Funny, we should probably be up by more
but WOW, what a defensive effort and shooting display in that first half

My outsider's halftime assessment
Missouri seniors > Marquette seniors (admittedly not all full strength)
Mike Anderson (BOTC COTY) >>> Buzz Peterson
Seriously, what kind of a (nick)name is Buzz?
Don't say that around GT's mascot
He’ll sting the bejeezus out of you.
Mike Anderson's coaching this year...
…has been possibly the biggest revelation of the season. He wasn’t that impressive as a game coach the last two years, but I guess now that he has his guys, he knows exactly what buttons to push.
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
Hannah, Grimes, and company
made pushing buttons difficult, I bet.
Makes me nostalgiac
for the good ol’ days when he was just wrecking my bracket with UAB upsets of Kentucky, instead of wrecking my Cats in Columbia.
We are too much of a team.
If any of those guys gets injured, their team goes South.
JYD has what? Three points in the game? And we are dominating!

They haven’t been all that impressive truth be told. Lots of bad shots. They are pounding Siena on the boards. That’s the big difference.

I just found a gem on the ESPN comments for the game
"will you people please stop calling this team Mizzou !
It’s Missouri…
It’s insulting to your school and basketball team when you refer to them with
very cheap slang … you guys are smart enough …don’t massacre the language !"
they wear "mizzou" on their chest

If it’s under the marquette basket then it’s a jump ball. If it’s under mizzou’s basket, then mizzou gets a foul. Didn’t you see that in the rules?
I'll take either.
