MUtigers.com: Braggin' Rights Up for Grabs Thursday
The Missourian: Missouri prepares to grind it out against Illinois
KC Star: Missouri's Haith eager for first Braggin' Rights game
PowerMizzou: High stakes Braggin' Rights
Chicago Tribune: Missouri strong test for Illinois
The Trib: Tigers hope to attract St. Louis' top talentMissouri over the past 25 years has had success convincing standouts from the latter to spend their college careers in Columbia. Kansas City natives Marcus Denmon, Mike Dixon and Steve Moore have all played integral roles during the Tigers’ 11-0 start this season. Leo Lyons, from just across the state line in Kansas City, Kan., was a major factor in MU’s Elite Eight run in 2009. Before that, the Tigers got great contributions from players such as Anthony Peeler, Jevon Crudup and Kareem Rush from the west side of the state.
But the path from St. Louis to Columbia isn’t quite as well-worn, and the ones who have taken it — Jimmy McKinney, Kalen Grimes and Matt Lawrence in the last 10 years — are outnumbered by the ones that got away.
Last season alone, St. Louis-area prep standouts Bradley Beal, B.J. Young and Ben McLemore — all considered top-50 national recruits — signed with other schools, with Beal landing at Florida, Young at Arkansas and McLemore at Kansas, where he is ineligible this season.
All made their decisions before Haith was hired, but he’s trying to avoid that happening again in the future.

Fox Sports MW: Tigers unbeaten, No. 9 with Frank Haith
PowerMizzou: Tiger Mailbagminxcat asks: How much credit do you give Coach Haith for the season this team is having? Do you think that Coach Anderson would have had the same or similar results?
The answers are really independent of each other. There is NO DOUBT that Frank Haith deserves an immense amount of credit. He has a team that collapsed down the stretch last season that lost its second-best player and is now unbeaten and in the top ten, leading the country in scoring margin. It's the same kids as last year, minus Bowers, Kreklow and Safford. Sure, the kids have gotten better, but Haith deserves a lot of credit for that.
As far as Anderson, who knows what would have happened if he was still here? Nobody. There's no way to answer it. It's popular to heap on the guy and discredit everything he did and thank him for leaving so Missouri could get Frank Haith right now. Well, sorry, but you can't do that. He recruited every player on this team right now. He did a lot of good things for Missouri basketball. Hate him for how he left, but that doesn't change the fact that his five years here had far more ups than downs. - Jabari Brown
The Trib (Steve Walentik): Transfer Brown helps balance classes - Did You Know Their Dad Roomed With Mike Anderson?
Post-Dispatch: Presseys adjust to new system at MizzouPhil Pressey said his parents had urged them just to concentrate on school as the coaching job was being filled. When Haith was hired, he said he spoke to him immediately and felt they "kind of clicked from the start."
Asked if he had considered joining Anderson, Matt Pressey said, "No, no, no, no." [...]
While the Presseys appear to have prospered by staying and playing in a more structured system, each seems sensitive to even mild suggestions that Haith could be coaching them better than Anderson did.
Asked about their improvement this season they spoke with caution, careful to use words that avoided implying one coach or one system was better than another.
"It's another year we're all together" as players, Phil Pressey said.
Asked about his brother's apparent advancement, Matt Pressey said, "I feel like it's the chemistry. ... This year, he pretty much knows what person can do what."

I don't follow Mizzou roundball as much as football
But I will be tuning in tonight to watch the Braggin’ Rights game. I’m hoping they do the right things to convince me and my still skeptical Fiance that this team can be a contender.
Your fiance isn't a Jayhawk, is she?
Because we have too much of that around here as it is.

Early links!
I am in agreement about praise/blame for Haith/Anderson.
Either way, let’s go beat the Whining Illini for the third straight year.

I'll admit, I am a huge wuss when it comes to watching the games.
I actually enjoy the hell out of games like William and Mary last Sunday. I am excited and eager to go to games like the Western Illinois game at Faurot last September. I like seeing the backup players get some time and I’ll stay for the whole length of the game despite how much the Tigers are up by. Though its nice to have big games like tonight’s game, its just easier on the nerves to go into one and not worry about losing.
Meth - when you need SEC speed and you need it NOW
I'm right with you
I love the easy games. When I’m not worried about what will happen, I spend much more time paying attention to specific players, coverages, etc.
it helps that in the blowouts, there's still so much outstanding team play
dixon’s latest game notwithstanding, the tigers have been so balanced on offense, and I think that makes the big wins more entertaining than seeing one guy light up the scoreboard. Reminds me a bit of the 2007 football team.

I always look forward to seeing the walk-on bench come in
Rossburg, Sutton and Jones. I am always rooting for the team to increase the margin so that they could come in earlier. And so far, so good.

Totally agree.
My girlfriend complains about the basketball games this year, saying they’re not as much fun when they’re not close. I reminded her of football season, all the bad words I said during those games, then I looked her in the eye and said “Do you really want that Adam back?”

That was my point about the Indy Bowl in yesterday's Roundtable.
Yes, Mizzou’s last Indy Bowl appearance resulted in one of the most exciting wins in the program’s history. But I’d rather just take a boring 24-point win every time.

Because compared to what is important on the E! channel, I am a genius. The same principle can be applied to MTV and VH1 rather seamlessly…maybe even moreso.

Wouldn’t eating gumbo increase your body weight, thereby making it an unachievable goal?

Look, I'm not a chicken little doomsday type guy
that’s not my personality. But, uh, yeah, the sky is going to fall. We are all happy that Evan has come back to the Tigers. It really is great. But he’ll be on Campus in 2012. The Mayans predicted the world would end in 2012 (don’t try to use facts to tell me this isn’t true). In 2012, in Columbia Missouri Evan and Sheldon may line up against each other and collide. The only logical result of that is a giant earth quake, which will disrupt the Large Hadron Collider, cause a black hole and the world will collapse upon itself.
So way to go Pinkel, you couldn’t make half time adjustments, couldn’t take us to the next level, settled for mediocrity and caused the end of the world.
