Don't do it. I just don't see Mizzou wining that one in Lawrence. But that's OK, a split is really fine with me. I think we could be forgiven for losing there, it's just the at Nebraska and the at Kansas State that killed us.

Yeah, but those losses didn't kill us the way they normally would. They hurt our tournament seeding. I'll take that over not making the tournament.

Getting in is just a formality at this point, and if we avenge those losses or do well in the Big XII tournament, then that's just all the better. Plus, I think we'll be unbeaten at home, and that sure as hell will help us.

But yeah, beating KU at their house is unlikely. MU wouldn't come back last night without that crowd behind them.

Winning the rest of our games at home would be a huge score for Mizzou. That would mean that they would have beat Oklahoma. Talk about a higher tourney seed, if that happens we'll be right up there.

If we play like we did in the 1st half last night against OU I dont think they will let us back in it.

That's the only game I'm uncertain about, but to be honest I'm no more uncertain about that than I was about the Kansas game. Should be a helluva game.

Yeah, that's easy to say, but I think most people counted us out down by 14 at the half against Kansas. The very nature of the Tigers style helps keep them in games for the most part. It should be interesting to see how MU faces up against a certain NBA lottery pick though.
