Ok. Let’s move on the the Bearcats’ opponent. That would be Missouri, whose press kit mentions how they play the "Fastest 40 Minutes in Basketball ." Media members, myself, included, converted this into "40 Minutes of Hell," and off we went.
"Whose slogan is that, ours or theirs?" Kilpatrick asked me. "I like that slogan, because we have hell, too. So it’s cool. We can deal with that. I mean, throughout the whole year, you play Big East teams, and they bring 40 minutes of hell, so we’re used to that."
"We’re from the Big East," McClain said. "They ain’t seen no hell yet. We’re hungry. We’re hungry. People still don’t respect that we’re even here."
"I mean, that’s what they say," Wright added. "We’ve got to go off what they say. We’re gonna see tomorrow. We’re just gonna come to play, and if they give us 40 minutes of hell like they say, we’ve just got to control it and turn it into 40 minutes of heaven I guess. We’re in the Big East, man. You kind of get used to the pressure of playing hard teams."

- Practice Reports!!
PowerMizzou: Wednesday practice reportEarly in practice, the offense lines up under-center to work on running drills for the defense. One aspect that's stood out to me is Brad Madison's effectiveness against the run. Last year, he was known more for his pass rushing, but as the starter this year, he's going to have to be just as stout against the run. Even on those rushing plays, he was constantly getting past the tackle and bringing down the running back in the backfield.

Oh no, Cincy plays in the Big East!
Let’s forfeit!
Since I’ll be at the game, I cannot post this cute on the game thread for karma’s sake, my daughter meeting Truman last night:

OMG OMG ITS MARCH MADNESS OMG!
Annoying You Since 1986
Those quotes are near reminiscent of Matteral Richardson
Let’s hope the end result is the same.
"I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius."
"What's misunderstood about you?"
"Nobody thinks I'm a genius."

Someone should point out
that when 1/3 of your conference schedule is against DePaul/Seton Hall/Providence/Rutgers/South Florida, and you don’t play any of the top teams in your conference twice, that your schedule may not be the gauntlet that you think it is.

with only UCONN and Cincy in the West
If Mizzou beats both teams do you think the NCAA will just make it a Final 3 this year if no Big East team makes it? I think the West Bracket would just have to stop playing games.
Fixed
“We’re from theBig Eastconference that won half as many games as it should have and saw 7 out of 8 teams under perform their seeding in last year’s NCAA tournament,” McClain said. “They ain’t seen no hell yet. We’re hungry. We’re hungry. People still don’t respect that we’re even here.”
"I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order. Like they should be."

Mr. Burns: Oh no Smithers! It’s the Big East!
Smithers: haha
Big East: Stop that!
Mr. Burns: Don’t let the Big East get me!
Big East: Stop it!
Smithers: Be careful Sir! haha

so, i know you're through linking the stlpd for awhile, but i just have to include this tidbit.
from the article titled “mizzou’s english finds serenity”
It’s “really a hard pill to swallow, knowing we lost to (Kansas) by four and I only had three (points), or (that) we lost to K-State by (10) and I only had four,” he said. "That’s really hard, because I’ve never had a good game that we lost. In my career.
pretty much sums up mizzou’s season…

I agree
he needs to play well if we are to win games in this tournament.
We get him going 1-9, we’ll lose.
Jeff Goodman of Fox claims
Missouri has tightest locker room in DC. So, smallest? Narrow in beam? Hate the connotation that Butler’s is the loosest because they were playing hangman on the whiteboard. Perhaps Mizzou is focused?
What do you mean I can't retire at 32?
In an article concerning Newton's wonderlick
(21, BTW) they state that Gabbert got a 42 on his. So, not only does he have a laser-rocket arm, great hair, but his intelligence is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
What do you mean I can't retire at 32?
"He's too smart!!!"
I love that bit as much as I love Spencer Hall’s writing.

"What is Blaine Gabbert's Wonderlic score?"
“42.”
“No, that doesn’t work. We’ll need a bigger computer.”
