Mizzou 70, Texas A&M 51: Mike Dixon And Tigers Utilize Patented First-Half Run
by Bill C. on Jan 16, 2012 6:47 PM CST
in Mizzou Basketball 11-12
Email
PrintFor stretches, this looked like the typical Mizzou-A&M game. Mizzou was missing jumpers they typically make, A&M was playing hard and strong, and with 7:30 left in the first half, the Aggies led, 17-14.
And then, led by Mike Dixon, Mizzou went on a 28-2 run.
The Mizzou offense would dry up again after that -- the Tigers scored just one point over a 7:15 span -- but behind Ricardo Ratliffe and more strong rebounding from Marcus Denmon, Mizzou once again pulled away. They went on an 11-2 run over five minutes to put the game away.
Mizzou is now 17-1, 4-1 in conference. They will be tied for second place in the conference behind the loser of tonight's Baylor-Kansas game, and they will head to Waco to take on the third-ranked Bears Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m.
You know the drill by now: Study Hall tomorrow, celebration today. WHAT SAY YOU, DR. SOYOYE???

syracuse appears to be angry that they had to wait for our game to end.

This is my first extended look of the Orange
My initial reaction is that I still think Baylor is the best team in the country, but it’s very close.
syracuse is only giving 14 points in that game.
and pitt just got boat raced at home by rutgers. oh, to be a gambling man again.

Me: HAHAHAHAHA YOU REALLY GOT US ON THAT ONE. MAKING FUN OF OPPOSING FANBASES BECAUSE OF TINY GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IS ALWAYS HILARIOUS.
Andrew: I KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I?

I will also note that when AC banned me over there, he falsely tried to claim it was because he found it really classless and unnecessary and low to make jokes about KU’s academic standing. Good to know they are as hypocritical as they are thin-skinned over at that echo chamber.

I made one joke about a KU education
in response to a poster (who routinely refers to MU fans as “slavers”) that claimed Faurot was only “half full” for the Miami-OH game this year. Clearly I was the classless one.
IN any event, whether you like it or not is one thing; whether it deserves the banhammer is another.

This bracketologist has been cracking me up
For the last month, he’s been projecting Texas to be a 2 seed (!), and had Mizzou as a 6 seed as recently as two weeks ago (!!). People have been giving him trouble about Texas, and he keeps saying “they’re going to put it together and win the Big 12 Tournament”. So when Mizzou beats Texas soundly, what does he do? Moves Texas to the 3 line (the highest 3, by the way), and graciously puts Mizzou as a 4.
http://basketballpredictions.blogspot.com/
He must really like the LHN, that’s all I can say.
In my stop through Texas this weekend...
I found myself thoroughly enjoying the Longhorn Network.
Of course, they were just showing multiple re-airings of the Mizzou/Texas basketball game. Had I known that to be the case, maybe there wouldn’t have been as much cause for consternation when the LHN was announced…

Well I'm talking to motivation wise for the coming game.
If they win tonight do they go home complacent and we still one or if the lose do they play pissed off
In that sense, I think you have to pull for a Baylor win
