Missouri Men's Basketball vs. North Alabama and Colorado (plus a poll)

This will probably be the last dual instalment of this year's series until the NCAA Tournament because the Conference matchups quite honestly have a TON to them.

Why Mizzou is facing a D-II school RIGHT before conference play is beyond me. I am hoping its becuase Mizzou Arena is such a terrifying place to play that no D-I school wants anything to do with Mizzou right before or early on in their conference season.  Mizzou's singular defense tends to mess you up for a game or two after you play it.

# Big Seven Tournament

@ Big Twelve Tournament/Championship

at Columbia, MO: MU leads 56-11

at Boulder, CO: CU leads 34-30

at Neutral Sites: MU leads 12-8

Last trip to Boulder probably ever for the Tigers.  I do NOT see Colorado playing the Tigers ever again!

BUT if Colorado wants to play like that some more THIS season against ALL its home opponents (kU, KSU included) then this loss may not mean much in the long run.  That seems to be the best I EVER remember CU playing at their place. I was more surprised that the students didn't rush the court after such a big win to start their conference season.  Oh well...Up next is Wed. Night vs. the Cornpones at Mizzou Arena for the last time.
