We at Rock M Nation hope that everybody had a Merry Christmas!
And Mizzou basketball certainly did with their second straight Braggin’ Rights win. Of course, each Christmas is just a little bit better with a win over Illinois.
Hope everyone got the gift they wanted.

YESSIR!
And Mizzou women’s basketball is counting the Top 10 Robin Pingeton moments of this decade. Today was No. 7, and there were a lot of cool NCAA Tournament memories on here.

The win over BYU was Mizzou's first NCAA Tournament win since 2001, and the first of @CoachPingeton's career!#MIZ #OurTownOurTeam pic.twitter.com/cHYTnZgkR9
This was what really jumpstarted the Sophie Cunningham era as the Tigers made the NCAA Tournament four years in a row in her legendary career.
Onto some NBA....and here’s a first look at Jordan Clarkson in a Utah Jazz uniform (and he’ll be playing under Quin Snyder)!

Jordan Clarkson and Michael Porter Jr. will be squaring off more often now as Utah and Denver are division rivals.
MPJ played on NBA Christmas Day for Denver, albeit for only five minutes. He scored five points with one rebound and one assist as the Nuggets fell at home to the Pelicans 112-100. Seriously, play him more, guys.
