That Laurence Bowers dunk from last night? A SportsCenter Top 10 highlight.

"Mizzou's 13-2" Links!

    DeMarre Carroll followed every word, nodding his head in apparent understanding.

    No matter that Terry Moore — a sportscaster from Shenzhen, near Hong Kong — was speaking Chinese.

    “I speak no Chinese,” Carroll said, “but I’m an active listener.”

    So ended Missouri’s nonconference basketball season, with the 13-2 Tigers accepting plaudits from all over following the Tigers’ 88-55 victory over Coppin State. Including flowery congratulations from the Chinese TV journalist visiting the Missouri School of Journalism.

    Through a translator, the Chinese journalist with the American-sounding name, asked Carroll, Keith Ramsey and Matt Lawrence: “What chance do you think you can get yourself into the NBA, thanks.”

    ...

    Later, in a hallway inside Mizzou Arena, Lawrence was still shaking his head but smiling over the exchange.

    “He started off speaking in English, and then I realized he switched to Chinese,” Lawrence said. “I didn’t realize he was going to have a translator.”

No idea why I'm linking to this (it's still waaaaay too early), but I just knew you needed some Bracketology in your life, so here you go.  Gonzaga-Missouri in the West Region 7-10 game.  Better than the Kansas-Davidson draw, I'll say that much.

NFL Draft or Mizzou?  Well, it might finally be coming to an end: in two days, Jeremy Maclin announces his intentions for 2009.

Finally, in recruiting news, hold your breath: Ronnie Wingo is visiting Arkansas, and let's just say I'm pretty sure he's going to be told exactly what he wants to hear about playing running back, his coach actually staying there for five years, et cetera.  Chances are, if Wingo hasn't committed to Arkansas by Monday, his odds of becoming a Tiger end up getting awfully high, even though Tennessee is trying to sneak in the back door...

A most surreal moment. . .
DeMarre Carroll followed every word, nodding his head in apparent understanding.
No matter that Terry Moore — a sportscaster from Shenzhen, near Hong Kong — was speaking Chinese.
"I speak no Chinese," Carroll said, "but I’m an active listener."

No one in the press room really knew what was going on when this guy just started speaking Chinese for about 45 seconds. His translator tried to find a question in what he was saying – it ended up being something like “will you guys ever play in the NBA?”

Then DeMarre deadpans that perfect quote. It was almost as good as seeing Bobby Knight blow up at a kid from the Maneater 2 years ago in that room – almost.
