Kansas Jayhawks at Missouri Tigers, Feb 9, 2009 8:00 PM CST
Holy shit.
My nerves are uncontrollable right now.
I'm, literally, shaking with excitement.
We're going to get this started an entire 90 minutes early this time, as opposed to the usual 60, to try and inflate the numbers a bit. Well, that, and also just because this game is so fucking huge.
The above is a fabulous little graphic the boys over at Rock M Nation cooked up, by the way. Make sure and check out that blog; it's easily one of the finest collegiate blogs here at SB Nation. Despite them being Missouri fans, it's one of my few "daily must reads". Honest. It's just an awesome, awesome place.
But that's enough love. This is Missouri, after all.
We all know the drill. And while the discussions have, refreshingly, been incredibly above-board and knowledge-driven these past couple of days (honestly, thanks a billion to both the RCT residents and the RMN/Missouri visitors; both sides treated each other with plenty of class and respect, which made for some absolutely fantastic discussions. My favorite part of this whole little game, by far), it's time to get our hate on.
So, no more love. Hate face is engaged.
Muck Fizzou.
Editor's Note: Forgot a score prediction. I'll say Kansas 81 Missouri 75. What can I say, I'm a homer.

Just as pumped
Really really looking forward to seeing a great game tonight. I think our guys are raring to go and are going to play to the level of the crowd and the opponent, but its still going to be tough.
Rock chalk and good luck.

Sorry i haven’t been as constant of a contributor of late though, I never seem to get as much time to just sit in front of a computer during the semester. Still glad to see all the growth you guys have got as of late.

we'll see you when you can...thanks for stoppin by
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I'll make my prediction; 79-73 KU.
I think Missouri is gonna be over-amped, and unless the refs bail them out, we steal an early lead.
I hope you're right
As long as KU plays Bill Self defense and doesn’t pee down their leg from the “in your jock” pressure defense, I saw we win a squeaker with MU missing a shot at the buzzer that would’ve put it into overtime. I could very easily see us losing by 7-10 pts if M squared forgets to show up though.
I don't know how long I will be around for
So I will try to get a few posts in early to make up for later
OK, I admit.
I completely forgot a score prediction. But, I don’t want to ruin (what I think) is an absolutely fantastic little OGT post I had. Yes, I’m full of myself.
So, I just inserted a score at the end. No explanation or something.
I’ll hash it out in a second down here, though.
I'm curious about the refs.
If it’s Hightower, his ego seems to demand he make himself the center of attention and there could be a million calls. Even if that should work in our favor I wouldn’t like to see it.
I'd be more worried about Higgins than Hightower...
…because Higgins is just plain awful.

OT, but this Pitt game is further proof that NCAA needs to push the foul limit to 6 personals
Dejuan Blair is one of my favorite players in the game but 2 quick fouls effectively ends his half… such bullshit
I hate the idea of upping the fouls.
Guys already reach and grab and shove too much. Move your damn feet.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Definitely. It's a strange rule, if you think about it.
Why are players disqualified in basketball? Does that really make sense?
Because if they weren't...
…they’d foul anytime they got out of position and the game would suck.

I just finished reading...
…John Feinstein’s book “Last Dance,” and a guy who played in the 1970s had a great quote. It was something to the effect that they game used to be played with the feet, now it’s played with the chest.

How was the book?
I liked “Season on the Brink” and read “March to Madness” but I haven’t read any of his other books.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
The best basketball book I ever read was "The Breaks of the Game" by David Halberstam.
Matter of fact, possibly the best sports book.

My favorite bball book is
probably Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
I almost bought that...
…when I bought Last Dance. I remember watching a movie about Pistol Pete when I was little, but I’d like to know more.

Pro ball. Covers the Portland Trailblazers after their championship run with Walton.
Walton is always entertaining in his grateful dead way. Halberstam is just a fantastic writer.

gotcha
i knew that one sounded familiar, and now that you refreshed my memory, i remember Bill Simmons goin nuts over it in more than one article
Not Feinstein's best work...
…but not bad either. Worth a read if you love college basketball. For you, lots of good KU stuff in there, although it was written based off the 2005 Final Four, so there’ll be some Roy Williams stuff that will probably make you gag.
If you love golf, don’t miss “Open” from Feinstein. Incredible work.

i agree that there has to be at least SOME foul limit before a player gets DQ'd...
otherwise, they would constantly be making guys earn it from the line and the games would take 4 hours… but with how suspect some refs can be at this level (which is forgiveable to an extent; i men obviously they’re not NBA refs so they’re not cream of the crop), it can really ruin a game. fans don’t come to these games to see they best player on the floor get 2 ticky-tack fouls and end up playin less than half the game as a result
It sucks,
but it’s a team game. The fans should cheer for the schools in college bball. If they want to cheer for a player, they need to watch the NBA.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
as a fan
i always feel slighted, even when the opposition has to go long stretches without its best team on the floor.
Vegas
has the O/U set at 154, that seems really low for an MU home game. Mizzou favored by 5 points. I think if we hold to the under, we definitely win this one
I'll say KU 81
Mizzou 67. They simply can’t play with the Hawks.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
GETTING START EARLY?
WARDEN11…WHEN YOU BEGIN DRINKING TWO HOURS BEFORE GAME TIME YOU END UP SAYING THINGS LIKE “THEY SIMPLY CAN’T PLAY WITH THE HAWKS.” DELUSIONAL TO BE SURE…MISSOURI IS BEATING TEAMS IN COLUMBIA AND YET YOU SAY THEY’RE GONNA LOSE BY 14?!?!?!?!
CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THE GAME IS OVER TO REVISIT YOUR POST.
why are you yelling?? :D

Lose by 14 in the first half. It will be much more than 14.
OR SHOULD I YELL IT
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Be interesting to see if Sherron does most of the ballhandling early.
Self seems like he tries to keep him off the ball a bit in the first half. May be no choice this game.
if taylor brins it up some, it won't bother me
i like him gettin some run at point, probably more than most of us do
it could also help conserve Collins’s energy for the 2nd half, cuz it seems probable he’ll go 36+ minutes tonight
All right...
Looks like the party has started all ready…noticed we’ve got a K-Stater in the house…would I be correct in assuming you are hoping we lose?
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I'm torn...
…part of me wants K-State to hang the first conference loss on KU. Part of me wants to send you to your second-straight conference loss. Part of me doesn’t want you any more pissed off than necessary coming into Manhattan on Saturday. Part of me doesn’t want you any more confident than you already are
In the end, I’m going to sit back with a cold beer in one hand and enjoy what shoud be a good game. I love rivalry games, especially when the two teams hate each other as much as you do. So much wonderful human drama.

Fantastic steals by McMorris.
He’s played really well so far.
I’m not too worried about our shots going in. All of them have been good ones; they’ll fall, eventually.
The turnovers suck, but at least we’re forcing them to turn it over.
yeah I agree with our offense, I think we'll get the shots eventually
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
from what I've seen,
you don’t really have to force Mizzou to turn it over, they just do it. We just have to separate ourselves from their desired trainwreck.

Holy hell. I can’t get over it. What a pass, too, on that second one.
OK, my other thing was that we are playing good D.

Agreed.
Which is good-and-bad.
Good, because I think we’re in good shape, and because it is so fun to watch.
Bad, because it’ll keep the OGT numbers down. Plus, when you love CBB as much as I do, it’s always a little disappointing to have games be over.

excellent...comparison
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
and his quickness.
Super quick guard that can get to the basket and pass. He has a good chance of being able to play. Hell, Jacque Vaughn is still in the league.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Yeah, I know he'll be a player in the league.
I just don’t think that he has enough size to be drafted high enough to leave school early, if he’s smart.
At least, I hope.
I don't think he'll be an All-Star or anything
like Chalmers will be, but his defensive intensity and his offensive skills that cannot be taught (speed, quickness, toughness, confidence) will make him a very valuable rotation player, especially for a playoff contender.

OK, this next four minutes is huge.
At the very least, we have to hold serve and keep momentum neutral. That is the bare minimum.
They can’t go into halftime with all of the momentum; even when we have gotten dominated in the first half of games (i.e. @ Nebraska), momentum going into the half really helped us out in the second.
But, ideally, we can grow the lead a little bit, gain even more mo, and we should be fine. Honest.
