Like me. Remember how the tournament committee always seemed to send the Tigers to a far away bracket? Usually out west. And kU always seemed to stay in the Midwest. I haven’t looked at locations yet but damn, I hope we’re in the Midwest. I’d like to go cheer on this team.

That is all.

What's everyone's thought on this game?
I know some talk about match ups, how is this one?

We play so many bodies we just run some of these teams down.

I kind of went crazy with my FD account and have 10 SGP's and 13 individual bets on the game. Not big money as I only have $330 wagered total. Some of the ones I feel best about....

Chiefs to win SB (Placed on the first day of the season) $50 at +1000 to win $550
McKinnon 25+ receiving yards $50 at -102 to win $99.02
Piggybacked the McKinnon bet with 40+ receiving yards for $30 at +235 to win $100.50
Also like the total over 51.5 for $50 at -102 to win $99.02

I like a lot of my parlay's but favorite is the following for $20 at +1108 to win $241.70
McKinnon over 22.5 Receiving Yards
MVS over 36.5 Receiving Yards
Pacheco over r16.5 Receiving Yards
Juju over 37.5 Receiving Yards

interesting to see what other have down.

Less than 3 minutes left in the first quarter and only 2 points. This is really bad. I remember when folks said this would be a better team without Aijha. Something about an addition by subtraction statement.

In wrestling

Just an absurd last few minutes. Thought at first Majak played for TEN. We soldiered through major foul trouble...way to go Gates.

Has us at 24, and he speaks glowingly of Gates.

this could honestly cost Duke a tournament spot

-I'm not one who usually rags on officials, but man, the foul count was ridiculously lopsided in the second half. I think Mizzou fans have a legitimate argument to be mad about the officiating in this one. Some of those calls were really ticky-tack.

-I think the choppiness of the second half really affected Mizzou's flow. Tennessee pressed a lot more and Mizzou had to play at a slower pace. DeAndre Gholston made two really important shots to put the team back up by 10 and the Vols responded with a 10-0 run. Playing at a weird pace just sucked the life out of the team.

-The fouls also really affected the rotations for the Tigers. They didn't go back to that three-forward lineup that was working really well at all in the second half because Kobe and Diarra were perpetually were in foul trouble pretty much from the get-go and they needed to save Aidan Shaw for when that happened. Mabor Majak got minutes out of necessity (although, Mabor made a HUGE block on Zakai Zeigler).

-Credit to Mizzou here: they played through all of it. It would've been easy for Mizzou to fold after Tennessee retook the lead but they made it a one-score game on multiple occasions. I don't think many teams would've been able to pick themselves back up.

-That Kobe layup had a loooottttt of contact on it...

-I'm officially calling him DeAndre "I Got This" Gholston from now on. Holy moly what a shot.

-This wasn't the best game Mizzou has played all year, but it is without a doubt their best win. They'll have a chance to pick up another one at Auburn on Tuesday, I'll be there in person for it.

Tigers up from 55 to 47 at KenPom. Now projected to go 23-8

Aggies are up to 33rd in NET rankings. Half a chance that becomes a quad 1 home game. Another huge opportunity for our bois.

Here's a link to one (of many, I am assuming) Tennessee Message Boards with fan reaction at the end of game. So nice to be on the winning side of these miracle endings for once (twice?) rather than the losing side. I did get a chuckle after some Vols fans thought to blaming the officials for the loss.

The level of difficulty on all of this has to be a 9.99999999 out of 10 at least

I know this defense isn't good but I love the fact they have won quite a few games with teams shooting well above their season average on 3 pointers. It makes me feel good about them running into a hot team and still being able to pull a game out

Gabe already mentioned the huge free throw Mabor Majak made late in yesterday’s game.

I want to recognize the pivotal block Majak made on a drive to the basket by Ziegler in the waning moments.

The ball was ultimately gathered in by Noah Carter, who got fouled by a Tennessee player in the process.

Carter calmly sank both free throws, and allowed Mizzou to climb within 1 point of Tennessee (with the clock stopped).

That sequence of events was a potential 4-point swing in Mizzou’s favor, and integral to the hard fought victory.

Kudos to Mabor Majak for being ready to contribute when called upon.

So happy for this team and this coaching staff.

P.S. It was nice to see Coach Nutt recognize Mabor Majak in the locker room celebration video.

Gave me chills.
