Missouri/Illinois game thread (since I didn't see one...)
 

Since I didn't see a thread. Figured this game deserves one since it is usually the first big game of our season.


Currently IU is on a bit of a run, but its not quite halfway through the first half.

Did you see that fricking block that MU did right at the start of the game ??? He had to have went half way up the backboard to slap it back off of it...

This MU team is sooooooooooooooooo far ahead of where it was at this time last year... Sure they haven't played any big games yet --- but they are looking good and hustling their butts off !!!

MU up now 25-24...

This is the first game I've been able to sit down and watch.... I LOVE this style of play.

Big fan of Anderson so far.

One thing hasn't changed since last year... They still can't hit their freethrows...

Well when the beakers are over, I will switch to the MU/IU game and see what this 40 minutes of Hades is all about?

Do they ever? I can't remember an MU team that shot FTs well. I'm sure there are stats that prove me wrong, but it always seems FTs kill us.

8-0 MU run.

11-0 MU run.

I LOVE my 2006-07 Mizzou Tigers. I don't care how many games they win, but I love the style of play. It is just damn fun to watch. Much more than that stand still offense that Quin used, ruining some great talent.

Ditto x 100.

Amen... They dont look like they have much "quit" in 'em.

Yeah, from my unbiased perspective, Quin was a good recruiter but watching you guys play offense always wanted to make me throw a brick through the TV screen. Dribble, dribble, dribble, Kareem Rush chucks up a 23 foot fadeaway. Mike Anderson is probably a way better in-game coach. You'll still chuck up a lot of 3's but at least you'll look halfway organized out there.

Man !!! Anderson has this team playing 100% better than they did last year at any time !!!

I love it... I'm with you on --- I don't care how many games they win --- cause if they do lose --- it sure the hell wasn't because they didn't hustle...

Quin = zero D intensity as well.

I'm not real sure Quin even coached D, other than to just tell them to stand in front of the other guy. Arthur Johnson was a hell of a shot blocker, but I suspect that was more talent than coaching.
