Missouri 71, Oklahoma 68: Tigers Survive Hot-Shooting Sooners
by Bill C. on Feb 6, 2012 8:06 PM CST
in Mizzou Basketball 11-12
Email
PrintAs seems to be the custom when Missouri plays in the state of Oklahoma, Mizzou encountered a team shooting over its heads, partly because of slow defensive rotations early on, and partly because basketball makes no sense sometimes. Steven Pledger and Carl Blair combined to make seven of 11 3-pointers, Sam Grooms shot 7-for-9 from the field, and Oklahoma was able to keep things close in a slow-paced game. Mizzou played the entire second half with the lead, however, and despite some offensive issues late, they survived when Pledger actually missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
In the end, Mizzou did indeed survive, style points or no. Marcus Denmon scored 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting, Ricardo Ratliffe had 15 points and 10 rebounds, Mike Dixon scored 13, and Kim English made an enormous 3-pointer of his own with about a minute left. Survive, advance, et cetera. The game played out like the trap game we feared it would be, but the Tigers figured out a way to win anyway. Now it's time to get ready for Baylor on Saturday.

I think I figured out how they make it
and possibly why. Their low- and non- alcoholic beers are made, as all others are, by applying light heat to the beer under semi-vacuum conditions. This causes the alcohol, which has a significantly lower boiling point than water, to be extracted from the beer.
I imagine that the alcohol from a product like O’Douls is now being injected directly into Bud Light Platinum. I’m sure Budweiser was using this alcohol for a purpose already, now it’s likely they are putting most of it into one product. Perhaps they will even siphon some away from other products as well, if there is enough success with this one.
My apologies for nerding out!

That shot reminded me of Piatkowski's shot
that rimmed out in 1994 to preserve our perfect season. Great win, especially since the refs basically decided to ignore the rules to give OK enough time.
Great win
But my Steelers just hired Haley….

with Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, etc
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
meh, coaches screw talent up all the time.
he didn’t. wonder why a lot of chiefs fans don’t blame the players on the field instead of everyone else.
/not directed at anyone here
//has had enough trouble today already
Lamentations 3:22-23
Generally
A good idea to figure the Pittsburgh Steelers know what they’re doing in the hiring department, no?
Oh I do, and it wasn't so much that he was a terrible gameday coach
he just wasn’t a good one, and he was an asshole, and the whole “Scott Pioli bugged my cellphone” crap was a little ridiculous
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
It was pretty clear that by the end of his tenure, Haley was in passive-aggressive mode
There was simply no excuse for not starting Orton over Palko, and Haley had a history of dumb play calling and stupid gambles. The Chiefs actually have pretty good talent on the field, Haley just didn’t know what to do with it.
"You have to remember, basketball to the University of Miami is like football to the University of Kansas." - Kim English
i don't like or dislike the chiefs
and i don’t think they have good talent on the field. and yes, i watch them fairly often living in sw mo when the packers aren’t playing. i guess we’ll see what crennel can do with ’em.
Lamentations 3:22-23
if you don't think they have talent
then you and I disagree more than slightly on the subject
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
it wouldn't be the first time. :-)
i think there’s talent there, just not enough to make a run. though your division is not good.
Lamentations 3:22-23
they have some holes, yes
but I think if they were to sign a decent QB and a speedster wideout, they would do very well
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
I'm really (and probably unrealistically) hoping for Manning

Scott Pioli
"You have to remember, basketball to the University of Miami is like football to the University of Kansas." - Kim English
Haley did nothing to dispel Pioli's belief that only the Patriots understand football
"You have to remember, basketball to the University of Miami is like football to the University of Kansas." - Kim English
Well, Pioli hasn't done much to dispel the notion
…that Bill Belichick/Tom Brady are almost entirely responsible for the Patriots’ understanding of football. Deadspin of all sources actually put the “Patriot Way” crap perfectly.
(I swear half their success is based around the fact that they are the only team in the NFL that actually manages the clock right for the most part. I swear NFL teams would be better off hiring some kid who has played Madden too much to make end of half/game clock decisions. That and beat it into these people’s heads to stay in bounds when you are trying to burn clock.)
Not afraid to nitpick
It's the genius syndrome
Success requires having the right people in the right place at the right time, but when it happens, everyone thinks they are the reason. Pioli suffers from Smartest Man in the Room syndrome and he needs to get over it.
"You have to remember, basketball to the University of Miami is like football to the University of Kansas." - Kim English
Well I don't think the chiefs have the talent
Without Charles, Berry and Tony M…. I have no idea how you spell the TE’s last name
i'd even include bowe and hali in that group.
still not enough, imo, especially without a top tier quarterback.
Lamentations 3:22-23
I think he was just referencing the players who were on IR last season
I believe in the The Black & Gold Standard
The Chiefs need help on offensive and defensive line
Their linebackers and secondary are great. If Charles comes back they have a strong running game, good receivers. They aren’t going to get a new qb, but even modest improvement on the o-line would be enough to make Cassel a game manager. As weak as the AFC West is, the Chiefs absolutely could make a run next year.
"You have to remember, basketball to the University of Miami is like football to the University of Kansas." - Kim English
not to speak down,
but when i said “run” i meant more like “win a playoff game”. anybody could win that division next year. btw, y’all should be sending norv turner a christmas card every year.
Lamentations 3:22-23
The Chiefs haven't won a playoff game in 20 years
Six head coaches, two GM’s, two owners. There are more fundamental issues there than one year’s talent.
"You have to remember, basketball to the University of Miami is like football to the University of Kansas." - Kim English
Just wait till he insists he has this really good quarterback he's worked with that the Steelers have to go get.
Tyler Palko
by B_W on Feb 6, 2012 8:34 PM CST up reply actions
Offensive line and
QB need to be addressed but there’s talent.
Defensively, even with 5 blowouts, we were the 12th overall ranked defense. I don’t think that happens without having “good talent on the field”.
Also, it’s hard to judge an offense when Tyler Palko is installed as the QB.

Haley is awesome.
He’s just hard to work with and makes poor personnel decisions. But if you can get beyond those he’s a really good coach.

Anyone else feel like the slow down offense hurts us?
Our team / offense is based mostly around making the defense guard us for long lengths of time, and good movement of the ball and people until we get the defense out of position and find an open shot. The slow down kind of negates all the natural movement in our offense and makes us much easier to guard.

I'm just thinking of the other times we've slowed it down / ran four corners.
Just seems like our chances of getting a good shot decrease.

I'm not a fan of MU slowing it down.
We don’t seem to get good shots, nor, does it seem, rebounds either. Folks just seem to stand around watching the ball-handler. Our slowdown really breaks our flow of the game.
Our “regular” half-court offense moves and shares the ball and finds the open shot and generally uses up 25 seconds or more. I don’t think there’s much value in a slow down to gain a few seconds when we lose our flow, don’t get the best shot and don’t get the board. It’s almost like a prevent defense is football…..

Anyone read what Coach K said about current college basketball?
“The only thing that might change it is what the NBA does,” Coach K said on SiriusXM’s Inside College Basketball on Monday afternoon. “We’re slaves to what the NBA does with the early-entry. If they ever put that in on a two-year basis, you’ll see more dominant teams.”
Didn’t the NBA used to have no rule at all, so that players could go right out of high school? His argument seems to me to run counter to the facts.
Well before that rule
All the players that were NBA ready wen’t straight there, so college teams were all players that weren’t ready for the NBA, who stayed for at least 2 years.
yeah, that's a good point, but his argument seems to be that
teams aren’t as good now because the good players aren’t staying in school, which they weren’t in the past either, in face they were leaving earlier.
That really only applies to top schools, I think
Mid-majors are doing better because they get to keep their guys for four years, while schools like Kansas have a handful of players with one and done mercs mixed in.
"You have to remember, basketball to the University of Miami is like football to the University of Kansas." - Kim English
So his argument would be the NBA needs to help schools like Duke and Kentucky
be more dominant by not giving them the option of getting the one-and-dones so they can take the players the mid-majors currently have instead? That seems silly to me, if Duke really thought they’d be more dominant with those players, they’d take them in the first place.
I had not seen it during the game
..but classy stuff from our group trying to pick up Pledger after the final missed 3. He did everything he could to keep OU in it at the end, great effort from him and nice for our boys to recognize that.

One of my FB friends
just posted about how lame Mizzou that we have to make a t-shirt when we beat kU. Her post before that was that she had just found a Dorito in her bra.

My wife got a Facebook message
from some lady she met at a work training like two jobs ago that was filled with Big 12 hate for Mizzou. This chick went to OSU, so decided to fire off a bunch of random hatred at Mizzou just before the Fiesta Bowl.
I asked her why she would remain friends with someone who would act like that & who she really didn’t know. Her answer: “She’s getting married soon, and I want to see the pictures before I unfriend her.”

Did she see the Georgia Tech football t-shirts?
It seems most schools like to make shirts when they beat kU, even if they are our rival. It must be something about the beakers, not Mizzou.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

I don't go quite as far as the author
Considering how easily the 3’s were dropping for him all night, I might have celebrated too.

Thanks for the tip, all!
I’m going on an unsubscribe binge from the beakers, at least until basketball season is over. This includes the person who posted “fuck Mizzou” and then explained that she was not whining about the loss, because she is rock chalk jayhawk for life.

What's even better than beating Oklahoma is we might as well have just beat Kansas again.
I’m sure all their fans were glued to the TV just hoping for the Tigers to drop that game and were cursing at the ending. Now they get another evening of bad feelings while they hold their breath knowing that their team is on the spot this week against the Bears. The pressure is on the Jayhawks.
