Let’s Relive That: Marquette-Mizzou Ending

Marquette Buzz Williams decided he had had enough of lipreaders seeing the profanities he was spewing at the officials last night, so watch, as the highlight goes on, as Williams then covers his mouth. Love it. He's like an NFL coach out there! ... Read More

End of the KU-Mizzou Game

Bless the soul(s) who have been uploading some great end-of-game stuff on the YouTubes this season. If you missed it, set aside 10 minutes and watch Missouri suck the life out of Kansas to win last night's game. Terrific job on the call by Ron Franklin, by the way. ... Read More

Where Have You Gone, Quin Snyder?

Where Have You Gone, Quin Snyder?

Good ol' Quin—he may have been breaking some NCAA bi-laws, but his players weren't going all country music video on people. Now, it's Mike Anderson's (right) team and he's going to have to sit five of his players for the next couple of games. Yes, Missouri is going to be having some scoring problems.
