This has happened a lot under the bright lights to MU recently. I just want us to finally bust out a big performance against a very talented team like Florida. Do we get it done tonight? To me winning this game truly makes this season a success because an Elite 8 is right around this team's ceiling.

Define recently. You mean once?

Too young to die....this team is not laying an egg at any point. If they lose it will be to a better team, not a comparable or lesser team. I do not believe Florida is better team and we win this game going away. Said a ton but this team has aren't, swagger and a chip on its shoulder. I'm riding Buzz and the fellas for a couple more weeks.

I can't perform my ritual today, so yeah I think we might be in trouble.

Depends how well Crowder and Wilson hold down the middle.

Also can't have Rosario, Boyton, and co. going off. Real tough and usually teams with prima donnas pick up their D in the tourney.

Last year versus UNC and back to back years to Louisville in the prestigious BET.

Too late for national TV. No egg

Those eggs are far more tolerable than the Stanford and Mizzou outs of years past. But get your head checked and have some faith! I believe, I believe, I believe that we will win!

Goose you been singing their praises for awhile. Really hope you're right brother. This program has been bound to do something "special".....been 9 years.

I'm always a little wary of games like these. I hope we do not pull out dudes like the Providence, Kansas, Michigan State and North Carolina fiascoes that MU has endured in the NCAAs in past years. I'm hoping we channel the ghosts of the Kansas State ('77), UNC-Charlotte ('77), Kentucky ('94), Pitt ('03), Kentucky ('03), and Syracuse ('11) an get another big victory tonight.

As long as no foul trouble, I don't see a problem.

I always have the fear that it might happen, but I really feel that, win or lose, this team will fight like the Warriors they are.

Heretic!! - Mods, can we have this heretic banned?

(what do you mean, teal?)

Doris...if Buzz sticks around (which I am leaning very heavily it will happen) this is just the start. The foundation has been built and filling in the pieces year in and year out gets easier. I believe this team can win NC, but more importantly, be a top ten program for years to come. If Buzz keeps recruiting future NBA player, this team has five, the future is big time bright.

ESPN Game day:

Digger: Fl
Bilas: MU
Dickie V: MU

How typical.

StillWarriors · « **Reply #14 on:** March 22, 2012, 05:18:02 PM »

I would just hope that even if we lose, people keep some perspective and not jump all over whoever may have a tough game. The big picture is these guys have busted their tails and put together a heck of a season. Anything can happen in a one and done situation, but I don't think the season ends tonight. Go Warriors!

Goose · « **Reply #15 on:** March 22, 2012, 05:21:41 PM »

Still Warriors...well put and agree completely. I only will be pissed if somehow we lost Buzz and this was out one chance. Keep Buzz and we will be better in two years than we are now. This season is another step in right direction for the long haul.

DomJamesToTheBasket · « **Reply #16 on:** March 22, 2012, 05:23:50 PM »

I think (and hope) it will be the other way around. Florida hit 53% in their last 2 games while hitting 46% on the season, however, they also have been cold from 3 and are normally great there. As for MU, laid an egg in shooting last game at 38%. Jae and DJO totaled 2-11 from 3. Vander was 1-5 for FG's, as was Jamil. Mayo was 2-7. I don't believe MU has had many poor shooting games back-to-back this year. So, I'm actually thinking we come out hot tonight....

Wait - he acknowledges that there's still a tourney with his precious Duke no longer participating...?

Same here. I think everyone's expectation for this year has been Elite 8 all year long.

Might be a matter of coaching -- Billy D. is obviously a good coach, but I have faith in Buzz fo sho.

mu_hilltopper · « **Reply #21 on:** March 22, 2012, 06:29:03 PM »

Petrified, yes.

Would Florida hitting their 3s, we don't / we turn the ball over = double digit hole to start the game surprise anyone? It should not.

Benny B · « **Reply #22 on:** March 22, 2012, 06:32:56 PM »

Florida hasn't seen a perimeter defense like what MU played last week. Keep that up, and Florida will be so far out of its element that a mediocre offense performance by MU will be all it takes.

I however still think tonight is a shoot out that goes to OT. MU still wins on a Crowder 3 at the buzzer.

Goose · « **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2012, 06:34:51 PM »

So I am the only guy on here trying to figure out how to pay for trip to NOLA I can't afford?
