KSU's length really bothered Moore and Rat.

Pete?

LMAO

T'was not I

LMAO

:deevee:

Good thing ranking wise is Georgetown lost and UK is losing. Bad thing is KU will pass us come time they release next week's rankings.

and it took an EXTRA official to **** MU tonight.

Coach of the Year!

That is assuming quite a bit there....

So far I would say he is in the running. Wouldn't you?

KU is going to rip A&M tomorrow night and let's be honest it's going to take a lot of luck to walk out of Lawrence with a win. I don't see that happening. It could but I wouldn't bet on it. Thing is KU will be up 2 games on us come Sunday. That is unless we pull out a win in Lawrence for the first time in forever.

I suppose we should just cancel the rest of the season then...no reason to go to Lawrence.......

Saturday's game is going to be incredibly tough...but giving up the whole season because of one loss is just asinine.

It is going to take a perfect storm to beat KU at their house. Hope we can do it but if they are smart and pound it down low we don't have an answer for it.

Unfortunately I am not going to get to watch it. Heading out for vacation. When we booked who would have thought this game would have had so much riding on it?

I swear every time Steve Moore got a foul tonight I thought he was going to cry.

Yeah he did. Though I thought on a couple they were pretty ticky-tack calls that weren't called consistently on either side all game.

WOW, Miss St up 13 on UK

Miss St is straight putting it to UK.

Man what a great player Steve Moore is. Great depth

MU players have no class.

I thought the same thing, but wasn't going to say it (especially in this thread...I hate the trolling BS)

Since I stopped in though, I did feel bad for English on the T call. The damn ball just bounced wrong on him. It was one they HAD to call, but there wasn't any intent to show up the Ref IMO

MU just didn't shoot it very well tonight. I was looking around on ESPN.


They were 8-28 from the 3 point line and shot 38 percent from the field. KSU is a really good defensive team but MU missed some open shots that they normally make.

As frustrating as some of the calls were, this pretty much sums it up. Mizzou went through long stretches where they could not hit the broad side of the barn, and KSU had one of their better shooting nights all year. A bad combination for sure.

I thought it was a pretty good officiated game. You are gonna have calls go both ways in a game like that.


KSU is really good defensively. They mucked it up against KU the same way, KU just made some shots.

MU missed shots that normally they likely make. Usually that doesn't happen at home but it did. MU needs to move on and just play Saturday.

KSU didn't look so terrible today, did they?

That, of course, is the difference that defense can make.

Miss St holding onto a 7 pt lead with just over 6 minutes left

.

You beat me to that post. The Qatz are not a bad shooting team. They hit a stretch where they struggled just holding onto the ball. And I really think it just shook the entire team. Even Rodney was struggling. Frank kind of shelled up and decided if they were going to lose it would be lose while playing hard nose defense, until the shots came back.

But a big road win like the one Saturday at BU can sustain a team for a few games.

But in this case, I think the Cats just present matchup problems for MU and Frank exploited the shit out of them.

Well, we earned that ass-kicking.

If you show up to a sold-out arena and that's the best defensive intensity you can muster for the first 25 minutes, you deserve to get run out of your own barn. And if the extent of your offensive strategy for the last 8 minutes of the game is to start launching 3s regardless of merit...well that's not likely to help you much either.

In all honesty, if this was the game they had planned for Saturday, they needed this loss. If they play like that against Kansas they'll lose by 30. That was an effort loss, IMO and was pretty much completely unacceptable for a team that had designs on a 1-seed and a conference title. Yeah, K-State's a nice defensive team, but 68 points should be enough to beat them.

Mizzou didn't play with any urgency until they got to the point that they had zero margin for error. Their lackluster effort through the first 25 made it impossible for them to weather the storm at the end when the shots weren't falling.

The entire 40 minutes matter, kids. Try to remember that on Saturday.

sold out? where was everyone?

Man, I didn't get to see much of the game, but in what I did see, the Cats looked good. KSU shot and passed the ball really well. Hats off to them.

Behind the bench? Isn't this rehashed weekly? Suite access.

Congrats to KSU . Missouri had an off night ...it happens.

KU can also make a lot of offenses look bad. Their defense is one of the best in the country. It was wrong to say that KSU was regressing or that they couldn't score. KSU's strength may be defense, but they're not abysmal offensively.

Yeah, that's what I saw. You'd think Scott Drew could have done much the same vs. MU with all the talented bigs they have, but of course, he's Scott Drew.

MU is going to get drilled on Saturday, and it will be a blow out from the beginning.

it was much more than the KU game. We were terrible for several.

Between this and the "Marcus Denmon is a garbage human being." I'd like you to expand on both. WTF makes you feel that way?

Agreed.

Mizzou's defense took K-State's normal game and made them look like 80 pt scorers. Against a good defense, they'd have still been in the mid-60s, though.

The games they were playing during that stretch of futility were games where they wouldn't have managed 60 even against a JuCo lineup.

KSU, you beat our asses twice. Solidly. Congrats.

We're a bad match-up for a lot of teams... you're a bad match-up for us.

They played all right in the game before it at UT (lost by 10, I believe, but it was very close late and they had control of the game throughout). When they lost to OU at home (can't remember when that was), though, that was bad.

Was that your opinion before tonight? I always love a good "if they keep playing like this..."

Not at all, the crowd tonight was nothing like it was on Feb. 5 (not to mention the fact that MU played a hell of a lot better that day too). Though I'm still hopeful that you'll see the real definition of that term on Saturday.

Shitty game but the Ecokats have our number. They basically focus intensely on all our weak points. Just have to tip your hat, move on, and hope we don't run into a team built like them in the tourney.

This obviously hurts our chance at winning the league outright but I still think we have a decent chance in the Phraud. Even if we lose that one too, we should still be a 2 seed - hopefully in the St. Louis region.

We are 25-3 and ranked #3 in the nation (at least for now). Hard for me to get too down about one loss.

I thought they were going to lose by 10 over at Allen Field house.

I think he meant to say that MU players have to go to class whereas they don't at KSU.

Has Pete forfeited the next 5 years of games on behalf of Missouri basketball already?

Why take the time to put up the white flag each and every time when you can just call your shot for a whole slew of games.

we never lead past 8:25 left in the game and were never closer than 4 after 6:25 left. We shot TERRIBLE the entire second half. That's not controlling the game.

Congrats Cats, well deserved victory.

1.) MU shot like shit
2.) MU played shitty defense
3.) Moore is a fying cry-baby
4.) The little black Ref didn't call 1 foul against KSU and kept on calling fouls on MU...It was so bad, my wife even saw it and for my wife to see it...that means it was pretty bad. I'm not saying that's what caused Mu to lose...(refer back to 1-3)...but that was aweful.
5.) Congrats KSU

Saul used to be a halfway decent guy a few years ago. He's nothing but a troll now. Ignore him.

I'll happily expand on this.

Dixon and Denmon are the two biggest shit talkers in the league.

Finally - the recognition i've deserved.

Enjoy - Pat Adams usually sticks to SEC games.

Your heading out west. KU will secure the #1 seed in the St. Louis bracket.

While I think Missouri is a good team, I think rely too much on the 3 pt shot. It didn't fall late in the 2nd half (like the KU game) and KSU grinded out the win.

We played BAD, missing free throws at home.....inexcusable

Maybe... it might not matter what KU does if MSU wins out. MSU would probably get the #1 in St. Louis, and even if KU wins out, they would get the #1 in Phoenix. In that case, I'd rather see Duke and MSU win out and take the 1s, and KU take the #2 in St. Louis.

Sounds like you are starting to be an MU fan! Welcome aboard.

What a choke job.

I don't think Mizzou will get out of the Sweet 16 if they hit any team that is taller than them.

Depressing loss. Good season, but other teams are catching up to them. KU will kill them at AFH, and I can see Mizzou losing their first round game in the Big 12 Tourney too.

Not a good time of year to have peaked and downslide. Very disappointed in the effort last night. The polls should drop them to around #8 in the rankings after getting swept by a mediocre KSU team that got swept by Oklahoma.

I'm pretty pissed off today, to say the least.

Some of you would make great "typical" Kansas fans.

No, not even close.

not basketball related... but here's a breakdown of the Uni Teaser utube video from maclin uploaded earlier today....

Try again.

my bad lol

MUregon!

Mizzoklahoma State!

Not sure if those are going to turn out so hot.

didn't you guys already rock yello jerseys?

Second place isn't bad MU.

Heh.

If the de-blurred is as bad as that I have wonder if the theme was "rejected Iowa unis?"

Are they going to switch to having the Tiger on the side of the helmet?

I think the "M" looks better.

EDIT*

Nevermind...guess that may be the Tiger on the helmet.

"On April 14, 2012, at the Black and Gold Spring Football Game, the Tigers will reveal the new uniform design from Nike. The change to the look will focus much more on the Tiger logo than the traditional “block M”."

http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2012/02/...ns-of-changes/

They should just stick with the flat black ones full time.

They were pretty badass.

http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images...jpg?1261730684

Well then. Lets back up the bus! Change everything.

Do you like the "M" or the Tiger logon better on the side of the helmet?

Tiger logo for me.

Isn't there already a few SEC teams with Tigers on their helmets?

No.

LSU has a small tiger logo under the letters LSU, but that would be the only team.

I agree. Those were my favorite unis of all.
