Far too much has been made of the TRob charge. As others have pointed out, it didn't really matter to the outcome of the game. Thompson fell apart at the end and MU capitalized. Ballgame.

The return trip to Lawrence will be a classic I'm sure.

These games are what make college hoops great. Savor them while we still can.

Tough game on the road again tonight. Hope the Tigers can respond after that game Saturday night

Thompson?

He's right. Thompson didn't do shit down the stretch. Really, he was invisible all night.

I'll concede that.

He still got called for 2 charges, though.

Ohio State's bad loss isn't as bad as Mizzou's, and OSU has played 6 games vs top 25 teams (4-2) while MU has played 3 (2-1)... and in that bracket, the 2 is also getting shipped out west while Baylor goes east, and the 3 is UNLV, so they aren't exactly screwed in that situation.

And speaking of Ohio State, is it illegal in the Big 10 to move when you don't have the ball? I gave up on OSU/Wisconsin after watching about 5 minutes late in the 2nd half. One guy dribbles around the 3pt line, stops, passes. That guy dribbles a few steps, stops, passes. Everyone else just stands there until they get the ball or someone shoots.

Meanwhile KU plays in St. Louis.

It's always been like that (well, each year is a little different, of course, but it's happened many times)... the last #1 seed is the one that gets shipped across the country, while the first #2 seed stays in region. KU was the #1 in San Jose the year UCLA was #2, and UCLA won the region by beating KU.

Given the same situation, at least there's not a west coast team that's even arguably a #2. Of course, it's better for the fans to play in Omaha and then St. Louis, but I doubt they would get out of that region.

That was the worst.

ku should not be the first 2 seed though. They were ranked #8 before the game, they will drop at least a couple of spots in the new poll, and they now have 5 losses. One could argue they are much closer to the last 2 seed than the first.

They actually moved up to 7 in the AP.

I have it on good authority that KU outplayed Mizzou the entire game and will be rewarded by moving up in the standings while Mizzou drops a couple of spots.
