Let’s go, Mizzou!

 

If you wondered whether this was still a rivalry.

 

M-I-Z

 

E-R-Y?

 

Good one.

 

Shit, that's quite a script-flip for Mizzou from last season. I know there's lots of season left, but pretty impressive - especially with their leading scorer out today.

 

Other than South Carolina and maybe LSU or Georgia, I can’t figure out what will constitute a get-right game for the league. Oklahoma was tabbed as a weak sister but is undefeated. Vandy has one loss, is playing analytically sound hoops and is more polished already than the best day of the Stackhouse era. Mississippi State was penciled in as a bubble team and now looks terrifying. I genuinely think 12-6 might be good enough to win a share of the league.

 

After predicting Odom to Purdue a week ago and MU beating KU…I’d go get a lotto ticket but then I remember I also predicted a Kamala landslide so nevermind. /BrokenClock

 

Loved the color guy on the Missouri-KU game yesterday, after a Kansas player missed a couple of open shots, making reference to "he gets paid to make those shots" and then said something like, "Sorry, but that's where we are right now. He is literally getting paid to make shots like that."

 

Dunno why he feels the need to apologize for it.

 

Fran Frachilla I believe. He’s exactly right.

 

Yeah, this season is looking brutal. Entertaining, but brutal. Cherish every road win.
