****Official Mizzou vs. Baylor Championship Game Thread****

[KcMizzou]

Let's go Tigers! :mizzou:

5:15pm ESPN

[luv]

I was just beginning to wonder where this was.

Woohoo, MIZZOU!

[DaFace]

whoo. Maybe I'll watch since I am bored out of my mind today.

[PastorMikH]

GO TIGERS!!!

[Skip Towne]

whoo. Maybe I'll watch since I am bored out of my mind today.

Me too. I'm going to go rotate my tires.

[Sure-Oz]

Go Mizzou...

[eazyb81]

LET'S DO THIS!!!

[Priest31kc]

Hurry up and start!!!

[eazyb81]

Will Carroll bounce back tonight? Can't believe he only scored 4 last night.

[Reaper16]

I want to see MU take under 20 three-point attempts tonight. Let's see some points in the paint.

[wild1]

Good luck Mizzou take home the title

[Sure-Oz]

Yes lets chuck up 3's

[Reaper16]

Is this going to be "one of those halves" again?

[kstater]

clank, clank, clank...

CLANK, clank, clank

[Reaper16]

Taylor bailing out the team again.

[Sure-Oz]

Taylor!

[007]

I love a good underdog. Go Bears.

[warrior]

Go Tigers!!!!!!

[Sure-Oz]

1 of 8 shooting

[Reaper16]

That was good, miraculously.

[Sure-Oz]

Just give it to Taylor who is coming up big in this tourney

[eazyb81]

Looks like Taylor is going to score some points again.

[Sure-Oz]

Wow talk about a lucky ass roll

[Reaper16]

MU looks more fatigued than I thought they'd look so far.

[eazyb81]

MU looks more fatigued than I thought they'd look so far.

You think so? I just think we're starting out slow, like usual.

[smittysbar]

Hope we don't die by the fucking three tonight

[smittysbar]

You think so? I just think we're starting out slow, like usual.

I agree

[Sure-Oz]

They just aren't hitting shots and there is hardly movement again on the offense

[PastorMikH]

They're pounding on Carrol inside.

[Reaper16]

You think so? I just think we're starting out slow, like usual.
Maybe their pacing themselves, but I'm not noticing a lot of movement so far, nor do I see much effort on rebounds.

[Sure-Oz]

Matt Lawrence knows defense

[PastorMikH]

You think so? I just think we're starting out slow, like usual.


Yep.

How often do we come out and take control of the game on the road in the first 5 min? Never.

[Reaper16]

That's just shitty luck.

[Sure-Oz]

Damnit

[Sure-Oz]

Go inside

[Sure-Oz]

Carroll with the jumper....where is his aggresiveness

[smittysbar]

Drive that fucker

[PastorMikH]

What's Leo supposed to do with the ball when he catches it after a made basket?

[Sure-Oz]

love the lack of aggressive offense again

[eazyb81]

Another f'n slow start. So annoying.

[eazyb81]

love the lack of aggressive offense again

We are absolutely awful against a zone.

[DrRyan]

Shooting way too many jumpshots. Getting killed on the boards early as well. They need to settle down, up the defensive pressure and take it to the rack and they will be fine.

[Reaper16]

We are absolutely awful against a zone.
MU's inability to hit an outside shot against a zone is going to doom them in the Big Dance.

[Priest31kc]

We are absolutely awful against a zone.

yes, we are. If Baylor is smart, they will play zone for 40 minutes.

[eazyb81]

MU's inability to hit an outside shot against a zone is going to doom them in the Big Dance.

No doubt. I just hope we can squeak out this win to win the tourney.

If we do that, I won't be too upset if we get bounced in the 2nd or 3rd round of the NCAA tourney.

[Go Mizzou & Chiefs]

MU's inability to hit an outside shot against a zone is going to doom them in the Big Dance.

yes it will! :cuss:

[Go Mizzou & Chiefs]

we can't make a fricken jumpshot!

[Sure-Oz]

Huge shot by English

[DrRyan]

I don't understand their inability to score against the 2-3 zone. It is not difficult. You have to flash someone to the high post in the middle of the zone or set screens on the baseline against the 2-3 zone.

[Sure-Oz]

Of course gaylor answers

[Reaper16]

lol Baylor really wants this game

[kstater]

MU's inability to hit an outside shot against a zone is going to doom them in the Big Dance.

Yup, pretty much all teams go to a zone for chunks of games during the tourney.

[Sure-Oz]

CLANG!

[Go Mizzou & Chiefs]

lol Baylor really wants this game

why wouldnt they?

[PastorMikH]

We'll really start clicking halfway through the second half.

[eazyb81]

Holly has 1000 grams of carbs an hour.

[Sure-Oz]

Shit i bet the baylor ladies could hit those jumpers for mizzou

[PastorMikH]

lol Baylor really wants this game




Question is do we?

[Go Mizzou & Chiefs]

Shit i bet the baylor ladies could hit those jumpers for mizzou

no doubt they're really good

[Reaper16]

Baylor are using their legs too early trying to expand on their lead...

[Sure-Oz]

I wonder if MA wants them to make them shoot the fastest free throws in college basketball too, man they suck at ft's

[Reaper16]

LMAO @ missile into the cheerleaders

[DrRyan]

For as bad as MU is playing, a four point deficit at this point is not that bad. They need to settle down, get some good looks in the paint and they will be fine.

[PastorMikH]

For as bad as we've looked and as good as Baylor is looking, we're pretty close score-wise

[Sure-Oz]

Bullshit foul imo

[DrRyan]

I wonder if MA wants them to make them shoot the fastest free throws in college basketball too, man they suck at ft's

Agreed. I worry that rebounding and free throw shooting will be the down fall of this team in the big dance.

[Sure-Oz]

Huge 3 by Paul

[DrRyan]

That was a DEEP three there. I still want to see them taking it to the basket.

[Sure-Oz]

English with a 3

good ball movement

[eazyb81]

KIMMMMMMMIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

[Reaper16]

I just hope they don't start to fall in love with the three after the past two possessions.

[DrRyan]

That is more like it. Much better ball movement now and they are getting better looks.

[Reaper16]

That is more like it. Much better ball movement now and they are getting better looks.
Yup. Movement is pretty key for this offense.

[Reaper16]

Jesus, that "Daytona Shrimp" from Hooters looks disgusting.

[Sure-Oz]

Hooters food is dogshit imo

[eazyb81]

I have a feeling we're going to blow their doors off in the 2nd half.

Baylor looks tiiiiiiired.

[eazyb81]

Hooters food is dogshit imo

You don't like their wings?

[Priest31kc]

English is getting his stroke back which is huge for us. And Miguel Paul is really getting better in this tourney. Good time to turn it on....

[Reaper16]

Hooters food is dogshit imo
Even Hooters' tits are dogshit lately.

[Reaper16]

FUCK YES that was sweet

[Reaper16]

FUCK NO that wasn't

[DrRyan]

I have a feeling we're going to blow their doors off in the 2nd half.

Baylor looks tiiiiiiired.

That would not surprise me. MU looking much much better than they did the first ten minutes of the game.

Very nice job filling the lane there for an easy layup.

[Sure-Oz]

You don't like their wings?

The wings are decent, but other food ive had including teh shrimp is gross

[Skip Towne]

I wonder if MA wants them to make them shoot the fastest free throws in college basketball too, man they suck at ft's

They aren't too whippy at FG's either. And they don't rebound. MU's game is a deep bench and pressure defense.

[PastorMikH]

Hooters food is dog[poo] imo


I've never been so I woudln't know myself. But from those I've talked to that have been, I've never heard anyone say they went because of the food.

[PastorMikH]

Never seen a fall back/down pass over your head to a team mate before.

[Sure-Oz]

WTF

[Sure-Oz]

Ok nevermind

[eazyb81]

CARROLL!!!

[Reaper16]

Carroll doing what he's good at, finally.

[Sure-Oz]

Yes and 1 ft to miss

[DrRyan]

Tiller is the shit. I love watching MU when he is leading the defensive intensity.

[Sure-Oz]

lmao fucking a

[Reaper16]

That was a brilliant shot. Damn.

[DrRyan]

You have to be kidding that shot fell. Wow!

[petegz28]

what lucky bullshit!

[Reaper16]

Are you ready for the MAX?

[Sure-Oz]

I didn't know jared went to bosley

[kstater]

what lucky bullshit!

The gall of the guy to shoot it and be lucky enough it goes in. You never see any Baylor player make a shot.

[eazyb81]

Tiller is the shit. I love watching MU when he is leading the defensive intensity.

Taylor and Tiller as seniors next year are going to be nasty good.

[eazyb81]

LaceDarius is the most ridiculous name ever.

[Sure-Oz]

thank you for hitting the fts

[Reaper16]

Christ.

[Sure-Oz]

Thats more like it Carroll

[eazyb81]

Nice to see us hitting our FTs.

[Reaper16]

DeMarre with the hot streak!

[DrRyan]

Again with the clock winding down. I credit Baylor for hitting some tough shots, but I don't expect them to keep that up all game.

[Reaper16]

Tie game coming up...

[Sure-Oz]

Wow swiss cheese on the inside

[Reaper16]

A pleasant answer.

[Sure-Oz]

Lawrence!

[kstater]

What a lucky bullshit shot by Lawrence.

[Sure-Oz]

You always need a shooter, esp in a MA offense

[Sure-Oz]

Shitty pass

[eazyb81]

What a lucky bullshit shot by Lawrence.

yeah normally he's really shitty at 3's......moron

[Reaper16]

3 fouls on Rogers? Sweet.

[Sure-Oz]

Keep hacking us baylor

[eazyb81]

Yes, 3 on Rogers.

[Molitoth]

MU could use a player that can actually drive to the basket.

[eazyb81]

D IT UP!!!!

[DrRyan]

Awful clock management by Baylor there.

[Molitoth]

What a sloppy first half by both teams.
Posted via Mobile Device

[Sure-Oz]

Lyons chucking it up with 3 seconds left

MU up 4, and i didn't even think they played that good

[petegz28]

The gall of the guy to shoot it and be lucky enough it goes in. You never see any Baylor player make a shot.

dude shut the fuck up already

[eazyb81]

Good 1st half.

Hopefully we'll pull away in the 2nd.

[DrRyan]

And we let loose a 3/4 court length shot with the 3+ seconds left on the clock before half.

[KcMizzou]

If I never hear "tailgating a tailgater" again, it'll be too soon.

[Reaper16]

Prediction: MU's pressure eats Baylor alive in the second half, Mizzou goes on to win by 10-12 points.

[KcMizzou]

Prediction: MU's pressure eats Baylor alive in the second half, Mizzou goes on to win by 10-12 points.Yep. That's Mizzou's M.O.

[Molitoth]

Let's hope so.

My point
-------



Your head





Anywho, good game. Bout like I expected, hope Mizzou can come out and dominate and win in the 2nd.

[Reaper16]

My point
-------



Your head

Your point was dumb to begin with. The Baylor player who hit that three was pretty lucky. Clock was expiring, he was defended, and he hit it falling away. Compare that to the Matt Lawrence three, where Lawrence was open as all get-out.

[petegz28]

He knew that...he just can't help himself from being a prick.

[Sure-Oz]

I think K-Stater was being silly

[Skip Towne]

I think K-Stater was being silly

He was poking at you for calling Baylor's shot lucky.

[kstater]

I think K-Stater was being silly

The Lawrence comment was. But the Baylor player came off a screen and had time to set his feet, it wasn't that lucky of a shot. Yes it was contested, but it was a good shot.

[Sure-Oz]

He was poking at you for calling Baylor's shot lucky.

im sad

"Ride the Tiger! You can see his stripes and you know he's clean!"

[eazyb81]

Crank up the heat!!!!

[Sure-Oz]

Why does damare foul all the time after a steal

[kstater]

Why does damare foul all the time after a steal

Cuz dats wut thugs do yo. ;)

[DrRyan]

In Carroll's defense, the foul after the steal in the first half likely stopped easy fast break points for Baylor. That foul I would blame on the god awful pass.

[Sure-Oz]

Cuz dats wut thugs do yo. ;)

He's not a thug, he's a junkyard dawg:D

[Molitoth]

Gotta use them fouls up, it was a smart foul or else the guy was on a fastbreak.

Nice shot Leo

[Sure-Oz]

Carroll just ripping at the ball like a bone

[Sure-Oz]

LUCKY FUCKING 31111111111111111

[Sure-Oz]

MATT LAWRENCE WITH A LUCKY ASS THR33!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reaper16]

Tiller's back in. Shit's about to go down.

[petegz28]

Come on guys....stop the stupid shots

[Sure-Oz]

apparently shit is going down damnit

[Reaper16]

This Baylor run is not fun to watch.

[petegz28]

This Baylor run is not fun to watch.

They are about to cut what was an 11 pt lead to 4......this makes me not happy.

[beer bacon]

Seven fouls on MU and none on Baylor this half. Bull fucking shit.

[KChiefs1]

Baylor has some fight left in them....

[beer bacon]

I hate every sports team in Texas. Fuck that state and their crooked fucking refs.

[petegz28]

Seven fouls on MU and none on Baylor this half. Bull ****ing shit.

I wasn't going to say anything about that.....

[petegz28]

Ok show the game..I can care less about the butch-blonde

[KcMizzou]

I'm sick of hearing about the damn Baylor women's coach already.

[PastorMikH]

I'd really rather watch the game than to hear this interview

[petegz28]

Wow, that is the first time they called that travel..they been letting Baylor do that all game

[petegz28]

Is there a reason I have to see their coach while the game is going?

[Crush]

fuck Baylor.

[Crush]

YES!!!

[KcMizzou]

Money.

I love Carroll.

[PastorMikH]

I sure wish these announcers would do their job AND TALK ABOUT THE GAME INSTEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE!!!

[Reaper16]

Taylor is (and I hate to use this word) clutch.

[Crush]

woooooo

[beer bacon]

I sure wish these announcers would do their job AND TALK ABOUT THE GAME INSTEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE!!!

I feel like I am listening to 810 AM radio.

[KcMizzou]

Taylor is (and I hate to use this word) clutch.
Absolutely.

[eazyb81]

WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!!

[petegz28]

I sure wish these announcers would do their job AND TALK ABOUT THE GAME INSTEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE!!!

They have been sucking Baylor dick all game long. And witht he women's coach there they been combing her muff as well.

[KcMizzou]

I feel like I am listening to 810 AM radio.At least they haven't mentioned their golf game... yet.

[eazyb81]

Taylor is (and I hate to use this word) clutch.

and he's just a junior.

Tiller and Taylor are going to be siiiiiiick next year.

[Crush]

:cuss:

[petegz28]

Where was the call on that?

[Reaper16]

Carroll's had quite the rebound from last night's 4 point effort.

[Sure-Oz]

Lovin it! i need to stay chill like kcmizzou in the 1st halfs hehe

[tk13]

Baylor's looking fatigued.

[PastorMikH]

Lovin it! i need to stay chill like kcmizzou in the 1st halfs hehe


I've learned that we can be down 20 points and still get back into the game in the second half.


(We can also be up by 20 and let the other team back in though :banghead:)

[KcMizzou]

Lovin it! i need to stay chill like kcmizzou in the 1st halfs hehe:)

It's just how they play... wear 'em out. Esp. in a setting like this.

Not that I don't also get frustrated when they can't buy a shot.

[Sure-Oz]

:)

It is true...i guess im so used to mizzou teams of the past few years

[eazyb81]

6 minutes......step on their throat and finish this.

[DrRyan]

Nice shot by Lyons. 15 points and under 6 minutes may be all she wrote.

[Sure-Oz]

I've learned that we can be down 20 points and still get back into the game in the second half.


(We can also be up by 20 and let the other team back in though :banghead:)

lol, i hear ya...mizzou just plays tons better in the 2nd half, its like the tv guys saying a 20 point lead vs mizzou is really like a 12 point lead

[PastorMikH]

Looking easier for the BEARS???? OUR GUY MADE THAT SHOT!!!


Do these guys know who's who? They've got such passion for Baylor they are confusing them with the Tigers.

[Molitoth]

Uhhhhhhggggg

What???

[Sure-Oz]

LMFAO Tiller just drills every crazy layup

[petegz28]

way to fight under the basket for the rebound...the refs were not going to call Baylor for the hacks, that much was obvious

[Reaper16]

That was pretty sweet.

[Sure-Oz]

YES!!!!!!!!

[petegz28]

Good play Lyons

[PastorMikH]

way to fight under the basket for the rebound...the refs were not going to call Baylor for the hacks, that much was obvious



They've been hammering Carrol inside all night and not getting noticed for it.

[BWillie]

Ovah...good job tiggers. Hope to see you in the final four or something.

[Sure-Oz]

Hell fucking yes

[PastorMikH]

Tiller's getting my vote for player of the game at this point - he hasn't scored a lot, but he's made some big buckets when we really need them to get us running again.

[Sure-Oz]

Still coaching

[Bearcat]

Congratulations.

[Sure-Oz]

Nice win Tiggers. For a tournament that doesn't matter of course.
