Some quotes... not specific... stated....

 

"Nebraska isn't even that good."  "They were picked to finish 13th in the Big 10."  "We (MSU) are going to be terrible again this year."

 

Most of it wasn't that we were good.  It was that they were terrible, played terrible, were missing Ado, yada yada.  Sucks because I expect them to be a decent SEC team this year and I could see that from the game they played today.

Since we beat MSU and we are picked 13th in the big 10+4 does that mean MSU would finish last in the big10+4. That's not very encouraging for them is it.

Mississippi St had 9 more free throw attempts but only 3 more points from the line. I'm sure they aren't happy about being down 23, but they clawed back. I think both teams showed promise

You would think, that by some of their quotes, their best calf just died.  Someone said "We just need to scratch the basketball program."

 

I'm going to call it right now that we do not finish 13th in the Big 10 and they finish middle of the SEC.

I guess if my team was down 23 at home I'd probably be a little pissy. lol

FWIW, Mizzou leads at halftime 44-40

But you have to look at who they were playing.  Nebraska.  They shouldn't be....... errr.... you're probably right.

KU - Mizzou raised 1.75 million dollars today.

That's admirable. Kudos to KU & Mizzou.

 

 

How's the game been, 9er?

Mississippi State was in the final four in the not too distant past.  Those that remember, are likely similar to Husker football fans who struggle with losing, especially at home.  They are further miffed because of the lack of history and respect for our basketball team.  Good for us, bad for them.  As I have indicated before, we are possibly in the position to provide some shock and awe.  We need to take one step at a time, and not take any outing for granted. 

 

The step taken today was certainly promising.

not only managed to not make the game, I wound up not even being able to listen/watch it. On my way up to Starkville, nasty storm rolls in and ends my trip! heheh. Oh well, made it back home for the end. Glad the guys pulled it out.

The game is great.

Mizzou has led for a significant portion of the game but it is close like you would expect. KU is a little thin on depth and young, but really really good.

Missouri will challenge for the SEC title. The fans are on fire here it's a March madness type atmosphere.

Well, I suppose KU and Mizzou both have football programs that are a hot mess so it's always hoops season in KC !!!

 

Bet it's a fun game (even without a rooting interest).

I can also say we're lucky Jeremiah Tilmon decommitted from Illinois to go to Mizzou because he is a Monster!!!

"We didn’t show up in the first half which is why I was thinking we shouldn’t play it. My point was that fans would look at the final score and say we suck (which we don’t). Luckily we outscored them by 12 in the second half and at least made it interesting. Nebraska sucks btw."

Kansas has jumped out to a 74 - 64 lead now with about 9 minutes left.

Yeah, so bad that we had 23pt. lead in the game to win by 4. So if the Huskers SUCK SO DOES MSU.

[hskr4life]

Yeah... Pretty funny that it was a "we suck (which we don't)."  Followed by a "Nebraska sucks btw," when we were up by over 20 and beat them at home.

Well.... it's Moo U, whatcha gonna do?!

 

[hskr4life]

Looking at their schedule, they should win 10+ in the Non Con as well.  It is about as daunting as a pillow fight.

Mississippi State’s official site has a box score up.  Here is a detail: if you remove the 3 point 0-fers (Isaac and Isaiah), the rest of the team went 8 for 18 from three.  That’s almost 50%.

Also ... here’s a theory: part of being a good exhibition guest is to not blow out the host.  Both Palmer (with 5) and Watson (nothing until a final free throw) shut down their scoring in the second half and let others take up the load.

KU beats Mizzou, 93-87. Fun game!

Nah, nobody knows anything about this team yet. Last anyone knew, NU wasn't very good and we lost three starters off a bad team. They  should assume we'll be bad. Time will tell whether we actually are or not. Same goes for them, too, for that matter. Making any sort of judgment from this game is probably a bit of a fools errand.

[Bugeaters1]

This is the box score from today's game.

 

[Huskerpapa]

I hope that all year we provide shocks to those that believe we are last years team.  One step at a time and we will be pretty darn happy with the end result.
