Exactly where I thought we would be.

Would not have imagined in a million years MU would be in this position right now having been without Otule and Gardner as much as we have. Eager to see the team finish strong, but this season has been incredibly impressive to this point. The team and staff deserve major kudos.
I'm worried MU might be "Peaking" to quickly right now....
Hope I'm wrong.

We won't be "Peaking" until we get Gardner back into the flow, which should be right around tournament time. Coincidentally, that is the exact time you want to be "Peaking," just like last year.

They are playing well..not sure peaking however because the games MU have won, they were should have won...if they rip through the BEast tournament then I would raise that question.

Yes, because UCONN peaked after it ripped through the BE tourney

Nice recognition for the nice season our lads are putting together.

Can you post the link for the AP poll? Can't find it on ESPN or CBS.
Nevermind.

The game DJ was hurt, wasn't UCONN and MU both Top 10?

Wasn't the February 16, 2003 (could be off a couple days) game against Louisville a Top 10 match-up? If I remember correctly wasn't it a 6 vs 8 match-up?
Yes. MU was #8. UConn was #2.
