If their star is out, MU could romp...
It was a down year for the Ivy League this year.

any update if he is out
Pomeroy favors MU by 11. Seems all lines set off of Pomeroy nowadays.
Playing in AL could also yield a slight improvement in performance - at least as far as Dodds is concerned. The shooting background will greatly improve our ability to shoot from distance.

Teal? Please give me a break, BS
I was curious to see when the last time was that MU played Harvard. Sports Reference has head-to-head matchup data dating back to 1949, and according to them we have never matched up with the Crimson.
Here's how we stand against the rest of the Ivy League:
Brown: 2-0
Columbia: 4-0
Cornell: 1-0
Dartmouth: 2-0
Harvard: no games
Penn: no games
Princeton: 0-1
Yale: 1-1
10-2 overall. We also haven't played a game against the IVY league since we played Cornell in 1998.

Penn is afraid to play us.

"Quakers" is possibly the least intimidating team name of all time.

My sister in law's grade school mascot was the "Seahorses". THAT's intimidation!

No teal. Dodds can give you an exquisite breakdown of why MU players are at a severe disadvantage shooting at the Bradley Center. It is some of the finest pretzel logic ever..complete with Larry Bird references.

Does Dodds use any reference that isn't at least 25 years old?

Well he used to compare Aaron Rodgers to Randy Wright*. So no.
*Randy Wright played for UW and then the Packers. Imagine the Packers having to pin their hopes on a poor man's Joel Stave. That was the Randy Wright Era.

I grew up in central Illinois, and a few of the schools we competed against had ridiculous team names - Pretzels and Orphans top the list.

There is an all-girl's Catholic school in Nashville called the Scarabs. Who has a dung beetle for a mascot?

The Freeport Pretzels...they were in our conference
Artie the Artichoke is my personal favorite.

Pekin Chinks

You missed out on playing against the Chinks?
Drat, beaten to it. BTW, PC has finally filtered down to Pekin and there has been a mascot change.
Any word if this Towns cat is going to play?
My personal favorite is the Butte Pirates because I have the humor of a 12 year old

The closest thing we have is this: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2018/3/14/mbb-preview-nit-marquette-2018/
QuoteUnable to reenter the game with an apparent knee injury, Towns will most likely be held out of the Wednesday contest if there is any concern about his long-term health. As of Tuesday afternoon, there has been no official word from the team about Towns' status.
Seems like a game time decision
Freeport and Pekin were pretty ridiculous. Makes the Whitney Young Dolphins look downright normal.
Towns is not listed on the scoreboard. And there is a guy on crutches. 8-)
Interesting - From that article, Wojo bought 500 tickets for students still on campus. Good move!
