Yeah... but it was at the Kohl Center. If you have timing issues on your own home court, you sort of deserve to be fucked over.

I just finished watching. Yeah, the aggressive man-to-man has been a huge issue.
I hope they can work it out by tourney time.First win vs Duke since 1996. Yep, congrats to Temple. You were the better team tonight.
That's so hard to say!
Look for me at the Buckeye/Hoosier game tomorrow......I'll be the one wearing scarlet and gray.

Not a bad blowout win. Followed up by another blowout of Nebraska. If anything kills the Bucks, it'll be injuries or youth.

Road win. The Bears are quirky...beating top teams marginally, and now losing two straight against ranked teams. Drew has put together a big team with some consistency on the boards, but not skilled effectively in man-to-man D. In Mizzou's case, they want to make a point before next season's SEC move. Can the Tigers rely on the charity stripe all the time like yesterday? Can Ratliffe maintain a high field shot percentage? Remember: Baylor shot better from the floor than the Tigers. We'll see...

I think Mizzou's main goal this year is pretty evident and it has nothing to do with next year or the SEC....to win the Big 12 and then the NCAA tournament. As for the game itself, there was a a disparity in foul shots because the Tigers were like pesky gnats running rings around those wide-bodies from Baylor all game. The Bears looked befuddled and lost most of the time trying to figure out a way to combat Missouri's 4-guard attack (they tried both zone and m2m and neither strategy was effective). I think lots of teams will have trouble defending them (already have in fact). As for Ratliffe....well, he's done it through 20 games so I think it's more than coincidence. We'll see indeed....best Missouri team in a long time from my perspective although a short bench might be their Achilles heel. Fun team to watch....
This is over two months old, but since I'm a huge Kentucky fan, I sincerely hope that you're the one who gets trampled to death.
He should be IMO.
Too bad those smart kids from Evanston couldn't beat that school from up north tonight. I would have liked to see Northwestern finally in the dance.
Fun races in the Pac-12 and Big Ten. Wasn't Ohio State supposed to run away and hide with the Big Ten title this year?

The cream always rises to the top.
Kentucky and Syracuse, with NC coming on, Georgetown, Fla State, and Marquette looking good.
I can't wait for tomorrow maildude!

Tomorrow is a huge day. I've put up with an inordinate amount of bullshit from Indiana fans this year. For the first time in five years, they have a decent program, and people are coming out of the woodwork to cheer for them. If they sweep Purdue, I'm liable to leap into the Wabash River tonight.
I really, really hope Purdue can pull the upset. Indiana is very tough at home this year (wins over #1 UK, #2 TOSU, and #5 MSU). It's a rivalry game though, and anything can happen. I haven't been this nervous/anxious/excited for a game in a long time. A win for the Boilers actually puts them ahead of IU in the conference standings.
