Pisses me off that he's able to fake an injury to rev up his team.
He needlessy dives into a box, pretends to be hurt and walks to the locker room (comes back into the game a minute letter) and his team is able to feed off that. Not only did he cheat to pass high school, he has extremely poor gamesmanship.

didnt realize he was engulfed so much by the sign. I was surprised he wasn’t cut up real bad…

You know what's classy?
Muck Fizzou shirts. Especially when I see little kids wearing them.

But all the same...
…didn’t even notice this on TV. As far as I was concerned, kU beat us handily, and I’m not bitter.

That injury was total bullshit and turned all the momentum their way
the game was at 4 or 6 points when he did that, and was were about to score. Changed the whole 2nd half
Thank you for finally agreeing. Does nobody else realize that he came into the game a minute later?
"Sometimes when Will Ebner tackles people, I think they are going to explode on impact."
Yes, I realize this.
And, yes, I realize that it changed the momentum of the game.
But the officials stopping the game because a player’s head went through A FUCKING ADVERTISEMENT AND BROKE A FLORESCENT LIGHT doesn’t really bother me that much. Morris was taken off not only because of his head, but because the shards of the advertisement also cut up his wrist.
Yes. It sucked the way things transpired, but pardon me if I can’t seem to work up the outrage that everyone else seems to have easily adopted.
oh yeah, and...

oooh....earmuffs....
I don’t think there’s a grand conspiracy from Bill Self, the officiating crew and/or whichever Morris this was. I’m a little disappointed in our own guys. When Morris crashed into the table, the ball was moved into the backcourt (Denmon had it, I think) and he held on to it waiting on something to happen…which was the ref’s whistle.
Had Denmon immediately thrown the ball to someone down low and kept the play going, I think the ref might have waited until the play was over to blow it dead. But when Denmon (or whoever it was) was dribbling in the backcourt, barely guarded, the ref blew it dead.
But as Ross said, HIS HEAD BROKE THE ADVERTISEMENT. Not only was the douchebag hurt, but there was probably some debris on the floor.
This is why I sometimes hate being a Missouri fan….this year in particular. We lost to Kansas and people are flipping out like the world is over. It’s just one freaking game people.
I'm pretty sure if I flew through an electricly charged piece of plexiglass I would appreciate it if the game were stopped.
Great Oden's Raven I love Mike "The Predator" Dixon!
All I can say is...
…the “BOO HE WAS FAKING IT BUNCHA CHEATERS SCREW THEM!!!” line is a little too close to Marquette fans’ tone at the end of last year’s Mizzou-Marquette game for my taste.

Agreed.

Word
People, please try and show some class. A potential head injury like that is always a good reason to stop the game…these are college kids we’re talking about here, playing a game for the entertainment of adults and some school pride.
As for KU getting a huge momentum swing out of it (and more importantly managing to beat back the Mizzou swarmswarmswarm)…well, you have to believe Self would have called timeout pretty soon anyway, whether the injury happened or not, and as I recall a media timeout happened like twenty seconds after the injury stoppage as well. Point is, there was going to be a significant timeout coming regardless, which was going to allow KU to mentally regroup and challenge Mizzou to keep effectively working the swarm. Flat out, our fellas couldn’t do it. Simple as that.
Nothing reflects worse on a community of sports fans than outright negative comments about opponents based on nothing. There’s a reason people come to this blog to cheer on the Tigers…because it’s a remarkably intelligent and reasonable place to enjoy the games. We should all strive to keep that standard high.

Didn't a player form the K-State-Mizzou game
also crash hard into the advertisement? I can’t remember who but I think it was a Mizzou guy.

It was a Mizzou guy
I want to say J.T., but it’s possible he just went over the table instead of impacting it. I do remember one guy hitting the plexiglas and one going into a broadcaster’s lap.
In related news....did anyone see Scotty Reynolds from Villanova
Take out an entire table of TV monitors and equipment diving for a loose ball? Holy crap, that was the mother of all loose ball dives….you could see technical people and broadcasters throwing up their hands in dismay as all the monitors hit the deck (probably breaking in the process). Awesome.
