The funny thing is in the last couple minutes I wanted the win bad. I was running scenarios through my head, best I could really conceive under a minute was overtime. With Diarra hodge fouled out and kobe on 4 that didn't seem great but better then a loss. Not even sure how he misses one then foul or lane violation. But it sure seemed improbable

And shove it up your ass

That’s all I’ve got, kids. I’m too stunned to process anything else.

Just…wow.

Arky was finally able to welcome Nick Smith Jr back and then promptly took a giant deuce at home Vs State.

Difficult end to the season for our friends south of us. Math not looking great for them

Putting aside Gholston heave for a W (if he's in the parking lot he can shoot from now on), other reasons that shot was huge:

1) Quad 1 road wins are nice. Mizzou has one now. This team, barring losing out, moved from should be in to near lock with this win. It can lock it up on the plains this week.
2) Mizzou is now tied for 4th in the conference. #5 is Auburn, so the mid-week tilt is massive for a double bye. Winning this game all but guarantees a double bye barring a complete disaster against the remaining schedule, and could potentially take Mizzou up to a 7 or 6 seed for the dance. This game move from nice to have to absolutely huge to accomplish stretch goals in year one with Gates.
3) Tennessee still plays Bama, @UK, @A&M, Arky, and @Auburn. There are likely at least two, maybe three losses sitting there. Tennessee is still a game ahead of Mizzou, but Mizzou now has a tiebreaker against a by far more favorable schedule. Mizzou will likely tie or finish ahead of Tennessee with this win, and has some breathing room against the other teams in the middle of the pack for a double bye. Mizzou likely cannot catch A&M, even if Mizzou wins in Columbia later this month. A&M would remain up three with six to play with a win against LSU tonight. Thus, we want A&M to win every game except for the Mizzou game in Columbia.

That shot basically changed the course of this season from happy to get in to the dance and fans are very happy with the year 1 results to a possible double bye and realistic shot at the second weekend in the dance and fans get everything they dreamed of and a lot more, all in the span of 4 seconds.

How. Many. Times.

How many time have we sat here lamenting a blown opportunity? Lamenting getting ref balled? Lamenting a crazy sequence going against Mizzou?

Tonight feels monumental. Yes, it’s one game. But I can’t remember a time seeing the Tigers get punched in the chin that hard and respond. They were ref balled. They had to deal with a kid that couldn’t miss from three in the second half. They had to play a damned walk-on down the stretch due to foul trouble.

Didn’t matter. Stuck with it. Found a way. Damned if that wasn’t one of the most cathartic wins I’ve ever experienced as a Mizzou fan. Everything pointed to that game feeling like yet another kick in the nuts. But something about this regime feels different.

It may not come to fruition this year. Or next. But I think we are in for a special ride. Jump on board. There will be a bump or two along the way. But I think we all will like where this train is stopping.

I can’t help but laugh. I have a tradition where every time Gholston gets the ball I start saying “no, no, no”, while deep down, I know he is going to throw up some ridiculous shot and make it. What a win! MIZ

Who is Tenner?

they beat anyone special this year. How do we match up with them? How do they handle the ball?

Big?

Insane to outscore the best defense in the country. They are still number #1 too which is how good they are

Basketball is so much more fun with them.

If Dennis Gates has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Dennis Gates has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Dennis Gates has only one fan then that is me. If Dennis Gates has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Dennis Gates, then I am against the world.

Do not care if this clogs up the board. MI ****ING Z BABY!!!!!!!!!

Everybody drop a "Happy Birthday" for @JHamilton23 🥳⬇️

Going from last team out (us-today) to ranked on Monday. What a year and how fun is this.

As much as our resume needs the UCF win, I would trade it to not have to watch Gholston in a heartbeat.

Liam Robbins just hit back to back 3s, Vanderbilt's up 8-7, let's see if they stay in front

To go from the high of this game to watching the cellar Blues play haha

Extend him in the locker room

We have ourselves a new Big Shot Zaire amongst other big shot makers.

What a way to win and a great nickname to have.

Oh my god, dude... We NEVER win games like and now we've done it TWICE this yr!!!

HO-LEEEEE SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

M-I-Z MUTHA****A!!!!!!!!
