And destroyed the #2 team.

such a weird thing, i feel like we suck so much of the time and we're still ranked.

Yeah. Kind of like officiating.

Yep. We're still just not used to being a good program. Remember when we were fighting for 10th place in the final weeks of the Wooly years? Ugh.

Mizzou isn't the #2 team, with one guy over 6'6 any other year.

It's strange to me that people can think the overall talent level of more than 300 teams varies from year to year. It changes very little even on a conference by conference level.

They won't be anywhere near #2 at the end of the year, but I see your point.   And I also agree that this is a down year.  LOL at the big 12 having three of the top 6 teams.

suck it wisconsin!

I would have killed for a 5th place finish with Wooly  extra victory in 5-12 P66 game

Its still hard for me to completely believe in Missouri, but outside of being destroyed by K-State (us!) they have been solid and have several good wins. With those wins and an 18-1 record, its hard not to put them at #2 right now. They may not finish there, but they will likely be a Top 10 team even at the end of the year.

MU's victory over Baylor says more about Baylor than MU to me.

The KU game ruined them and reverted them back to Baylor 1.0.

I don't think our conference has as strong of post players in years past.  T-Rob is up there, Jones is pretty good but just doesn't seem aggressive enough.  Thats helping Mizzou immensely this year.  Post matchups will really determine their run in the tourney and should be fun to watch

they shoot like no one has ever shot in the history of college basketball.  shooting is the most important basketball skill.  much more important than being over 6'6".



my apologies to all you under 6'6" retards that told yourselves you'd be good if you were taller.  you'd have been good if you'd had skills.

You make a valid point, shooting, handling, passing, all vital and can't be underestimated - but I tell you what, I take a 6'8" David Hoskins over a 6'4" David Hoskins any day of the week.

I do agree with you, he has good touch around the rim and can shoot it well out to 18 ft, tremendous athleticism for his size and good BBIQ,  just doesn't appear to be the toughest player in the world.

It seems like every other game, he has a brush with a "season ending injury" only to miraculously recover a few minutes later. Don't get me wrong, I'd take him in a heartbeat but wouldn't necessarily call him the full package just yet.

Keiton Page would be better if he were taller.

This is so true. I'm tall and I still suck, because I don't have a consistent jump shot. Size is just one of the many features a basketball player needs to be successful. Southwell sums this up pretty well.

he's a little reluctant to rebound, but if he played for a more forceful coach, i'm sure that'd be solved.  other than that, he's just a complementary player by nature.  he'll be fantastic in the nba, paired with a couple of ball dominant stars.
