Well, a win against Alabama and a loss against Arkansas resulted in moving up one spot in the AP poll to number 14. Wonder where they would have been if they had beaten Arkansas?

I figured 10-12.

There's just not a lot of movement at this point in the season. And honestly, there really shouldn't be. These teams have all played 25+ games -- are we really gonna act like we're still learning a lot about them?

GeT gRiLl oFf ThE cOuRt!!!!

As bad as Gray looks on TV...

...he's worse in person.

He's awful.

If only they had played with this energy against Arky.

I saw DJ's last 2 posts right before I turned the game on and thought, "ahhh, shit". But then Mizzou is up by 20. ROFL

And now they're up by 32.

Well, Florida got beat tonight. That's a surprise. But, after losing to Arkansas, we're still a game behind them. There's still hope left for the double bye in the SEC tournament. One game down to Florida with the tiebreaker. Tied with A&M but they have the tiebreaker. But, A&M and Alabama still have to play Auburn. Alabama and Tennessee play eah other and Florida and Alabama play each other. I like the Tigers chances

That was the joke - Grill came out looking fantastic.

As for Gray - there's a reason Murray-Boyles has like 25 points at halftime - I really can't name a single thing Gray does well.

The highlight of the game, though, was the Antlers tormenting Jordan Butler. And Grays best moment of the night was going straight through Butlers chest on a drive (that probably should've been called a charge).

Actually Gray's best moment was that sick pass to Grill on the back cut. That was probably the highlight of his entire basketball career. I had to wipe my eyes to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

For one split second in time he looked like Magic Johnson passing a basketball. Unfortunately that's where the resemblance ends.

Gray is what he is, guys.

A big, physical presence who can rebound and occupy space and muscle with opposing bigs.

I think he’s pretty darn effective as a pick-and-roll defender (hedges well, good length, enough foot speed).

And he’s good for at least one hilarious lane violation a game.

You need a guy like him on the roster.

This team seems to go as Grill goes. Saw the stat they are 11-0 when he scores 10+ points. Mitchell is turning into a constant scorer and leader. And crews off the bench is huge.

Wow! A&M lost to Vanderbilt tonight. Mizzou is back in the 4 seed.

Guys - Vandy is going to be a REALLY tough out.

I think people are looking past that game. Vanderbilt is a much better team than they seem to be getting credit for and with that win, they're in the tournament right now. But they lose a home game and it's gonna get tighter.

That's going to be arguably their biggest game of the year - they're going to be ready.

Mizzou needs to figure out the road effort issues if they're gonna win that game or the OU game.

Yeah. I've been noticing Vandy. They've swept Kentucky, and beaten aTm and Tennessee once this season. Tennessee barely won by 5 at Tennessee. After the Hogs loss, I'm hoping that Gates and company aren't going to take Vandy lightly. Vsndy could certainly beat the Tigers.

Does anyone have the game on? I'm not home but just caught a score of 18-13 Mizzou.

Vandy on an 8-0 run. Rebounding has been an issue so far.

So is points in the paint.

Way too many offensive rebounds in the 1st half.

38-29 at the half. I missed it all. But planning on catching the second half.

Just letting them hang around.

And Grill has gone ice cold after a hot start.

Way too many offensive rebounds for Vandy. They're getting 2 or 3 chances every time.

The defense has been awful in the second half the last two road games. They're scoring every trip down the court.

Hell of a shot by Ant.

****ing 3 straight missed free throws by Pierce. God damn, dude.

****ing a Anthony!

He made the first.

****ing horse shit offensive foul

My bad, guess I missed it.

How in the **** is that a block

God damn we are playing sloppy

Robinson is the only one playing worth a shit

Out rebounded 36-24

**** Mitchell. Hold onto the ball.


I thought that was out on Mitchell. Thank God lol

I thought he just lost control too, but apparently was knocked out by Vandy.

Wtf is Grill doing. God damn dude.

A prayer goes in. FML

Everyone always hits clutch 3's against Mizzou, always.

4 straight ****ing 3s by them of course.

****ing Christ. Bull shit ass shot. No way these mother ****ers keep up this insanity into OT.

Mizzou will always lose important games by the clutch 3.

They didn't lose?

Important?

Literally the ****ing definition of you had one job. Just guard the ****ing three. That's all you have to do.

Same as it ever was. Just a classic Mizzou team.

I think Grill went 0-7 from 3 after hitting his first 3.

This team is ****ing done. They aren't making the second weekend.

I love the guy, but I think he gets too full of himself or something. ****ing jacking up 3 after 3 for no reason. He wasn't open and was a foot or 2 from the 3 point line on some. Dude your ice cold now just stop and get it to someone else.

Vandy was completely ass from 3 all game and now they haven’t missed down the stretch and in OT.

Un****ing real. :facepalm:

That's an exaggeration. Vandy is another good SEC team at home.

Yes. They lost because Vandy got hot from 3 at the absolute worst time. Classic Mizzou.

It is Mizzous destiny to lose by the 3.

When else has this happened? A team making like 8 ****ing 3s to end a game?

**** that would have been a nice and 1.

A&M won by the clutch 3. Texas and Arky went scorching hot from 3 in the second half. It's all 3's my man.

God damn thank **** for Grill running over and fouling the dude before he could run out the entire clock.

It's because they can't stop dribble penetration, so they're always rotating to help their man, which leaves the three open.

This defense is ****ing terrible if they aren't getting steals.

Games like tonight are why you can't be positive about Mizzou. I know the negativity gets old but Mizzou loses in the most maddening ways that they make me see red.

Lmao, Texas was 4/20 from 3 point line and didn't make a 3 the entire 2nd half. So Arkansas was 5/8 from 3 in the 2nd half, but didn't shoot any after the 8 minute mark in the second half. A&M was 5/19 from 3, but just happened to make a 3 to break up the tie. Wouldn't really say that's losing by the 3.

I'm glad they tipped us off earlier this year. They will either win one tourney game and lose in the second round or go one and done. Same old shit.

The coach needed to call a timeout and make sure the Defense was on the same page.

Gates giving games away is becoming a pattern that is for sure.

Because Missouri.

I don’t know why we didn’t foul up by 3 with five seconds left. Idiotic.

The other team didn't have a time out. Most coaches aren't calling a TO in that situation, so that the other team can't draw something up.

For some god damn reason Trent Pierce bit on a dude driving inside the 3 point line and let his god damn man get a wide open 3 pointer. He was a ****ing idiot and if he didn't realize the situation, then he has a really bad understanding of the game.

Probable 4 seed in the tourney and Coach of the Year candidate and this is what the fake fan reeruns latch onto. ROFL

His coaching sucks at the end of games. And ever since you said that the defense is good they have been dreadful.

They say he has a weak psyche and gets scared. That's why he shoots 40 percent from the line in SEC play.

How did that work out for him?

If he calls that timeout and the other team draws up a play that they make the same game tying 3, then you're on here bitching about the timeout.

Don't lump me in with stupid ass bitching you do in every post you make.

There is a reason why teams don't call timeouts at the end of a game in a live ball situation when they need to score. A stoppage allows the defense to get set and gives them the advantage. Gates not using his timeout was a tactical blunder that, along with Pierce's piss-poor defense, cost them the game.

This is looking a whole lot like the Vandy game. Not a good time of the year to be playing your worst ball.

Well ****. They're playing like absolute shit. Gotta get this shit figured out soon.

We've gone from must see TV to ****ing unwatchable.

Worst they've looked in conference all season. Need to beat Kentucky to get some momentum back going into the postseason.

Oh, look, yet another game where they gave up over 50 in a half. What a ****ing joke this defense is.

Makes the Kentucky game a priority. Good thing it is a home game. Bad thing is I don't think this is a tourney team with their performance on the road.

I remember when we went through this cycle with the Chiefs. They look good, beat good teams, get us excited, then shit down their leg. It's nice that the Chiefs got past that. Will Mizzou ever be able to quit setting us up for disappointment?

Nope. College isn't like the Pros. You can't go from loser to contender, you are what you are

With the implementation of the NIL and the way the is now you absolutely can go from loser to contender in just a year.

That's a myth. The same schools will still win the championships.
