Honestly, holding Missouri to only 16 point is pretty freakin' incredible.
And, really, that's all I'll say. Comments go here for the rest of the game/immediate postgame. Bring 'em here.

Has anyone looked in on the RockM OGT...
I’m too preoccupied but it’d be interesting to see what they’re thinking…maybe after the game

I’m going to speed read them and post some of the gems here.

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Just did.
For the most part, they’ve been really cool about it.
RMN is full of some of the rare, rational Mizzou fans. Some typical whines about the refs, but so did we, so we’re all good.
Just as objective as us, methinks.
yeah they are a good group of guys over there...
I actually spent some time on some of their football OGT’s and your right pretty good group
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
SB Nation
actually has a pretty solid collection of sites with rational people, even from some of the, ahem, lesser thought of schools/teams. I have to say though, Arrowhead Pride drives me nuts.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
that's cause your a Broncos fan
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
It's really not.
There isn’t a great group of guys over at Silver & Black Pride, but their rationality is much appreciated. There are a few crazies who would follow Al Davis into the depths of football hell, but mostly they keep it even-keeled. Arrowhead Pride just drives me nuts.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
When AP first started in 2006, I was one of the main commenters.
(As thatswhatshesaid, just in case any of you were there too.)
But now, I just can’t handle it. Way too many KC Star-type people. I can go over there in spurts, but that’s about it.
the place that I can’t stand is Bruins Nation. Blame the refs everytime things go south, not a whole lot of actual analysis (just regurgitation of news stories), and are entirely too defensive of their players; if you criticize a Bruin, prepare to get banned.
yeah you're probably right...
but on the road against a team that I myself thought we would struggle against I’ll take it…first 5 minutes are huge

Pffff
I’ve given pretty much what I give all the SBNation sites. Occasional comedic relief, and a lot to read.

So, at half...
…Mizzou is 7-28 from the field, 1-10 from three-point range, and 1-4 from the charity stripe.
That. Is. Awful.

I just hope they don't heat up...
we are definitely fortunate to an extent right now, just hope we can keep it that way…
on the 1-10 from three though…they take some stupid threes
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Their ball movement was awful at times...
…a lot of one-on-one crap. Not as bad as A&M’s “offense” but pretty unimpressive, nonetheless.

As a neutral observer, what did you think of the refs? I certainly didn't we got the bad end.
by hunter s. royal on Feb 9, 2009 9:10 PM CST up reply actions
Agreed.
I think it was pretty fair. Both sides got some favorable calls, but overall I thought there was some good reffing. Let the players play, which was awesome, and were pretty consistent.
Really good reffing, I think.
Of course, I’m not exactly neutral…
Pretty even in my mind...
nothing so egregious and one sided I couldn’t live with it…of course my team is winning
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
winning always helps.
PS- Not sure if it’s a good idea to show flames in the background for ESPN’s “Border War” thing. Missouri DID burn Lawrence down once upon a time.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
I thought...
…the officiating was pretty good. They let them play for the most part. Hard to say much about those half-and-half charge/block calls.
Credit to the refs for getting that over-and-back call right when Mizzou saved the ball inbounds near midcourt.

OK, here are some semi-random thoughts.
For one, we missed FAR too many open threes. While they shot 1-10, a good half of those were just godawful attempts. Most of ours (McMorris’ failure of an attempt excluded, among a couple others) were wide-open, easily makable shots. Brady, I’m looking at you especially.
You’ve gotta get the ball in there, baby. Same with you, Relly Ice; after those first two, you were cold too.
Other than that, keep up the D, and keep up the offensive boards. Both are incredibly important. We need ’em.
Besides those two, just keep down the turnovers and we should be good.
On a couple of Morningstar's misses...
…I credit the Mizzou defense with getting in his face late. He missed one of them short because he felt like he needed to arc it over the defender.

Glad to see a game
where the refs are not in the foreground. Letting them play on both ends is nice.
exactly...that's how I prefer my refs...silent and out of view for the most part
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Did they call of the hard press
We seemed to be carving it up, and they looked like they backed off a little.
I'd bet they'll try it again this half...
obviously only on made baskets
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Players are so fast
and so good at running up and down the court these days, I’m not sure you can successfully press a very good team anymore.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
All right I'm calling it now...
if we get to 65 we win…and how was that one not a charge…just based on previous calls this game

Okay, this is bad.
16 points in the first half, 8 points in the first 2 and a half minutes.
It’s like playing a whole team of Vinnie Johnsons.

Fuck that.
Ben Gordon sucks.
And anyone with the nickname “Microwave” gets a bunch of points in my book.
No offense to your Bulls.

I completely agree. Trade him and some draft picks and maybe Nocioni for Stoudemire.

Nocioni for Amare
would be super unbalanced, so matter how unhappy and useless Amare has become. There is a ton of upside in acquiring Amare, whereas Nocioni shouldn’t have much of a long-term future in the league.

The Thunder
I think are underrated because of their gawd awful start. In a league where two studs can take you a long way, Durant and Westbrook are nothing to sneeze at.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
Go Thunder!
We’ve gone over this before, but I really don’t follow the NBA much at all. However, I decided to try and start this year, and being the huge anti-bandwagoner that I am, chose the Thunder. I don’t watch any of the games, but I kinda-sorta follow them.
Go Thunder!
I'm with you
on the anti-bandwagoner. It’s why being a Nuggets fan has been so rewarding for so long.
With your adoption of the Thunder, I should point out that I’ve adopted the Islanders. I watch a lot of their games. It might be hockey, but still, it’s as anti-bandwagon as it gets.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
Yeah, I should join you.
I’ve always wanted to follow a hockey team.
So, you’re like me. So, you hate USC football just cause they’re good, too? And Duke basketball?
Sweet, dude.
I won't deny that
But they’ve lost to the T’wolves…twice

Good timeout, Bill.
We really needed a break.
Geez, though. We just need to drain a three, and the place goes ka-put. That’s all it takes.
Just please, please, make an open three. Or, at the very least, just work it in to Cole and let him work. We really need a bucket.
need to have Aldrich start taking this game over.
He’s channeling his Inner-Rush with how passive he is.

Maybe this is the point. However, if it is, we need a big shot.

No, the refs made the right call

unfortunately for whatever reason
the only conferences that earn accolades like that are in the eastern time zone
Fuck yes.
That, right there, as I’ve said all year, is when Releford is at his best. In the fast break, making decisions on the run. The less he thinks, the better he is. If both players are going to expect the pass, and no one picks up ball, just drive the ball down the middle and take the and-one.
Make your throw, Travis, and we’re all of a sudden up 11.
Oh, and by the way
After Fran wasted a shitload of air space talking about the freshmen guards, they just scored 8 straight points.

Who was an acquired taste for me. The talent is obvious, but there’s something clearly missing that’s holding them back from exploding. I just think it will take some time for me to really buy into them.
Releford is completely unfounded love. I have no real reason for being such a fan.

some of brady's passes have been questionable

Ice has gone cold.
This is the point in past games

Well, I never watched it.
But wasn’t the entire point of the show to be a One Season show, where the guy breaks out of prison? And then, they probably could string it together long enough for Season 2 to mean something, but Season 3 being terrible makes sense, to me.
But again, I never watched it.
Pretty much.
Season 1 was very entertaining. You should check it out. But you can definitely stop after the first season.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Season 3 was bad. Really bad.
This last season was pretty good, but it needs to finish up.

First off, absolutely freaking incredible hustle by both sides.
Both teams are trying oh-so-hard, it’s ridiculous. Both teams are better than they’ve shown on offense, but a lot of it is that both D’s are really good, too.
And second off, tremendous pass there by Kieffer. What a pass. Beautiful.
Hit your throws, Cole. We need some breathing room.
please knock these down...
he’s been a little off lately from the line

OK, I say bring back in Mario, Travis and Tyshawn. Maybe just for a flash, but I get the feeling they were playing better than this current crop is.

Shit.
Even though we really didn’t deserve to win, and I pretty much expected to lose this one, this really really sucks.
Still, we can take a lot from this game. Like, a lot. A lot, a lot.
But, in the end, no one could hit a shot at the end (except for Mario), and they hit some lucky-ass shot.
Bull shit.
With the charging/blocking stuff
and the all the extra fouls that were called, plus Aldrich doing his best Eric Chenoweth on offense, it was a pretty predictable finish. When you have it going on, you have it going on.

great mallrats reference
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
At least the game thread finished strong.
Not too many turnovers, handled the press pretty well, and rolled along at a consistent level all night. Officiating was solid to excellent, and overall not many complaints.

I wish I could be like you.
But you see, my biggest flaws are that I care too much, I try too hard, and I put my team ahead of my social life.
I take losses way, way, way too hard. Even stupid, not-that-important ones like these. I won’t be the same for another solid 3-4 days.
It’s really bad. But, it’s just who I am. Ah, well.
The other losses, I was like fuck it, but with this one, I’m really really pissed.
for sure...teachable moments for all
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
100% agreement.
I didn’t expect to win coming in, wasn’t surprised by Collins missing the free throws, and wasn’t blown away when the shot took a Magic Johnson-esque bounce straight into the air and dropped right in. It was Missouri’s night. The difference between Missouri and Kansas is that they have a few nights every season, whereas we have entire seasons. Like I said, Little Brother has to win sometimes, too.

it was very attainable just didn’t take care of business.
So MU averages 45/game in the 2nd half…you know how many they scored…46 all we had to do was score 33 after a first half of 30…couldn’t do it and didn’t deserve to win.

It’s freakin’ incredible we could stay that close.
So, I guess, as long as we can learn how to hold on to the ball in the future, we should win this game by ten points, easy.
Ten points is being kind.
