UCLA is overrated as hell. OU is definitely legit.

UCLA definitely keeps getting credit for the three straight final fours, when they havent do too much this year in a weak conference to deserve the high praise and rankings...

So I didn't see the game...but ... GO MISSOURI

I'm all for rushing the court when you pull off a huge upset, but when you are ranked #17, and you beat #16, and you run on the court and act like that?? Act like you been there before, or I guess in Mizzou's case, at least act like you think you deserve to be there....

 

 

In their eyes, they just won the championship. I hear Anthony Peeler's don't grow on trees.

This was Mizzou's Super Bowl.

Oh please. I saw KU fans watching with passive indifference when they beat us in football this year.

 

edit: DO YOU REALIZE HOW BAD OUR BASKETBALL HAS BEEN!!

 

it hasn't been just a bad team the past two years, it's been a freaking shooting with our players every weeks, brawls at athena transfers etc. etc.

 

So yes, we are excited we are likely going to the tournament.

Right cause that was our super bowl. KU is a bball school as you remember.

 

In my memory, I have only seen KU try to rush the court once, after the Texas game in 2005??. The 20 or so fans got booed faster than Ronnie Woo at Soxfest.

So your best bball team in 7 years beat our worst bball team in 7 years on a miracle running jumper and you act like you won the national championship. I am sorry but for a program to bo batty over likely going to the tourney sounds a bit IL STate like.

 

I stand corrected, KU did rush the court after we won the whole damn thing last year.

yes. 'Miracle'. IL St. sounds about right. Should we have thrown alamo's on the court. Would that have been the classy KU fan who expects so much?!?! I'm just happy our players didn't whip out a pistol. I'd rush the court over that.

No cheer really loudly, collect your coats and walk out the door. Then engage in crazy orgy style celebrations with tons of celebratory alcohol.

We can do both, it's called walking and smashing box at the same time.

 

that was sexist.

Gophers beat Indiana at home yesterday by 8 thanks to 22 points from Paul "I should be starting" Carter. I missed it due to work, but considering the fact that 8 people on the team were getting over food sickness I can't complain. A win is a win.

I hate these Duke/UNC games. Obviously, you guys hate them for all the publicity they get, and as a Duke fan, I agree to a certain degree but the nervousness that is right now up until tip-off is ridiculous.

 

Atleast Hawks/Thrashers will take me through it.

Apparently ISU's PG is leaving the team. I have heard that he does not get a long with Osiris and will no longer play. No wonder he'd never pass the ball to O and Osiris looked so lifeless with him out there.

Was Lou Phillips going to be counted on to be a big contributor?

It's just round 1, they will meet again in a month, and quite often a week after that in the ACC tourney. I try to keep it in perspective, with march madness right around the corner, but it's always a bit nerve racking before the matchup. Hopefully Danny, and Tyler can complete their 4 year sweep in front of the "crazies" tonight.

Lou, lol, well he was our starting point guard. Seems to explain the way they have played these last couple games. Apparently the team is very clique-y and are not getting along well at the moment. Shame to see us lose such a talented team due to chemistry issues. I don't put much into chemistry but in basketball it can really help or hurt you. I remember seeing Jank yelling at him because he wouldn't give the ball to Osiris.

Ah, so their chemistry explains their fall from basketball greatness.

Yeah it couldn't be that they started hot against one of the worst out of conference schedules in recent memory, then played well at times against the worst version talent and depthwise of the Missouri Valley Conference this decade. No, they were just a great team that eventually fell victim to poor chemistry. Stuff like that happens all the time.

I'm not saying that they wouldn't have lost some games or they would be ranked by now. This has been a vastly different team the last 2-3 weeks. Way different than the team that started conference play 4-0 and smoked creighton by 22.

What about when they lost to Indiana State the first time? Bradley? Wichita State? Or are you categorizing those as "chemistry-based" losses?

 

Maybe oh maybe, they just arent as good as you painted them to be repeatedly on this site. BTW Creighton isnt really a win to hang your hat on.
