12/28 Games

trevdv · Dec 28, 2012, 09:25 AM

Some good games tonight, including Mizzou taking on UCLA.

6:30 CST --- Bucknell (11-2) @ Loyola (10-3)
7:00 CST --- Jacksonville (5-7) @ Indiana (11-1)
7:00 CST --- Baylor (8-3) @ Gonzaga (11-1)
9:00 CST --- Missouri (10-1) @ UCLA (9-3)
2:00 CST --- Detroit (7-5) @ Temple (9-2)

Really rooting for Mizzou and the Zags tonight, so that our loss to the Tigers doesn't end up looking "bad," and so our win at Gonzaga keeps looking better and better.

Pretty good games for a Friday.
Must be the holiday week.
Don't think we will be so entertained most Fridays.
Agree with your support of Mizery and the 'Zags

It's nearly impossible for Mizzou to fall far enough for our loss to them to become "bad".

But it is possible for our loss to them to look "better and better" if they keep on winning.

LOL! Well I guess. But there really isn't such a thing as a "good loss".

Ucla out to the early lead on Mizzou

Who is this horrible analyst for the Mizzou-UCLA game?? He sounds like he's 80 yrs old, and just suggested that women's college basketball should have their hoops lowered, so it would be easier for women players to "actually make some baskets."

EDIT: He also just said, "How fun is this?? These teams have physical fitness in them!"

EDIT 2: He also also just said, "Overtime! Let's do it! Oh wait, this is the end of the first half, nevermind." This guy is terrible. :laugh:

WesterveltVictoryCigar · Dec 28, 2012, 08:56 PM

Your first time hearing Bill Walton, eh? You must be a youngster. :laugh:

Your Walton comments, all deserved, got me to the game
Now. . . Could you shut him up?

IlliniFan1988 · Dec 28, 2012, 09:56 PM

Yeesh...Walton is freaking terrible.

FeelYourPaign · Dec 28, 2012, 10:00 PM

All tied with 10.6 secs to go

Dreamteam05 · Dec 28, 2012, 10:19 PM

I forgot how bad an announcer Walton is. He is awful!!! The worst of all time! Why is he back?! Does espn owe him something?!

BennyJ · Dec 28, 2012, 10:20 PM

Mizzou goes down in OT

DrewD007 · Dec 28, 2012, 10:20 PM

Although Mizzou winning would have made our loss look better, I can't help but get satisfaction anytime they lose.

FeelYourPaign · Dec 28, 2012, 10:22 PM

Ugly ugly finish by mizzou
Up 9 with about 4:00 to go and lose in OT with terrible execution

Juice · Dec 28, 2012, 10:22 PM

Makesour loss not look as good of a loss as it seemed at the time

Frank Haith returns to form. Some mind-boggling coaching decisions. Where was that scrambled mind a week ago?
