Arkansas @ Mizzou

[Quillback]

ESPN2 tonight at 6 PM. I'm hoping (and I realize it's a faint hope) that the Hawgs, after winning a road game at Vanderbilt, have finally kicked their annoying tendency for SEC road losses, and can come out of Mizzou with a win.

ESPN2 tonight at 6 PM. I'm hoping (and I realize it's a faint hope) that the Hawgs, after winning a road game at Vanderbilt, have finally kicked their annoying tendency for SEC road losses, and can come out of Mizzou with a win.

I plan to be there in the stands cheering like crazy against that happening. But the Hogs are capable of getting the road win if Mizzou doesn't bring it's A-game.

Let's just be honest, the way this game is called by the refs is going to have a huge impact. Honestly (though it's not right) I expect a pretty significant foul differential in Mizzou arena tonight, given what should be a pretty raucous crowd. If that's not the case, then the game becomes pretty even.

Yep, I'm just hoping the refs are only, say, 60/40 in Mizzou's favor.

expecting another hackfest from the hawgs.......since missouri won at arkansas, surely they can beat them at home!!! they need to start stringing some wins together to go with all of those quality losses!!!

[Quillback]

Doggone it, Hawgs blew it again! This has been a year of blown opportunities for them. Sheesh..

What a game. I guess it was defense optional. Missouri nearly had an epic collapse there.

I was at the game, and I've rarely heard Mizzou arena louder or more crazy than those last 10 seconds where Arkansas had one last chance to ruin our season (because losing this game would have basically eliminated Mizzou from tournament contention.) I don't know how we hung on there but I'm glad we did.

Arkansas showed an incredible amount of guts with that comeback, and probably deserved to win. But at this point we'll take any win we can get under pretty much any circumstances. It's desperation time for a bubble team.

At this point, I have no idea where it leaves us in our search for a tourney berth. We should probably wait until after the Tennessee game after Friday to think too hard about that anyway. That's a big opportunity for a second quality win in three days if we can get it, and would certainly put us on the right side of the bubble for the moment. That's a huge "if" though, the Vols are going to be just as tough as this one.

It was a fun game to watch, had to be fun to be in the stands, an emotional roller coaster for the Mizzou crowd I would think.

Bobby night had nothing but nice things to say about rosburg...who looked god awful. Knight said I have him on the court first thing tomorrow morning...he cost mu 8-10 points.

looking forward to the time these games matter...not much going on this year sadly.

[Quillback]

I remember Bobby saying that. Maybe Haith will hire him as an assistant.

Mizzou sure can shoot foul shots, 19 out of 19 in the first half I believe.

Haith is not very good at working with post players unless they come prepackaged (ie Alex Oriakhi and Ricardo Ratliffe, who were already really good players when he got his hands on them.) I actually think Rosburg is about at his potential now, but we saw last night that Criswell can actually play. Where was that Tony Criswell for the first 23 games? That is one of the great mysteries of this Missouri season.
