Kansas State 78, Missouri 68: Physical Wildcats Catch Fire, Drop Tigers For Second Time

COLUMBIA, MO - FEBRUARY 21:  Head coach Frank Haith of the Missouri Tigers reacts from the bench during the game against the Kansas State Wildcats on February 21, 2012 at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Missouri.  (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)

Heading into the season, we feared Mizzou could be done in by foul trouble and minimal size. Only Kansas State has made them pay for their obvious deficiencies, but tonight at Mizzou Arena, they did it for the second time. The Wildcats dominated the interior in the first half on their way to a 10-point halftime lead, and in the second half, with Mizzou taking more chances defensively, they were able to pass their way to a series of good looks from 3-point land. They were 6-for-9 from long range on the night.

Mizzou made things interesting late, cutting KSU's lead to just three points, but every time they had a shot to come all the way back, the rims were unkind. K-State made just enough free throws late to keep their distance, and they pulled their second upset of a Top 10 team in just four days.

Mizzou falls to 25-3 on this blessed season and can still claim a share of the Big 12 title with an admittedly unlikely win at Lawrence this Saturday. Consider this your cute babies and puppies thread and get ready for Saturday.

That this performance doesn’t happen again for the rest of the season…like Southside said…a perfect storm. You live by the 3, you die by the 3, today we died…we’ve got better shooters than that…looking forward to Saturday

Just checked the box score, and wow.

That was abysmal across the board. We shot 25% from 3 and missed a third of our free throws. I’m going to go ahead & chalk this one up as an exception to this year’s rule.

I will say that this game felt uncomfortably like the type of losses we’ve experienced in the last few years. Even a slightly below average shooting night would probably have won this game, but we just refused to take advantage of our many opportunities.

Maybe I'm confused

I’ve been assuming that if we were to sweep kansas and tie with them record wise we would win conference opposed to sharing it as we would own the head-to-head record with both wins. Does the head-to-head matchup not matter?

by kcchiefs91 on Feb 21, 2012 8:08 PM CST reply actions  

I see, I guess I’ve just been ignorant of that for a while. Oh well, just gotta focus on saturday and if we beat them who knows what could happen. Kansas may lose tomorrow or maybe at OSU after we play them. Just win and see what happens.

by kcchiefs91 on Feb 21, 2012 8:13 PM CST up reply actions  

Nope

If two teams tie, the conference awards two trophies. Only one team can get the #1 seed, but ku will still claim it as a conference title. Just as they have 4 times in their “7 straight” run.

by shaffe on Feb 21, 2012 8:09 PM CST up reply actions  

Well only 3 out of the 7, actually

And 2 of those times they beat the other champion (Texas) in the tourney final, so that’s pretty legit.

by 2.1 seconds left on Feb 21, 2012 8:12 PM CST up reply actions  

My bad

But you know they’ll still claim it even if Mizzou wins on Saturday. We need aTm or OSU to pull off a miriacle for us if we don’t want to hear “8 straight” out of their pieholes. Especially because nobody will be left to step up to them in the B12.

As hard as this was to watch

It seemed like there were SO many times after Dixon hit that three with about 6:30 left to get it back to even and we just went ice cold. That’s what was most frustrating, as bad as it seemed mizzou was playing, they really were right on the verge of tying it up then taking the lead. KSU just shot the lights out. Getting beat by them twice(once being on our home court) is no fluke, but my god they could not miss.

I usually feel pretty intimidated going to kansas. Don’t know why but I feel like mizzou really has a good shot at taking them down at their place. Though I think for it to happen, its gonna have to be with the 3 ball(which sounds scary after watching tonight)

So I would just like to share some thoughts

1.) The league title is still in play.
2.) A number one seed is still in play. Win in Lawrence and win the Big XII tournament and I think we get one. There are still two weeks to go before March Madness.
3.) The ultimate goal should be to advance to the Final Four. Sure, an outright league title on our way out the door would be sweet, but I would happily trade that for a championship.

He really couldn't

He was saying today on Petro’s show that Steve would get a reputation for flopping and that calls would start going against him, but none of Steve’s fouls fell into that category tonight. I personally thought Steve yelled a bit too much after his fouls. Yeah, some of them were questionable, but you just have to take it some times.

My apologies for two reasons

My overconfidence in the Trifecta thread tempted angry sports gods, and I actually thought Gottlieb was enjoyable tonight. It’s as if he decided to turn off his contrarian, rebel rousing tendencies and provide commentary for a game for once!

The game sucked, but they were ON and we were OFF. I don’t fault our D as much as others have; they made a metric buttload of tough shots as well as almost every opportunistic shot. If KSU plays like this from here on out, they’re a Sweet 16 team at worst.

We missed layups and open 3s, and took some very dumb shots, so they win, we lose.

According to WarrenNolen.com

Mizzou’s RPI is 15. The loss dropped the Tigers 5 spots in the RPI. And that will most likely be the final RPI. Also, I wanted to assess the Teams “around” us in terms of losses and here is the breakdown (this could change depending on the MSU-UK game which MSU leads in the second half).

1 loss: Kentucky, Murray State and Syracuse
2 losess: None
3 losses: Harvard, Missouri
4 losses: Duke, Middle Tennessee State, New Mexico, North Carolina, Wagner, Weber State, Wichita State
5 losses: Baylor, Creighton, Drexel, Gonzaga, k*****, Marquette, Michigan State, Nevada, Ohio State, Oral Roberts, St. Louis, St. Mary’s, Southern Miss, Temple

You can bet that the ALL Top 5 “protected” seeds will come from this group.

SEC-fried Chicken Gizzards

Ingredients

1 pound chicken gizzards, rinsed
2 stalks celery, cut into chunks
1 onion, cut into chunks
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons celery salt, divided
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
3 cups oil for deep frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
Directions

Place the chicken gizzards, celery, onion, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon of celery salt into a saucepan, and pour in enough water to cover the gizzards by 1 inch. Bring the gizzards to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Pour in more water during simmering, if needed, to keep gizzards covered. Remove the gizzards to a bowl, discard the celery and onion, and reserve the broth.
Season the gizzards with 1/2 teaspoon of celery salt, the seasoned salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, and hot sauce, stirring to combine well. Pour 1/3 cup of the reserved broth over the seasoned gizzards, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more, stirring often. (Save or freeze the remaining broth for another use, if desired.)
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Place the flour in a plastic bag, and pour in the gizzards with their seasoning. Shake the bag to thoroughly coat the gizzards with flour. Gently lower about 1/4 of the gizzards per batch into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Drain the gizzards on paper towels, and serve hot.

We had this for dinner tonight.

I package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
2 lbs lean ground sirloin
3/4 cups Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
2 large eggs
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup ketchup

Combine.
Bake at 350 for one hour or until done.

My daughter won’t eat it but the rest of the family likes it.

Cheers!

Exactly

There’s nothing I want more than an eighth straight conference championship. But we haven’t won it yet, and MU hasn’t lost it yet. Let’s win the last four games before we celebrate winning the last four games.

It could be worse, you could be like me

In addition to being a big Mizzou fan, I’m a Northwestern alum. A must-win game against the #13 team at home that was there for the taking, but instead manage to blow two chances to take the lead in the final minute and then lose in OT. (Making it two OT losses to Michigan in addition to two other conference losses by two points or less, btw.)

So yeah, not a good night.

Maybe you should just go all the way and cheer for the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Pirates

I might be a masochist...

But not that big of a masochist. At least the Cardinals keep me (somewhat) sane.

Yeah

I think the Kansas City Mizzou fans have to be up there for most tortured in recent history… :(

Also agrees. Being from Columbia now living in KC it is awful.

I also root for Chelsea

3-1 Champions league loss this afternoon prior to the Mizzou game. So yeah, rough day.

Took my frustrations out on my bowling league

Shot 290-222-246…just wish the Tigers would have shot that well today.

I'm a nomad that cheers on MIZZOU from all around the world.
