Basketball Live Thread: Mizzou vs. Tennessee-Martin

what? WHAT!!!!!. is that three in a row?

maybe someone can find a internet video feed?

go here and install the player if you need it. after that u r good to go.

It appears as if we will have the guard play to be competitive in the big 12. However do you guys think we have the post presence?

lol @ kansas

The south side of Mizzou Arena is once again slow to fill in.

The picture is horrible

I didn’t crash this place…

but Ramsey is getting it done inside….

…but I love Laurence Bowers.

Both moving off the ball and finishing.

Students with the “Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeve” chant.

…I need to scream it, metal-style.

KEEEEEEEEIIIIIIITTH RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYY

We might see somebody collapse in the second half.

WE’RE ONLY UP BY 5!!!!!! FIRE PINKEL!!!! WE NEED A FULLBACK!!!!

… who finds it a little odd having MP3 and Dixon on the floor at the same time?

…Bill C.’s wife asks what that noise is coming from his office.

He was totally climbing the dude’s back.

I’m digging it.

nearly made it too

Dixon looks like one of the members of DH’s posse from Playmakers

and who doesn’t?

…for charging on both guys?

it’s like he’s double-teaming a guy by himself.

…but putting that “Blazing Speed” ad courtside is just great presence of mind.

He sees everything

Q: What noise does a giraffe make?

…if we could name a son Benzor.

… Who Wants to Bring RPT a Sandwich on Press Row?

Ready, go!

nooooo KIMMEH!!!

like a MOFO!

I hope no concussion…..

Tiller’s stroke is much more pure this year.

what spirit animal was he?

right place right time

Denmon got UP

with authority

replace it with trampolines, plz

George Lopez is an abomination.

Round 1: 10-9 MU
Round 2: 10-9 MU
Round 3: 10-9 MU
Round 4: 10-9 MU

You think I forgot???

Bill needs a change of pants.

Would just like to point out that Bowers is currently on pace to average 30 PPG this season.

playing really well

that’s how we roll at the Zou

STEEEEEEEEVE Moore!

Any young ’uns playing good/better?

There’s absolutely no way he won’t be. He’s proven to be too big a part of this offense to sit over Saffy right now.

27-24 oklahoma leads louisiana-monroe (go warhawks) at the half

VROOM VROOM indeed

but you’ve got to love the Bowers 3-pointer.

It wasn’t last year.

am i allowed to say i’m worried about the offense?

bowers and ramsey had great first halves, as did steve moore, actually. but our guards were a combined 7-18, and 3-11 from 3.

i know it’s early, but they’re going to have to pick it up.

Bench points were 32 to 3, if I saw that correctly.

Chase Daniel got cut today, but are we to assume that Joe “Señor Slander” Davis himself is a little too preoccupied today to say anything about it?

Deep breaths

It’s like he decided he better be aggressive, even against his better judgment.

Benzor Simmons
Delrico Lane
Dominique Mpondo
Marquis Weddle
Cataurius taylor
Andres Irarrazabal

Two awkward turnovers in a row

just now came back to see someone (Tiller?) on the ground…what just happened?

for those watching at channelsurfing.net

Place lets out a curious noise

no specific injury was given

http://www.andrewsstarspage.com/index.php/adspblog/comments/goal_celebration_gone_awry

I had no idea.

Steve Moore splashes from just inside the arc, left is right, up is down

Paul to Bowers, reverse alley-oop

I did a screen recording while watching that alley oop, if anyone wants to try and make a .gif

what are the students saying? I can’t understand

6,986

Weak.

Bowers: 14 points on 6-for-7 shooting, 6 rebounds (4 offensive), 4 blocks, 3 assists.

with authority

That block/spike was something else

Rico = the Rich

Must be nice, richie.

Anytime there’s a fast break with Bowers involved, for better or worse, there’s only one option.

It would have been oh so special.

…but holy crap, Saffy. Not even Bowers can flush that oop down.

Kimmie don’t hustle back down the floor after the Bowers turnover. He stands upcourt sulking for a second or two before jogging back.

obviously, still early in the season, and I’m not worried, but I expect CMA will have some choice words for the team’s second half performance

…but I’d like to win by at least 20.

Our man Steve does not shoot pretty free throws.

on here.

…get it all out of your system now, I guess.

that wingspan is pretty impressive

I guess

At least now I can use basketball as my mid-week excuse.

Just got out of a School Board meeting and Mike Kelly made it sound bad in the post-game.

His right foot?

For as strange as this might be for me to say, I think we needed to actually slow down a bit tonight. Every time we took a deep breath, we moved the ball well and landed a very good shot. When we sped back up again, we jacked threes we did not need to jack.

The 4-21 from 3 and the season of 10-54 from three does not make me feel good inside.

I took the Tiller injury as the guy landing on his foot, but it seemed like Mclaughlin and Sundvold never saw it.

Rebounding effort in the first half was lacking a good deal.

Kim English…eeeeehh…I just hope he did not heap TOO much pressure on himself. And I hope he is OK, but dude just needs to take a deep breath.

Ramsey and Bowers had great games, and they should have given the height advantage. They also fed off of one another very well in the half-court game.

I really liked what I saw out of Steve Moore except for the fall-away two footer.

It was something of a maddening game for me, certainly much for the coaching staff to work with in the coming days.

I know, I know..Bob Bummer and all. I was impressed by the speed at which UT-M played and their guy dropping 30 was impressive.

I was impressed with Dixon. Showed some great skills running the floor. And, oddly, he and Paul looked in synch for about 72 seconds. Taking into account it’s the first game, I’m feeling a bit better concerning the guard play off the bench. To echo Beef, Ramsey and Bowers were sick. That pair could get dangerous soon.

English kills me. I know he puts in hours working on his shot, but it’s so bizarre that it doesn’t go. Is it nerves? Or contacts? He’s a shooter and should take open looks. But, regardless if you’re a “shooter” or not, if it’s not working, then you need to pass it off or get closer.

Tiller’s defensive skills need to be taped from four angles, then packaged and given to kids and NBA players. That man is a breathing textbook.
