Rocking out on press row here in KC.

Samantha Steele sighting a minute ago and she is super hot.

Holly Rowe also here...

Mizzou-OSU tips off in about ten minutes. Not as big of an MU contingency as I could have expected considering what's at stake for the Tigers this weekend.

I'll also say this, OSU's athleticism is a tough matchup for Missouri. This one isn't exactly a gimme for MU.

Guerrero LOVES to dribble.

Mizzou on a 9-0 run the last three minutes. Turnovers and long misses by OSU leading to easy fast break opportunities for the Tigers.

Page is 0 for his last 3 from beyond the arc. He got tripped up coming through a screen and has been shaking his left hand ever since.

This game is unwinnable for OSU if Page can't make shots.

21-6 Mizzou at the second TV break.

tim beam · #8 03-08-2012, 06:29 PM

Mizzou on pace to win 120-36. Tigers are getting every single 50/50 ball and turning all of them into points.

tim beam · #9 03-08-2012, 06:38 PM

Missouri firing on all cylinders right now. OSU having a terrible night taking care of the basketball. Sloppy turnovers in awful spots.

Big win for Texas that Northwestern lost to Minnesota. Potentially helpful outcome for sure.

Were you sitting on press row when Holly Rowe interviewed the MU coach. You could have waved to let us know which was you.

tim beam · #12 03-08-2012, 07:05 PM

Talk about a beatdown. Mizzou has 8 offensive rebounds and OSU...has 10 rebounds total. Good gravy.

TrueLonghornFan · #13 03-08-2012, 07:33 PM

So osu got it all up and shot their wad against us, huh?

WTF is new, right?

tim beam · #14 03-08-2012, 07:39 PM

Just got handed the starting lineup for tonight...

Kabongo
Brown
Lewis
Holmes
Chapman

Mizzou wins 88-70. I'm fairly certain that the Texas bench will be directly in front of me, so hopefully I can get a decent feel for Chappy and where he's at, health wise.

hornlover · #16 03-08-2012, 07:58 PM

Good to see Lewis in the starting line-up....his back must be better

Feel Horns really need McClellan to step up, Iowa State seems a good match-up for him

HOOK 'EM

tim beam · #17 03-08-2012, 08:01 PM

Chappy doesn't seem to be showing any real trouble at this point. Just warmups, obviously, but at least he looks mostly natural in his movement.

tim beam · #18 03-08-2012, 08:15 PM

Pretty considerable ISU contingency here but it's probably good for Texas that this game is the nightcap as it's rare that opposing fans will root for the Longhorns and most of the Mizzou fans have found their way out of the arena after their win.

tim beam · #19 03-08-2012, 08:26 PM

Okay, I'm going to go back on that statement. On a rough look around, I'd say their are close to 8K Cyclone fans to maybe three or four hundred Texas fans.

Interesting atmosphere.

Here we go.
