Let’s forget football, if just for today
There will be plenty of time to discuss (and hopefully blissfully forget) the punishment coming Mizzou’s way on Saturday. So for today, let’s celebrate the fact that we’re officially ONE WEEK OUT FROM MIZZOU HOOPS BEING BACK IN FULL SWING!
Happy November.

Here are a few hoops related tips for you right off the jump to get you prepared for our coverage.
- In case you missed it, we have a new writer on staff
Thanks to the folks over at @RockMNation for extending an invite to contribute some words, numbers and mostly intelligible phrases on Mizzou Hoops in the coming months. If you're interested, grab a seat, "it don't cost nuthin."

Our new hoops writer debuted yesterday in the combo guard preview and is already hard at work on his first solo feature. Buckle up because our hoops coverage is going to be stupid good.
- Robin Pingeton’s team has already had some fan-facing exhibitions and is now less than 10 days away from the beginning of their season!

If you haven’t already, give staff contributor Lauren Rosenberg a follow on Twitter. They’ll be covering the Tigers this season as they look to bounce back to winning ways.
Yesterday at Rock M
- In which Aaron breaks down the play that sealed Mizzou’s victory in Nashville
- In which we name 2⁄3 of an obvious MV3, along with another worthy ballot nominee
- In which we preview Mizzou Hoops’ thin set of combo guards
- In which Mizzou is still playing the No. 1 team in the country this week, but why would you forget?
- In which Sam reminds us that Tennessee is pretty good at basketball, like they are pretty much every year at this point
- In which Nate and BK wax poetic about the great Tyler Badie

To highlight the historic season Badie is having, the athletic department also did a little write up on the numbers he’s posting. Spoiler: They’re pretty good!
