Open Game Thread :: Game #24 :: #16 Kansas Jayhawks 19-4 (8-0) @ #17 Missouri Tigers 20-4 (7-2)

Kansas Jayhawks at Missouri Tigers, Feb 9, 2009 8:00 PM CST


http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/67657/Big_Monday.jpg

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.

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.

by hunter s. royal on Feb 9, 2009 6:42 PM CST reply actions  

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.

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.

by hunter s. royal on Feb 9, 2009 6:56 PM CST reply actions  

I'd be more worried about Higgins than Hightower...

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.

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

by Danny Satan on Feb 9, 2009 7:12 PM CST up reply actions  

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.

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

Be interesting to see if Sherron does most of the ballhandling early.

i like him gettin some run at point, probably more than most of us do

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.

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.

Holy shit.

Anyone else see that our leading scorer (Relly Ice) had only six points? Holy shit. Talk about balanced scoring.

And, we must be really rebounding on committee, because McMorris is second and he only has 3.

Oh, and that was either a foul on McMorris or a charge on Tyrel.

the balance is great to see...

a real sign of our growth this year

ty taylor

way to take the energy out of the crowd going into the half.

by bt01 on Feb 9, 2009 8:57 PM CST reply actions  

Naaah

They have some energy left, but they’re already using it on spending halftime booing the refs. Intimidating, that Missouri crowd is.

WOW!!!!....it wasn't pretty necessarily but..

we’ve got a 14 point lead just as I asked and we held MU to 16 frickin points in the first half…I’ll take it any day of the week

16 Points in the half

is awesome.

Quick question, again.

Did MIssouri start the game with 16 points? It seems like they didn’t score for a long, long time.

It does feel like that...

seems like they score a bucket and then go 5 minutes without a thing

T-SQUARED!

Damn, bitch.

Whenever he plays like shit for a first half, he always comes out and makes a ridiculous play to close out the half. Holy shit.

OK, you see what we have? Yeah, that’s called momentum. Not a whole helluva lot, but that last bucket by T-Squard clearly gave it to us.

Ahahahahahaha

This A-Rod interview is comedic GOLD. I kid you not, after mentioning lipstick a minute ago, I just got a text message from a friend saying “I think he stole that lipstick from my collection.” And yes, she is a KU fan.

Makes me feel bad for the guy...

he’s just gotten so much bad advice…Dick Vitale was on Mike and Mike this morning and talked about how much he has changed over the years…apparently Dick knew him well when he was in Seattle

I watched

an old Mariners game on MLB Network just the other day and noticed how small A-Rod looked back then. It was striking, and then all this steroids news comes out…

Weird week.

Outstanding 1st half.

Can’t ask for much more than that.
