I doubt it wasn't as much as everyone else does when we bump your predictions thread.

Mike Anderson in Columbia for senior night should be fun.

Mizzou beat Rotterdam.

Keion Bell, Jabari Brown??? They don't even mention the return of MU's best post player Lawrence Bowers. What a shitty article.

Bowers and Pressey didnt play. Negus Webster Chan didnt play also.

I was kinda hoping that Kentucky would be coming to Mizzou Arena this year.

Got to keep winning these European exhibitions. It helps the team to build confidence against teams we should beat.

You certainly don't want to lose.

so, the dutch are a buncha cheap shotting bastards? hmmmmmm.

It will be nice to be able to travel about 20 miles and watch the Tigers play in person. Watch for me...I will probably be the only guy wearing MU black and gold in a sea of Kentucky blue.

Sounds like one of the games the Tigers used to play at KU

From another board. Holy shit...

I thank him every day to my self. Well more so I thank God that he left!! Crazy how circumstance is. If Mike would have stayed I would have 1) Kept my name in the draft, went undrafted and would be miserable playing basketball in Istanbul somewhere. 2) Transfered and been about to start my senior season at some other school. He left so I got to stay and finish my career and education at the place that I love more than any place on earth. He left, so I was blessed to be coached and mentored by the best coach I could have ever imagined having in Frank Haith. I got to learn and be Obsessive about my preparation for games with the best Game prep and player development staff I've ever seen in this business. I got to finish my career the right way and now am living my life long dream and 2 weeks away from my first training camp and my first NBA season. I'm a forgiving soul, well kinda. I'm thankful Melvin Watkins and Mike Anderson recruited me to Columbia. I'm blessed to have known his staff and their wives and kids. I truly love all of them. But the thing that I am most thankful for... Is that Mike Anderson left for Arkansas. I'm so blessed for that decision he made. All the sleepless, miserable nights of my junior year. All the unpreparedness going into games. All my unconfident nights my junior year. I wouldn't trade them for the world. It taught me so much. And molded me into a better person. When he left. I got my team back. The division in that 2010-11 team left right out the door with him. And it showed in our play last season. So if I saw him at the golf tournament. I would've said "Thank you" as well. But I wouldve said thanks for leaving my school!

Sounds like Mizzou will play in the 2013 carriet hoops tournament with Texas, NC State, and Kentucky.

Still can't help but to LMAO whenever I see or hear the name "Mizzou Basketball".

funny--that's what this whole board when they see your username attached to any opinion.

I'll admit, it makes me chuckle, too. Seriously, how does a conference let itself get punked in the last conference game a school ever plays before getting a promotion to the big-time?

It's even funnier that a person that's from Missouri, has no ties to the state of Kansas or it's university, lives in Missouri, attended Mizzou, follows the football team and has man crushes on all the ex MU football players tries to act like they're the #1 all time KU fan.

If anyone cared about that at all, they cared about it for around a week until MU laid a giant T-Rex sized turd in the opening round of the NCAA tourney against Norfolk St. Then everyone laughed at them and said good riddance.

It's not like the Big12 crumbled when MU left the conference. Hell they even added a better bball program anyways in WVU. So really the conference got better.

We would have ****ed you in the ass, skeeted on the pillows, and wiped our dick on the curtains of the Sprint Center on our way out...except it's our house. Have fun playing the Big XII tournament in Missouri. We promise not to win your little tournament next year.

I'm sure Bill Self had a hard time sleeping the night before the NATIONAL TITLE GAME because he knew Mizzou ran off to the SEC with a meaningless conference tournament trophy.

I'm glad it'll be played in Missouri at the Sprint Center. At least that way I can still go to the games. If it happens to move to Dallas or OKC so be it. Missouri is going to have a hard ****ing time getting fans to travel to New Orleans or Atlanta for the SEC tournament. MU fans don't hardly ever travel, especially for basketball.

All my friends and I are stoked for the chance to go to New Orleans in winter for some basketball. WTF are you talking about?

I didn't even know that was a thing.

Wow. MU beats out Georgetown and Michigan State for Johnathan Williams III.

Thought for sure he was going to be a Hoya.

M-I-Z-J-W-3!!

Great get...

Huge get

LOL at Saul.

So cute.

It really is. Talented big guy to go along with the talented guards.

To add to that, Williams appears to be an outstanding student and person. He typically gets straight A's in his classes and is right at the top of his graduating class.

I know it's nitpicky, but this seems to replace Bowers more than it replaces Oriakhi. This dude is a lanky kid that's probably built more for the offensive side of the court.

Meh, I'll let it play out; I shouldn't be this picky. Maybe Jankovich is our true 5. He's a talented big man and that's good enough for me.

Very few college teams have a true 5. Hell, most NBA teams don't have a true 5.

I think you'd see Rosburg as the thick post guy.

Jankovic is very similar to Bowers/Williams in skill set and build. Long, lean, skilled offensive guy. Jankovic is also a sneaky athlete - he's not a typical Eurobig. Some serious springs.

The other guy they're recruiting in this class, Torren Jones, is more of a bruiser/hard worker sort.

Dammit I want my DeMarre Carroll!

MU basketball: Getting stomped from one blue blood to another

JFC, you're at the point where you're not even replying to a discussion. You're not even trolling anymore, you're just kinda... mumbling underneath the conversation. Obsession: thou hast it.

He's an idiot.

Moving on.

Looks like the Tigers are getting some new blood to break my ****ing heart again this year

What's the other "blue blood"? UK is on a whole nother level.

keep thinkin' that....ROFL

They are on top... far above others.

in the SEC I completely agree.

8 national titles > 3

So I guess UCLA is on another planet then using this logic.

I had forgotten about UCLA winning the title last year.

PF Torren Jones commits to Mizzou.

FYP

Best backcourt in the nation led by the preseason SEC POY.

MU will finish 3rd in the SEC

Well this sucks. Mike Dixon and Dominique Bull suspended.

http://www.kansascity.com/2012/10/26...ique-bull.html

Meh...for an exhibition game. Not related to the law nor the NCAA.

Is tonight's game televised in KC?

Looks like its on 1748 for me (Uverse).

stream? pretty redic i cant watch the game because i have directv. sorry, i like to enjoy watching tv. Time warner is trash.

ESPN3 has it streaming but its subject to blackout (I'm even blacked out of it and I'm 500 miles away from Columbia).

on MSN

Amazing start. 4-4 from the field including 2-2 from deep and 2-2 from the line. 12-0

This team is going to be mean defensively. They are fast and long.

3-3 from 3. 6-6 from the field.

Nice to actually see us have some size on the team for once

one of my best friends asst coach on the NW sidelines.

These are grown men.

23-3

WOW, when was the last time MU had someone 6'11" ?

Monte Harge?

I don't think he was that tall...I could be wrong

This team looks like a Big East team from a size standpoint, but they're running like a Big 8 team.

I think he was a true 7.

Pressed with six assists in 9:30.

I wa about to say similar. I think we finally have some size to compete with the top teams

Make that 7 in 9:50. Four or five for dunks/layups.

33-5

Oriakhi is HUGE.

Now I know why Bill Self was afraid to play these guys...wow!

Wish the game was on here on TWC...it is listed in the description, but they have the KSU football game on instead.

I got the sense this one was over when it was 36-5.

I'm not going that far.......yet

ROFL NWMSU is a great measuring stick
