Denmon named second team All-American.

It was one of the funnest games I have ever attended. I went to get a pretzel about eight minutes before tip-off, and the arena was about 70% full. I got back right before the game started, and the arena was completely full. The crowd was into it the whole game, and energy was awesome.

There was a group of beakers right behind me, and one guy was a loudmouth cheering for Baylor/against Mizzou. He and the rest of his group got mad and left halfway through the second half. Seeing us extend the lead, with Moore's dunk the cherry on top was phenomenal.

I haven't had a sports experience like that since the 2007 MU-KU Arrowhead game.

Meh. There was a group of Mizzou fans behind us cheering for Baylor on Friday night like that. We all have our idiots.

The KU fans wearing Jayhawks gear and cheering against Mizzou was the lamest thing ever. Who does that?

If you want to cheer against your rival, go for it. Wearing KU gear to a Baylor/Mizzou game is hilariously pathetic. Thanking them for visiting Missouri while they left early was one of my favorite things about winning that game.

Mizzou was still in the tournament, though.

There were three groups of KU fans in my section. They were all fine, except the one loudmouth. It was still nice to see them tuck tail and leave before the game was over.

I bought my tickets for $40 each from a couple decked out in KU gear. They were pretty cool, though.

Yeah, I don't get it... I'll see MU fans do the same thing during the tournament when KU is playing, and I saw it at the ACC tournament one year when UNC fans were rooting for FSU when they played Duke in the championship game.

I understand people pulling for the team playing your rival, and if I was in Omaha for the KU games this weekend, I'd expect to see some light-hearted cheering/jeering from both sides... but, I've seen MU fans sitting at BWW cheering for UNI or VCU like it's the most important game ever, and then cheer KU fans out the door.... uh, congrats?

And yeah, I wouldn't show up after my team was eliminated just root for a rival... that's dumb.

Doing it at a bar isn't that big of a deal to me, especially if you aren't wearing your own team's gear. Even then its lame, but it's not awful. Somehow, wearing your team's gear to the game to root against your rival after you've been knocked out is WAY worse.

I am a KU guy and have seen it from MU folks my entire life, and to be fair more than a few KU fans as well. I just never looked at things that way. I have always wanted MU to beat everyone else BUT KU. If KU beat Mizzou twice in the regualr season, then in the Big 12 tournament and then for the National Championship and they were perfect agaisnt the rest of the country... that would be perfect. That and I am an old Big 8 guy and want the teams from TX to always fall short agains the old big 8. But I will most like pull for Baylor in the NCAA.

Yeah, they were wearing MU gear, and they were obviously there to watch KU. At least the KU fans who showed up Saturday already had tickets and were going to a top 10 (er, 11) matchup... I doubt many bought tickets after KU lost just so they could root against MU (it's possible, and it would have obviously been incredibly lame).

OTOH, WTF wants to watch KU play VCU, besides KU and VCU fans? If you just happen to be at a bar, blah blah... but, come on. I'll watch MU's tournament games for the same reason as any other... for the entertainment. I'll watch MU/Florida, but I'm not going to watch them grind it out with some mid-major... I have a hard enough time watching Kansas do that.

I have no problem with people cheering against their rival heck I do it all the time. But if MU lost the night before I sure in hell wouldn't show up at a game the next day cheering against my rival to lose. That is ****ing pathetic I don't care what side that happens on.

In general, I hardly ever root against other teams... it's not a high road stance or anything, it's just not why I watch sports. The only exception is if it benefits a team I root for, like when the Chiefs needed the 49ers to beat the Broncos to get into the playoffs.

But, oddly enough, I enjoy watching the Red Wings and Canucks lose far more than any other team in any other sport... I'm not a "root for your conference" kind of person (even though it would be cool to watch ISU or KSU win 2 games this weekend), but I'm not going to go out of my way to watch them fail.

I truly wanted to meet KU in the B12 tourney championship, but as I was watching them play Baylor Fri on tv, I couldn't help rooting against them. I think meeting them in the NC game would be the sports highlight of the decade so really hope we both make it, but it is seriously hard for me to watch them play and root for them to win.
