I get what you’re saying but wouldn’t a two point loss on the road to a good team be a better indicator of how “good” this team is than squeaking by the worst team in the conference on our home court?

I’ll take slightly under, considering we have been off for a week. I’ll guess a comfy 8pt win

Honestly besides Nebraska and Northwestern, it’s hard to tell. I mean OSU was #2 like three weeks ago and they’re gonna be unranked. Rutgers is apparently good. IU sucked until now they don’t. I have a feeling the conference SOC will be pretty darn even across the board when it’s all said and...

I can’t shake this feeling that Mizzou, as one of the worst 3pt shooting teams in the country, rains 3s all game on us. Really really hope this looks like the Michigan game for us in terms of defensive game plan and execution

Honestly this seems pretty straight forward to me. Illinois is great when they can get the ball inside, and they’re excellent in transition offense. But we are a poor shooting team and as a result, fairly inefficient in the half court game. Mizzou is very good defensively, but struggles on...

I don’t know... it’s a really odd community of fans. If you can follow the threads (and seriously, good luck...) it’s funny how people interact with him. They don’t seem to think too highly of him either, openly mocking him for his overcharged defense of Mark at any perceived slight or...

If you want a laugh you can peruse his old activity. http://www.tigerboard.com/boards/dosearch.php?board_id=1&terms=ASecondChance&x=14&y=1 Unfortunately that website must’ve been designed in 1996 by a high school student because it’s so bad I can’t figure out how to actually pull up his...

Haha his dad actually was on there for a year, posting under ASecondChance. He quit because they realized who he was and mocked him (apparently MS and his dad have a bit of a reputation around Mizzou fans as well lol). But the best part was they figured out it was him because looking through his...

It’s inaccurate. It’s up to the individual site manager for each school. Don’t know if Mizzou even has a strong 247 presence. Twitter confirms they’ve had signings

Or more realistically, if we finish out of the top 5 in conference, we aren’t playing in the NIT

Watching Pickett dice us up last year still haunts me. How did that happen? Like, how did the entire game happen? I just don’t understand lol.

Smith has been far better than I’d expected. I’d really hoped he’d flop horribly.

As a Butler season ticket holder (wife is an alumni and we live near campus), this makes me very very happy. Martin has a pretty deep roster and he can get them to play D. But he’s got absolutely no impact guys. Just a roster full of solid role players. And he can’t coach offense at all. At...

So what’s up with Adam Miller. There were rumors earlier in the week that he could be announcing soon... then Monday.... then Monday at the NIKE store in Chicago... and I don’t think I’ve heard anything since. Anyone know what’s up?

I hate to be the turd in the punch bowl but I don’t think you can play Giorgi and Kofi much together. Offensively it’s a nightmare. Giorgi clearly still can’t hit 3s so he’s never going to suck his man out away from the lane. I just don’t see how you ever manage to maintain spacing with both of...
