*** MU vs. KU 3/06/10 Game Thread ***

[POND_OF_RED]

Big senior day this Saturday for the Tigers. Mizzou Arena will be rocking like it always is when the Beakers come to town. Hopefully we can take some better shots this time around and make it a lot more entertaining than the display we saw in Lawrence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When: March 6, 2010. 1 pm CT
Where: Mizzou Arena- Columbia,MO
TV: CBS (Verne Lundquist and Clark Kellog announcing)
Series: Kansas leads 168-94 all-time; last - KU won 84-65 on Jan. 25, 2010 in Lawrence

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JT Tiller, Keith Ramsey, and Zaire Taylor thank you all for your tremendous effort and hustle day in and day out for this team. You have all made Tiger basketball fun to watch again. Let's try and send you guys out of Columbia in style.


M-I-Z
**** KU

Let the trash talk commence...

its stupid....#2 in the nation or not i'd be pissed if my team lost anytime esp to a rival

We wont lose, so no worries... Is that arrogant enough?

honestly, this game, in the big picture, doesn't mean shit to KU. Kinda like the Okie State game.

It'd be nice to win on the road, in a tough environment, and some people will freak a bit if we end the regular season losing 2 out of 3, but I'd just prefer to skip the MU game and the Big 12 tournament and get right to the big dance.

Honestly, in the big picture, no game matters except the NCAA championship game. Guess you'll just chill out now on bball until April, eh?

I love watching the spin build already....too funny.

Actually for me, I have a day trip on saturday and have a 2:00 pm show and a 3:30 pm depart. So I am not sure how much I will get to watch or listen to. So I guess I am going to fall into that category of "doing something else". But I will record it and slingbox it when I get to where ever the hell we are going...

Unlike MU fans, KU fans care about every game the Jayhawks play. AFH sells out every time, unlike Paige where that happens once a year.

What my fellow KU fans are trying to say is that this game doesn't hold much importance as far as the big picture goes, which is true. We realize this is the biggest game of the year for MU, but it's not for KU. Do we want a win? Of course. Are we going to be pissed and hurt if we lose? Of course, but only because of the hate we have for you, not because you ruined our season.

prediction?

Missouri is a very good team despite lacking a bit in talent, and if KU doesn't come to play again like last week, it will be an even worse result.

I suspect they'll be motivated, though, even if they don't really have much to play for. Should be a close game within a few points.

I predict an ugly win. KU 72 MU 64

MU is going to have to stay out of foul trouble and draw fouls. Or they better be super hot from behind the 3pt line. Personally, I would turn Denmon and Tiller loose on letting them drive the lane. Those two can draw fouls. A post up game is not even in the game plan. Ramsey and Bowers are going to have to man up and take the ball to the ****ing rim hard. Getting Cole in foul trouble early is key, imo. Keep his shot-blocking ass off the court.

I'm gonna predict a KU loss. MU 72, KU 68.

I don't think KU has any reason to get up for this game. They struggled when they clinched a share of the Big 12 title, and now have it outright. They are coming off one of the more emotional games I can remember, and I haven't heard one person say "lets win this last road game at MU for Sherron", or anything really. Plus Collins has been struggling, trying to go out with a bang. The best offensive player recently has been Xavier, and this will be his first time playing at Mizzou, so his first time seeing such hatred.

KU wins if Sherron can calm down now that the hooplah about senior night is over, if Xavier stays consistent with his scoring, and they show a professional attitude toward taking care of business.
