****Official Mizzou vs. UConn Elite Eight Thread****

[KcMizzou]

Wow, I haven't watched Mizzou all season.... they really are a fun team to watch.... do they keep this tempo up for the whole 2nd half too?Absolutely.

[Mecca]

How many steps before a travel is called? You don't get more steps the closer you are to the basket right?

Actually you can take 2 steps and go up when you're going to the basket as opposed to be in the middle of the floor.

[Dartgod]

Wow, I haven't watched Mizzou all season.... they really are a fun team to watch.... do they keep this tempo up for the whole 2nd half too?
Yes.

[Sure-Oz]

2nd half is usually their best, we'll need it

[Sure-Oz]

All i know is that this team is amazingly prepared compared to the past MU teams that would fold. It seems they just keep getting better and tougher

[PastorMikH]

How many steps before a travel is called? You don't get more steps the closer you are to the basket right?


A big 12 team in the tourney - 1

A east coast team in the tourney - as many as needed (Unless a travel call can divert a personal foul)

[Molitoth]

If only they had a little luck on their side....

[DrRyan]

Thabeet on the Naismith watch, give me a break. Blair from Pitt man handled him both times they played.

[KcMizzou]

UConn shot 70% in the first half, and we're within 6.

[Molitoth]

UConn shot 70% in the first half, and we're within 6.

That sounds nice, but the downside is most of those shots came from right under the basket...

[Sure-Oz]

UConn shot 70% in the first half, and we're within 6.

Amazing, considering also how cold we shot to start off....

[Molitoth]

Uconn has the coolest jerseys.

[Frazod]

That sounds nice, but the downside is most of those shots came from right under the basket...

Yeah. Damn those guys are big.

[WilliamTheIrish]

UConn needs to crash the offensive glass? JFC Davis they only missed 8 shots. Sometimes I wonder what game Seth Davis is watching.

[Pants]

How many steps before a travel is called? You don't get more steps the closer you are to the basket right?

How many times does a mizury player have to slap a Uconn's players arms or bump into him before a foul gets called? You don't get more if you're mizury, right?

[WilliamTheIrish]

Uconn has the coolest jerseys.

I like 'em too. Understated, yet dignified.

[Molitoth]

SEASON TICKETS! KCCHIEFS.com!!!

[KcMizzou]

How many times does a mizury player have to slap a Uconn's players arms or bump into him before a foul gets called? You don't get more if you're mizury, right?I know you're trolling, but I kind of agree with you. If they call everything, every little ticky tack foul... Mizzou's doomed. Reaching, poking and disrupting is our game. And you can't have it both ways.

"Let 'em play." Benefits Mizzou.

[Molitoth]

I know you're trolling, but I kind of agree with you. If they call everything, every little ticky tack foul... Mizzou's doomed. Reaching, poking and disrupting is our game. And you can't have it both ways.

"Let 'em play." Benefits Mizzou.

I agree... if MU comes up with a win today... its a only a matter of time when the refs are not "let 'em play" type of refs.

[Molitoth]

Wow missed call on Thabeet

[petegz28]

No over the back???

[petegz28]

And then they call us on a foul.....nice

[Molitoth]

No over the back???

nope, and that was big.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Good Hustle by Tiller...

[PastorMikH]

Over the back not called, Carroll had hands on the ball, it should have been a jump, but no, it's a foul.


Talked to dad at half, he commented that none of the Big 12 teams are getting calls. It was his opinion that the refs hindered KU last night.

[Molitoth]

fuck you lawrence.

[PastorMikH]

"Let 'em play." Benefits Mizzou.



Yes, but be consistent both ways.

[Molitoth]

NOTHING will fall.... =(

[WilliamTheIrish]

Walker... holy f...

[jjjayb]

These boys just can't make shots.

[Mecca]

Nothing is going to matter if they keep shooting like that...

[Molitoth]

wow this is making me sad.

[WilliamTheIrish]

UConn dominating the glass. Where.. tough..

[Dartgod]

Nice.

[Molitoth]

I would bring in English and hope he can save us.

[WilliamTheIrish]

There ya go Leo..

[Molitoth]

Of course Lyons cant hit a free throw.

[Dartgod]

Fucking free throws.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Need some good minutes from Saff. He'll be a key in this next 5 or 6 minutes..

[petegz28]

well, this is where it gets painfull

[jjjayb]

Missing free throws isn't helping.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Great sequence..

[Molitoth]

NO MORE LAWRENCE!!!! TAKE HIM OUT FFS

[Dartgod]

Damn, get Lawrence out of there.

[-King-]

What the hell...the commentator cant count. Dead serious.

[petegz28]

WTF....no foul on the shot by Lawrence? What the fuck ever

[Mecca]

And here's where UConn decides if Missouri can bump them around they'll do it right back as Austrie threw himself at Lawrence.

[DrRyan]

Enberg is getting old and the senility is showing. "Down by only four" as the score shows 49-44 and calling it a three when the MU player was at least two feet inside the three point line in the first half.

[jjjayb]

NO MORE LAWRENCE!!!! TAKE HIM OUT FFS

Agreed. He keeps shooting like he's on a hot streak....but he's not. He isn't making shit.

[Molitoth]

ENGLISH > LAWRENCE

[dirk digler]

Just tuned in and Damn this is alot closer than what I thought it would be.

[PastorMikH]

What the hell...the commentator cant count. Dead serious.


Yeah, Missouri's within 6 - 42-49 LMAO

[DrRyan]

How many times does a mizury player have to slap a Uconn's players arms or bump into him before a foul gets called? You don't get more if you're mizury, right?

Keep being bitter about the loss last night. It is very endearing.

[KcMizzou]

ENGLISH > LAWRENCEEnglish may have a bad wheel, though.

[Dartgod]

I see her camel toe.

[KCFalcon59]

nice beaver shot.

[-King-]

LMFAO! GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE

[Molitoth]

nice, throw him.

[dirk digler]

The fact this is a low scoring doesn't bode well for MU

[Molitoth]

damnit, such bad luck today.

[WilliamTheIrish]

3 on Thabeet

[Molitoth]

ON Thabeet! YES.

[DeezNutz]

Enberg is just dumb as fuck.

[-King-]

Damn Thabeet is hurt. Cant say Im happy...but..

[petegz28]

God damn, do these announcers just love the taste of Thebeet's cock?

[wild1]

Thabeet shaves his legs

[-King-]

Enberg is just dumb as ****.

Yes he is.

[dirk digler]

what a shot

[DeezNutz]

Huge.

[-King-]

SAFFORD CAME TO PLAYY!!!!!!

[Molitoth]

Safford stepping it UP!

[WilliamTheIrish]

Saff's the man ..

[eazyb81]

SAFFORD!!!!

[PastorMikH]

Nice move Safford!

[Molitoth]

Nice,

[WilliamTheIrish]

Mo ball..

[DeezNutz]

Little mojo working here.

[DrRyan]

Way to finish tough Safford. Make your ****ing FTs though!!

[-King-]

Safford!!

[WilliamTheIrish]

Saff again?

[dirk digler]

holy shit

[Molitoth]

HERE WE GO BABY!

[-King-]

YESSS!!! LETS GOO MIZZOU!~!!!!!!!

[Dartgod]

Let's take the lead!

[PastorMikH]

Of course they're going to call that to Missouri - it was CLEARLY off of UCON Mr Announcer.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Ramsey..

[dirk digler]

stupid fucking shot

[-King-]

Why did he shoot that three?

[Dartgod]

AIR BALL!

[WilliamTheIrish]

air..

[DeezNutz]

UConn completely out of whack right now.

[-King-]

Uconn is tired!! We need to take advantage

[PastorMikH]

Denmon must have been too close to the basket.

[wild1]

haha. not only does he get the airball but no sooner than it hit the floor his sub was jumping up

[kstater]

That wasn't a very good shot.

[KCFalcon59]

Missouri has some nice looking cheerleaders. Shouldn't they go to the Chiefs when they graduate?????

[dirk digler]

YES

[-King-]

LETS GOOO!!!!

[PastorMikH]

Uconn is tired!! We need to take advantage


Yep. 'Bout time for a 10 minute commercial TO.

[wild1]

Safford > Stafford

[-King-]

LMFAOOO ENBERG WAS ABOUT TO SAY PATRICK RAMSEY

[DeezNutz]

Smart foul.

[Dartgod]

Mizzou signed Patrick Ramsey. ROFL

[Molitoth]

WHAT?

[-King-]

Another airball!! These guys are done!! Unless they call a timeout!

[dirk digler]

Uconn's legs are dying

[PastorMikH]

Whenever we struggle against a team, it seems the right around the 12 minute mark is where we really start coming through.

[007]

Something tells me we are going to see a lot of clock stoppage until UConn gets their legs back.

[Molitoth]

damn that was a nice block.

[WilliamTheIrish]

wHAT A BLOCK..

[Dartgod]

They gave that to us? LOL

[Mecca]

When a ball goes half down like that and comes out on a 3, that's just not your day.

[Molitoth]

fuck ya!

[DeezNutz]

Wow.

[-King-]

RAMSEY!!

[kcxiv]

Damn that 3 was in.

[Dartgod]

SWEET!

[Crush]

FUCK YEAH!!!!!

[jjjayb]

suweet

[PastorMikH]

YES!

[wild1]

jaaaammmm.... ohhhhh jammmmm... jaaamm jaaaaamm....

[Ultra Peanut]

OH, BABY!

OH, BABY!

[kcxiv]

i really like Missouri's jerseys.

[Molitoth]

and the board gets busy....

[eazyb81]

Wow....I need to catch my breath.

[Dartgod]

Wow. We're hanging right with the best team in the country. Inconceivable!

[Molitoth]

i really like Missouri's jerseys.

I dig the black ones... but not so much the others.

[PastorMikH]

Here's that 10 minute free timeout UCONN was looking for.

[eazyb81]

Holy Shit, this game looks like it might go down to the wire.

[kcxiv]

I dig the black ones... but not so much the others.

I would wear any of them jersey's. Not a big college guy, that i think that looks slick.

[luv]

I'm so nervous! I'm afraid I'll jinx them either way.

[kstater]

Here's that 10 minute free timeout UCONN was looking for.

Yup, Calhoun called in a favor with the refs. This wasn't planned or anything. They never have these timeouts in any other game ever played.

[Priest31kc]

AWESOME GAME!!!! My heart hurts.

[PastorMikH]

i really like Missouri's jerseys.


I'm warming back up to the Gold. Watching Quin lose too many games with them and was thinking they were jinxed or something.

[eazyb81]

Great things is we've made this run with Carroll and Lyons on the bench.

[Captain Obvious]

Been a long time since I've been this nervous during a basketball game. Win or lose, this has been awesome.

[KcMizzou]

I'm so nervous! I'm afraid I'll jinx them either way.LMAO Likewise.

[Dartgod]

I'm so nervous! I'm afraid I'll jinx them either way.
Tell me about it!

M-I-Z!!

[luv]

I dig the black ones... but not so much the others.

I kinda like the ones they've got on today.

[KcMizzou]

Great things is we've made this run with Carroll and Lyons on the bench.Makes the future seem bright, too.

[PastorMikH]

Yup, Calhoun called in a favor with the refs. This wasn't planned or anything. They never have these timeouts in any other game ever played.


It's getting to the point that the NCAA should really set some guidelines or something.

[dirk digler]

damn

[Dartgod]

Ooops!

[DeezNutz]

lol at Anderson when he's pissed.

[PastorMikH]

Great things is we've made this run with Carroll and Lyons on the bench.




I'm thinking we should really be attacking Thabeet right now with the bench guys. Let the bench guys get the fouls trying to get him out.

[DeezNutz]

Yep. Great call.

[Dartgod]

Charge!!

[Molitoth]

Nice charge

[kcxiv]

Easy Charge call

[wild1]

normally you have to go to a bullfight to see a charge like that one

[PastorMikH]

Now THAT was a shoulder dropping.

[wild1]

if only Larry Johnson still charged like that

[-King-]

HOLY SHIT! THAT BLOCK...

[petegz28]

WTF was the foul?

[dirk digler]

I hate to complain about fouls but that guys arm went across the MU's guy's face when he was shooting

[Molitoth]

damn there goes the 2 guys playing the best.

[PastorMikH]

They have to put some MAJOR arch on the ball to get it over Thabeet.

[wild1]

what a play by carroll to keep that rebound

[PastorMikH]

damn there goes the 2 guys playing the best.


No point wearing them out.

[Molitoth]

damnit, PLEASE make some shots!!! :(

[Ultra Peanut]

That was gorgeous, until the shot.

[petegz28]

we have to start scoring now....

[DrRyan]

Gotta hit those wide open looks.

[PastorMikH]

We definately have UCON on their heels.

[Dartgod]

Gotta score on these turnovers.

[jjjayb]

Enough with the 3's already.

[Ultra Peanut]

stop shooting threes kthx

unless they're 65-footers

[Molitoth]

Whatb a bullshit foul there.

[wild1]

the strength of this team is that the other team is really gassed by the last 5 minutes

[PastorMikH]

I wonder how many sprints and how much running Anderson makes these guys do in the off-season. Even though we're deep and rotate, we never seem to look tired.

[petegz28]

OMG what the fuck call was that? Seriously that was fucking weak

[Molitoth]

lol #21 for Uconn looking Gassed, "son of a bitch"

[PastorMikH]

the strength of this team is that the other team is really gassed by the last 5 minutes


Basically.:)

[dirk digler]

cmon start pushing the ball

[luv]

We cannot let them get the ball inside.

[Molitoth]

damnit Lawrence back in.

[Mosbonian]

Are they ever going to get Thabeet for over the back?

mmaddog
*******

[wild1]

OMG what the **** call was that? Seriously that was ****ing weak

so earlier i read that you are always bitching about the refs...

[KC_Connection]

MU is affecting UConn in a way that I didn't think they'd be able to.

[luv]

Anyone got snow yet?

[Dartgod]

3-4 inches in Belton

[eazyb81]

We really need a 3 to go in....

[KC_Connection]

Anyone got snow yet?
Looks to have just started in Lawrence.

[DrRyan]

77 and sunny in Phoenix:D

[Ultra Peanut]

MU is affecting UConn in a way that I didn't think they'd be able to.They're a pretty good team in a pretty good run of form.

[Molitoth]

Anyone got snow yet?

1/2" in St. Joe

[jjjayb]

MU is affecting UConn in a way that I didn't think they'd be able to.

Yes we know. Mizzou shouldn't have been able to hang with the all powerful big east team.

[wild1]

77 and sunny in Phoenix:D

lucky, only about 60 and sunny here!

[luv]

Still rain down here for now. I think we're supposed to get a little snow a little later. Maybe up to an inch, if that. Ended up going north of us.

[petegz28]

so earlier i read that you are always bitching about the refs...

Yea, cause I am the only on who said something about that call....:rolleyes:

[dirk digler]

damn

[Molitoth]

FUCK YOU LAWRENCE< GET HIM THE FUCK OUT

[luv]

C'mon guys. SCORE!!!

[Ultra Peanut]

Dick Enberg has to be TRYING to make people hate him.

[DrRyan]

Dammit Lawrence, pull your ****ing head out!!!!!

[luv]

FUCK YOU LAWRENCE< GET HIM THE FUCK OUT

WTF, man?

[KC_Connection]

They're a pretty good team in a pretty good run of form.
I knew they were pretty good, but to be able to do this to UConn is quite an accomplishment.

[jjjayb]

72 and sunny in Olathe

[Molitoth]

nice pass tiller

[dirk digler]

MU never quits

[KC_Connection]

Yes we know. Mizzou shouldn't have been able to hang with the all powerful big east team.
I doubt KU would have been able to.

[Ultra Peanut]

Wow, that was such a great sequence that it apparently counted for four points!

[wild1]

I doubt KU would have been able to.

probably not, but it says more about the style of play than the caliber of players

[jjjayb]

The guys barking like dogs are annoying. I keep thinking there's a dog outside.

[petegz28]

Come on guys..you have to hit the FT's

[DrRyan]

If MU can win this game, it is going to be Tiller that wills them to it.

[Moobs]

I only started watching more of Mizzou because of family that are big fans. BUT, win or lose, they are a really fun team to watch. I really enjoy their style of basketball.

[DeezNutz]

Have to knock down FTs.

[Dartgod]

Fucking free throws.

[Captain Obvious]

UConn doesn't miss free throws and we don't make them. Difference in the ball game.

[jjjayb]

I doubt KU would have been able to.

What does KU have to do with this game? KU was lucky to make it to the sweet 16 this year.

[KC_Connection]

probably not, but it says more about the style of play than the caliber of players
I think Mike Anderson is a really good coach, btw.

[Molitoth]

Wow, and it all oes downhill fast.

[Mecca]

Jesus what a horrid sequence there.

[luv]

SHIT! C'mon guys.

[PastorMikH]

I doubt KU would have been able to.


KU would have matched up differently, but Aldrich gives up in height on Thabeet he'd make up for with stregnth. I think it would be an interesting game.

[wild1]

need some buckets here

[KC_Connection]

What does KU have to do with this game? KU was lucky to make it to the sweet 16 this year.
yea we totally sucked this year

[Ultra Peanut]

You guys have another run in you.

[wild1]

I think Mike Anderson is a really good coach, btw.

I wonder what Anderson would do with players like UConn has

[DeezNutz]

Damn.

[dirk digler]

just can't hit the 3's

[Ultra Peanut]

oh for fuck's sake

[petegz28]

fuck

[eazyb81]

Game is slipping away from us......

We're not going to win if we can't hit wide open 3s.

[PastorMikH]

Another 10 minute break for UCON to rest.

[kcxiv]

I dont watch much College hoops and i never seen these teams play, but i can tell that Mizzou has no inside game and rely's on jump shots. That shit doesnt work against the leet teams.

[Mecca]

All UConn has to do now is backoff and let the 3's go up.

[Sure-Oz]

Guys gotta hit those open shots, cmon tigers

[DrRyan]

We are in a little trouble now. Those last two possessions have put us in a tough spot. We need some stops right now.

[PastorMikH]

Game is slipping away from us......

We're not going to win if we can't hit wide open 3s.



We're still in this game plenty. 4+ minutes is a lot of time with this MU team.

[Molitoth]

I dont watch much College hoops and i never seen these teams play, but i can tell that Mizzou has no inside game and rely's on jump shots. That shit doesnt work against the leet teams.

Actually they do, but UCONN has like the biggest team in the country under the hoop. Have you seen howmany blocked shots they have? Almost any team has to rely on perimeter shooting vs Uconn.

[Mecca]

I dont watch much College hoops and i never seen these teams play, but i can tell that Mizzou has no inside game and rely's on jump shots. That shit doesnt work against the leet teams.

No one plays an inside game on UConn it's why they win most of their games, if you try to play the inside game with them you're shots will get swatted.

[wild1]

UConn is a great basketball team that isn't going to lay down here, down the stretch.

if Mizzou has this in them they have to go win it

[tk13]

No one plays an inside game on UConn it's why they win most of their games, if you try to play the inside game with them you're shots will get swatted.
Unless you have DeJuan Blair.

[KC_Connection]

OREBS are huge right now for them.

[PastorMikH]

No one plays an inside game on UConn it's why they win most of their games, if you try to play the inside game with them you're shots will get swatted.



Not when there's a 7'3" guy in the middle for them. Thabeet is 6" taller than Carroll.

[DrRyan]

No one plays an inside game on UConn it's why they win most of their games, if you try to play the inside game with them you're shots will get swatted.

Unless you are Pitt, then you just let Blair make Thabeet look like a little girl. But, generally, I agree.

[Mecca]

Unless you have DeJuan Blair.

Pitt is literally the only team the entire year that was able to do that.

[kcxiv]

Actually they do, but UCONN has like the biggest team in the country under the hoop. Have you seen howmany blocked shots they have? Almost any team has to rely on perimeter shooting vs Uconn.

Yeah, and its not working becuase Mizzou's defense can only contain and not hold. I guess thats why Uconn is the top team i believe.

[KC_Connection]

Unless you have DeJuan Blair.
DeJuan is an absolute beast.

[DeezNutz]

Must get a stop.

[DeezNutz]

Must get a stop.

Now take advantage.

[wild1]

is that turnover the momentum changer?

[dirk digler]

One last run....PLEASE

[kcxiv]

They have to score on this possession. That was a huge fuck up by uconn.

[KcMizzou]

Please, please, please....

[DrRyan]

Dammit, I am a diehard, but I think that might do it right there. Down by 8 and can't buy a bucket.

[KC_Connection]

Missouri's defense is keeping them in the game.

[Bowser]

Fuck.
