The Frank Martin show is on FSMidwest right now
I think I’d watch a movie depicting the Pitino crime family going to war against the Martin crime family.

good morning
i was watching the pitt-gtown game and decided to flip over to FSM to see what time the mizzou game was (i thought it was at 3:15). well, i got lucky and realized it started at noon.
the gg has already missed two open threes. ugh, doesn’t bode well on the road.

he does not play well under pressure
or at all, for that matter

ugh
probably. least clutch player ever.

what is Thompkins doing making threes
I didn’t know Taylor could flush it that easy

another open one missed
that’s three. time for him to sit.

tip number one for winning on the road:
shoot at least 80% from the line.

some stats backing up my lawerence hatred
against the the three legit big conference teams we have played, he has been 2-16 from beyond the arc. Thats Xavier, USC and Illinois. he was 2-10 against xavier. Thats hot garbage. and now he has missed the first three he has taken today
UConn has FIVE turnovers now against Buffalo in the Int'l Bowl
there’s 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

shots are rattling out and an opposing player is red-hot...

Thompkins was standing on the line after that offensive rebound

I'll say this much...
…when Missouri misses a shot, it’s by an inch. When Georgia misses, it’s by a foot. Surely that will mean something as the game wears on…

Shooting killing us, turnovers killing them...
…if we just don’t lose focus and get discouraged about the shots rolling out, we should be okay.
And Denmon is OFF today…

well put
We’re wearing them down with the pressure, and Tiller seemed to do a pretty good job on Woodbury over the last couple minutes…

At the beginning of the half, yes
2/7 from the floor, 2/6 from three.
Chicago White Sox Examiner — Your what hurts?
Leo just had the weirdest layup of all-time...
…went up for the monster dunk but was coming up about two feet short…ball slipped out of his hand and right in the basket…
Approaching the 16:00 minute timeout, it’s 38-37 Mizzou…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
Tiller's free throws...
I’m watching the Georgia broadcast (I live in Florida). Did anyone else notice that Tiller got 3 free throws for getting fouled in the lane? Was there a lane violation or something? The Georgia broadcasters didn’t notice. They said “missed the first of 2” and then something about it being a shooting foul so he got 2 shots. The Georgia bench was going crazy, and I think they were right.
The Mizzou announcers didn't say anything either..
…I was typing something and looked up and Tiller was still at the line…
In other words, I’m of no help whatsoever on that one.
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
the first one was practice...
actually…no one was set at the line…he just kind of shot it…could have probably been delay of game, but they were making people tuck their shirts in
