This is probably an irrational belief, but I feel like free throws have given me a near heart attack even with about 75% of good Illini teams over the years...Have bad memories of that place from the 1988 NCAA tournament ...
Where the #3 seed Illini - with all of the players who started for the 1989 Final 4 team in key roles (plus Glynn Blackwell and Jens Kujawa) - blew a 10 point lead over Villanova in the last 3 minutes of a second round game (by, among other things, missing the front end of 5 consecutive one and one FT opportunities while Villanova made 4 3FGs).

The double bonus rule change giving 2 shots for FTs upon the 10th foul of the half was not implemented until a couple of years later, and likely would have changed the outcome.
I had great seats forthe '93 game.This is probably an irrational belief, but I feel like free throws have given me a near heart attack even with about 75% of good Illini teams over the years...
DBs has good food. Service blows. Not kid friendly, it's almost a skin bar.The local UofI alumni club used to use DBs in Soulard as a meeting spot and watch party. Would see Steve Roth there a lot.
Not sure if it still is. Haven’t been there in years.

As for pregame spots, are there any EXPLICITLY Mizzou spots I should avoid?

Sadly, Caleco's permanently closed after 25 years at the same location.Wheelhouse has good bar food, a ton of t.v.’s and is close to the stadium. But, it will be crawling with Mizzou fans and it will be very busy. I’m also pretty sure its not 21+ til 10 but I haven’t lived in stl in 3 years.
Caleco’s has decent pizza and is on the other side of downtown (near the old courthouse/arch). Lots of seating and its located under a parking garage so it won’t be a problem getting in and out.
If you don’t mind driving 10-15 minutes past downtown into the city, I’d recommend pi pizza (deep dish-ish) in the central west end (better than Caleco’s).
That neighborhood will also have a lot more going on than downtown. But I’d only recommend that if you were getting in town at least 2-3 hours before the game.
Those places are more casual places which I figured you would be looking for with teenagers. But, if you wanted to get slightly more fancy there’s a ton of great restaurants all over Stl, I’m happy to give you some of those recs too.

Yep, someone had to do it. Like the guy who puts his snow shovel away on March 20th, inviting the blizzard on April 5th.But I really see this being a blood bath as long as Illinois continues to hit their shots at the rate they have been.
You forgot other side of equation. Though Kofi’s scoring (13 an 19) in those two games was at about his season averages, his rebounding (2 and 6) was below. And I believe MO out rebounded Illini in both games. Kofi definitely got better of Tilmon, but not sure he didn’t help contribute to keeping Kofi off boards. I mean how often has Kofi played 30 minutes and gotten only 2 rebounds? And the 6 rebound game was the only game in a string of 14 he wasn’t in double figures.So I was curious about Tilmon. Would he be a difference maker if he had come back for season 5? After a really good game in 2018, here's how he did the last two games with Kofi playing.

There is a great collection of Coca cola memorabilia on the wall. A set of old framed ads with athletes. Red is among them. Pretty cool, along with all the nostalgia in the place.Don't forget the chocolate shake. Served in the old school metal mixing glass
