If he isn't just about the most likeable kid we've had at Mizzou in forever, then I don't know who is. Trying to pick up in the middle of the biggest game of your life. Gotta respect this kid's game (on and off the court). This is from The Trib's notebook today:

Midway through the second half, the Memphis bench was assessed a technical. This time, English sank both foul shots and smiled broadly as he jogged back down the court. As he waited to inbound the ball, he tried to chat up members of the Memphis dance team, but apparently they gave him an earful.

He turned and told them, “Be nice.”

TWISTED HISTORY: Speaking of English, he said Missouri wouldn’t be satisfied with merely making the Elite Eight.

“Do you know who made it to the Elite Eight in 1996, all eight teams? No,” he said. “But you could tell me who won it all in ’96.”

So, who won it all in ’96?

“Was it UConn? I think it was UConn,” English said.

It was Kentucky.

From the Missourian:

Meanwhile, freshman Kim English was hard at work. Not watching film or reading scouting reports, but interviewing his teammates.

English borrowed a microphone and a camera and went into the small rooms where teammates J.T. Tiller, DeMarre Carroll and Matt Lawrence were individually addressing the media.

Playing the part of a serious journalist, English asked his questions in a professional tone.

He asked Carroll about how shaking his long braided hair fires up his teammates. Once Carroll had answered, English was ready with a followup.

“Can you shake your dreads for me?”

Carroll gave in, shaking his head back and forth and letting out a mild yell and a laugh.

English was equally serious when he addressed Tiller.

“It’s well-known that Kim English is the best looking player on the Missouri team. Where do you think you rank?” English asked, somehow maintaining his serious tone.

“I’m always No. 1,” Tiller replied. Once Tiller answered, English lost it, laughing as a big smile spread across his face.
