No foul on Mitchell on that layup after all the bullshit calls they're giving Fl?

A shot to the boys. Ouch!

Could they please move the microphone away from that loud bitch?

Please!

Refs blow, microphone placement blows

When haven’t they ****ed us tonight

Mizzou getting royally ****ed over by the refs.

Well the screw job is on. ****ing horse shit refs.

The SEC doesn't even bother hiding it.

This is beyond ****ing ridiculous. God damn game has slowed so much.

Gray is such an offensive liability.

I hate the sec

How the **** do you miss a wide open dunk and wtf was that D?

These refs keep making sure Florida scores.

Bullshit

That's a ****ing horse shit foul on a 3. **** these refs.

Holy shit you’re kidding me that’s not a foul????

Foul after foul after foul. Jesus ****ing Christ.

These refs are ****ing god awful.

I turned the last 4 minutes of this game on and the refs have made it unwatchable

When it goes to review I just know we are getting screwed

I've never seen more reviews in my life.

Grill not getting the FT's cost Mizzou.

Lucky ass bullshit

Ft shooting has been abysmal lately.

Mizzou 14/25 from the line is god damn atrocious.

F*** Floridas little weasel bitch coach.

Really about ****ed it up there.

Running around screaming like a ****in bitch when his teams been bailed out all night.

FL coach looks like a ****ing lesbian.

No clue why Florida fouled there

Every play is under review

Hell yeah, daddy!

Still won't be ranked.

Huge!!!! MIZ

That's a hell of a win, lads.

A true road win against a top 5 team when you had several opportunities to fold. That's just damn impressive.

Ant Robinson is so good. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s playing in the league next year. Hope not.

Not sure he's explosive enough or has the shooting range.

The NBA seems to have a use for 2 sorts of guys - dead eye shooters and athletic unicorns.

He's none of that. 6'3" without premier athleticism or a plus jumper. He's a really fun player and the league SHOULD value him if it were healthy game right now.

But it won't. Because it isn't.

I don’t watch the NBA so I cannot disagree, all I see is a guy who runs the offense effortlessly, who can shoot, drive, pass and create his own shot if needed. I hope he’s got two more Mizzou years for sure.

That was a fun gritty win. In terms of the actual game more satisfying than the KU win imo.

I don't know about that. Anytime that we get to knock off the Beakers is pretty satisfying. I think that they would have to make the final four to top that .......for me anyway.

If they can avoid stepping on their dicks vs. Arkansas, they'll be ranked. I think they'll jump clear into the top 20, in fact.

But the "BecauseMizzou" is strong. I expect them to somehow lose to the Hogs.

"In terms of the actual game"

The best argument Mizzou had for being ranked was the quality of their losses.

"Well all of our losses were against ranked teams..." carries weight in the margins, but won't get you far stand-alone.

And the win against KU isn't a conventional 'Beat the #1 team in the country' win in that KU had already lost that week AND it's a rivalry game so voters won't give it quite as much weight.

That said, with 2 wins against top 5 opponents INCLUDING a true road win, that does carry a fair bit of weight. And should be enough, when paired with the quality of the losses, to get them a ranking.

They needed to strengthen their baseline argument (the quality of their WINS) before the corroborating arguments (the strength of their losses) mattered much.

The Florida win does that.

That’s one thing the very deep team gives them … if they come off a win super high and starters are not playing well, there are hungry guys you can pop in.

I love what TO Barrett gave them in crunch time against Florida.

If Perkins or Ant don’t have it, you should feel comfortable subbing Barrett.

The funny thing is that if you'd have told me that this is where the '24/'25 team got to in the summer of '23, I'd have believed you.

I also fully expected last year to be something of a step back season.

I just think I let that year get me TOO down on this year's team. Because we knew that the roster this year had talent as far back as last summer, we just knew it needed time to come together. And that most of last year's team weren't going to be a part of it -- so why should I have allowed the failure of last year's squad influence where I thought this one could get?

{shrug}

Recency bias, I guess.

But man, Ant is my favorite Tiger of either sport in quite awhile. Well, no, that's not right. That's Kobe Brown. But apart from Kobe, Ant is up there with anybody. I'd love to see that kid play out 4 years here because I really don't think he has a game that's going to translate as well to the NBA as he would hope.

I'd rather see him build a legacy here than go pro early, get drafted in the mid-late 2nd and then vanish into the damn G-League.

To see a freshman who hadn't been getting any playing time come into a game of that magnitude during the peak of crunch time in a hostile environment and perform like that was extremely impressive. Brass balls.

That first half against the Gators was as good as I've seen a Mizzou team look in years. If not a decade or two.

Grill is so important to this team, we seem to go as he goes. Think we got it in us to beat the piggies today? I don’t know much about them this year.

Arkansas isn't bad at all. They only lost 2 non con games and they were against Baylor (#25) and Illinois (#19). They beat #20 Michigan. They've lost all 4 conference games, but they've played good teams. We should beat the shit out of them, though.

Arky gonna be more deranged after being waxed all around.

What an ass stomping. You’ve gotta love it. This team looks really good, really deep, can shoot and guard. It could be a fun year

****ing Grill ripping the ball from that bitch Brazile while he was on the floor and slamming it was peak awesomeness. **** him and those sister ****ers.

Just barely ranked. #22 seems way too low. This team gets no respect.

Alabama was 111th KenPom D and made the final 4 last year, dumb shit. Miami was 99th in 2023. Duke was 63rd in 2022.

Yeah - I hated losing Brazile. The one guy that's transferred out that I really really wanted to keep (well him and Pinson).

But it's pretty satisfying seeing a guy go to a rivalry team only to get fisted in his breakthrough year. And it doesn't seem like he's thriving under Coach Cal either. He's clearly not getting the minutes he got last year.

Obviously I don't want to see a kid I liked fail...but it sure doesn't hurt to be able to point to stuff like that in the spring and say "Hey, the grass ain't always greener..."

And to be fair to him, I guess, he wouldn't be playing ahead of Mitchell here and probably not Pierce either. SO maybe he did the right thing for him afterall. He'd probably be out there battling with Shaw for the same backup minutes he's getting in Arkansas. And while that would be an upgrade for us, it wouldn't REALLY matter much.

On that front, I hope we don't really get into these cycles of desperately needing 1 and 2 year players to carry the scoring load for us.

I mean we're going to lose 40 PPG in Bates, Grill, Warrick and Perkins next season. It's just awfully hard to be trying to replace that seemingly every other year.

Just feels like we need more of these highly touted younger players to step up in their soph seasons (like we're seeing from Ant). A guy like Pierce becoming a 15+ PPG player next season is going to be pretty vital. But after him, Robinson and probably Mitchell returning, there's not much scoring punch left. I don't see Allen, Boateng or Barrett being big-time scorers for us next season. I don't even see Shaw being a tiger.

We're going to have to strike it big in the transfer portal again and when those miss, that's how the 23-24 season happens.

Being ranked #22 with two top 10 wins, including one on the road, and only three losses, two of which were close to top 25 teams, and the other against the consensus #1 team, is horseshit of the highest order.

We're going to get absolutely ****ed when it comes to NCAA tourney seeding.

Mark Mitchell needs to not shoot anymore 3s ever. He's so ****ing bad at it.

I like Mitchell. He does a lot of things well.

THAT ain't among 'em.

Wtf was Grill doing there on that 3? Jesus Christ.

He's gotten worse every single year lol.

TO Barret and Marcus Allen have looked pretty good for freshmen.

Holy ****ing shit Tamar Bates. Jesus Christ what a drive and slam.

We look like garbage tonight.

Grill is my buddies kid.

Mizzou always struggles against Texas even when they're bad.

This is why I just won't complain about this team being unranked.

They absolutely shit the bed today. This was embarrassing. Poorly played, poorly coached. Not one single positive to take from this game.

I don't give a **** if they sniff the top 25 again this season. This is absolutely how they'll react to it.

Goddammit this was ****ing pathetic.

Well he boxes out like a queer

4 for 20 from beyond the arc. ROFL

They were running into each other trying to set screens.

The shooting was horrific but it was really an extension of the fact that NOTHING was working. It looked like they'd never played together before.

Agreed.

That was ****ing pathetic. They should have blown them out, but had our classic "because Mizzou" game.

That's a really bad charge call. The guy was moving as Ant was driving. Bullshit call.

Don't like that foul call. Grill was trying to box the dude out. It's not his fault the guy was running wildly down the court at full speed.

Flagrant foul is ****ing wild on that.

SEC refs suck

How, in God's name, was that a flagrant 1?

These refs are ****ing ridiculous.

These refs have been beyond awful. Mizzou should be up by 15-20 points, but the refs are making sure it's not a blowout.

Trent Pierce has taken a really nice freshmen to sophomore jump.
