They did it! Held Pittsburgh to 16 made baskets, that's pretty impressive. 25 of there 64 points came from free throws. Missouri just dominated that game. [Reply]

This team will definitely get better. To my eye, and I'm not a fanatic, this team just has more length and athleticism than any Mizzou team has had in quite a while.
And by haters, I mostly mean KU f**ks that gloat every time Mizzou loses a game. :-) [Reply]
This Mizzou basketball team is so weird. Lose to Jackson state at home, Memphis by a million, win at Minnesota when down by 20 with less than 10 minutes left, and boat race Pitt when we were 17 point dogs. Guessing this is a rebuilding year for Gates, he’s just such a good coach that we overachieve at times. [Reply]

Mizzou lost to UMKC a few years back. I get the criticism, I really do. What I don't get is the constant crippling cynicism. Year after year. I don't have time in my life for that constant neurotic bullshit. [Reply]

I have hope for Dennis Gates, but what has ever happened in Mizzou basketball history that would lead to anything other than cynicism? Plus 8 out of the last 10 years we've had absolute ass suck for coaching and recruiting. [Reply]
