the Big 3.

Meanwhile, if we got rid of Kansas' biggest population center, you'd be Wyoming with wheat.

Not understanding the problem here. It was an important game...I was watching it both for entertainment value and for the implications on KU. Why wouldn't other KU fans be watching it too?

I like St. Louis. What the **** are you talking about?

STL has the highest murder rate damn near in the country.
