NOOORRRRRRRM!

I think I'm going to name my second son Sek.

btw...

...the game is indeed on ESPN360 if anybody's interested...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 7:25 PM CST 0 recs

Campus internet has a jihad on ESPN360

Score another point for the "football school" argument.

Mizzou on a run headed toward...

...the final 2 minutes of the first half. We were down 5-6 quite a bit, now we're up 36-30. And I'm sure I just jinxed the crap out of us.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 7:48 PM CST 0 recs

or...

...I just jinxed us into a Marshall Brown 3-pointer and a Demarre Carroll steal-and-layup. 41-30 Mizzou. Not sure how to react to this.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 7:49 PM CST up 0 recs

and that's the score at half...

...could have been more, but Keon pulled up on the break instead of ooping to Leo with 12 seconds left...which was a decent, smart idea until he threw the ball away with 2 seconds left. Oh well. 41-30.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 7:52 PM CST up 0 recs

Marshall Brown 3-pointer?

That is some crazy voodoo.

by rptgwb on Feb 13, 2008 8:09 PM CST up 0 recs

His second of the game, no less...

...just an odd, odd game.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 8:18 PM CST up 0 recs

oh by the way...

...NU's cut it to 57-52 with 10 left. Shocking, I know.

And Matt Lawrence has (from what I've seen, anyway) SUCK-DIDDLY-UCKED...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 8:28 PM CST 0 recs

Matt Lawrence sucking?

Voodoo gone.

by rptgwb on Feb 13, 2008 8:44 PM CST up 0 recs

meanwhile...

...Maric getting the serious star treatment.

68-65 Mizzou...2:50 left...apparently Keon just fouled somebody with his drawstring or something...just ridiculous...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 8:51 PM CST 0 recs

71-68 Mizzou...

...60 seconds left...Mizzou ball...can't breathe on Maric without a whistle...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 8:55 PM CST up 0 recs

though Carroll certainly earned that one (nm)

by The Beef on Feb 13, 2008 8:57 PM CST up 0 recs

timeout NU...

...Mizzou by 2 with 8.9 seconds left...NU ball...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:00 PM CST 0 recs

ugh...

...what happened to "let 'em play"? I was just getting used to that. Harley lowers his shoulder into keon, keon doesn't budge, foul on keon. Harley shooting FTs to tie the game.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:03 PM CST 0 recs

tie game, 5 seconds left...

...bleh.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:05 PM CST up 0 recs

OT.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:05 PM CST up 0 recs

yeah...decent effort by Horton to try to draw

the foul...but it did not really look like he had been touched.

by The Beef on Feb 13, 2008 9:07 PM CST up 0 recs

looked like more contact on replay...

...but obviously nothing that's going to draw a whistle...unless it's 'Nova at Georgetown anyway...

I really am glad I don't really care about this game...otherwise I'd be all sorts of angry...as it is, I'm just annoyed and grumbly...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:09 PM CST up 0 recs

what the

heck is going on with this.... I've lost everything. TV is screwed up, no internet radio, no live stats, nothing.

by cornnnation on Feb 13, 2008 9:11 PM CST 0 recs

an ANGRY Mizzou team...

...opening up a (small) can of whoopass. 78-71 with 1:34 left...timeout NU.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:14 PM CST up 0 recs

blocked shot by MU out of the timeout...

...shooting FT's with 1:09. Nice response by MU here after faltering (with help from whistles, ahem) down the stretch...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:18 PM CST up 0 recs

one of the most frightening sights imagineable:

Marshall Brown handling the ball in the backcourt during a full-court press. Yeesh. If they'd waited another 3 seconds before the contact, there was a 99% chance of a travel.

Marshall shooting FT's up 80-74...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:20 PM CST 0 recs

lol...

...on the last two trips to the line, Horton and Brown are 4-for-4 on FT's...I STILL HATE YOU GUYS (okay, not really Brown). STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL OTHERWISE.

Ahh, there we go...Horton with a stupid foul with 0:44 left...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:22 PM CST up 0 recs

and then...

...a guy I LIKE (Tiller), misses two FT's...NU comes down and nails a 3, and suddenly the lead's back down to 4. Tiller back to the line. Come on, JT...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:23 PM CST up 0 recs

Tiller makes both FTs...

...then Leo with a midcourt steal (could have been a foul), runs the give-and-go with Tiller to perfection...Leo with the dunk, Mizzou wins, 86-78. Well done, guys.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:25 PM CST up 0 recs

well

poop.

Pomery had predicted we had a 56% chance of winning, so....

I guess.

by cornnnation on Feb 13, 2008 9:27 PM CST up 0 recs

Is it bad my reaction to Lyons' dunk

Was not of adulation because we had just iced the game away, but that I thought he should have been T'eed up for it?

The season cannot end soon enough.

Good effort in the OT, they looked organized and got the job done on the road.

Let the talk about the NIT or....um....other NIT commence!

by The Beef on Feb 13, 2008 9:26 PM CST up 0 recs

lol...

...it's an interesting experience rooting for the team and against half the players on the court at any given time...but here at Mizzou, I think I may be getting used to it...

Alright, screw you guys, I'm going to bed. Wait, that's not the line...

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:38 PM CST up 0 recs

I love 360

and by "love" I mean "hate."

It's like watching the Zapruder film with Sasquatch up on the grassy knoll.

Good win for the boys. Nice to see that they didn't let the foul descrepancy get to them.

Watch out for Manhattan this Saturday. It looks like KSU will lose tonight in Lubbock.

by SleepyFloyd7 on Feb 13, 2008 9:32 PM CST 0 recs

it worked okay for me tonight...

...other than the two times it randomly shut down and the unbelievable choppiness of the final 5 minutes of the game...you know...other than that, it was great.

by The Boy on Feb 13, 2008 9:38 PM CST up 0 recs

3-6-What???

Oh, you should have just gone to the game. In the worst venue I've ever been in to watch B12 basketball, I had the best time of anyone in the building tonight.

And yeah, it was pretty sweet to see Huskerdumb bailing during the OT.

Victory Whiskey.
