Study Hall: Georgia 74, Mizzou 72

There’s usually a moment during the game where I catch a feeling of how the rest of the game will go, if it’s a close game. The fast break dunk, the corner three, the steal and a layup… something that gives you the foresight of a win or a loss. Sometimes that moment is sooner […]

It’s probably the era I grew up in, but Richard Sherman is enshrined in my head forever as the idyllic corner. Tall, physical, fast, braggadocios: He had everything you want for a guy whose job it […]

Recruiting Reset: Mizzou adds Auburn receiver Horatio Fields

Mizzou hasn’t slowed down on its recruiting trail and it feels like Auburn, Alabama, has been a topic of interest for Drinkwitz and company. They’ve successfully converted three Tigers over from Auburn and they all could be instant impact players for Mizzou down the line. The Tigers have picked up three players off the bad […]

Study Hall: LSU 78, Mizzou 70

Starting off the SEC basketball season, if I’d have told you Missouri would be 1-2 on the road, I’m sure we’d all have guessed the one win was at Kentucky, right? It is disappointing to start off with a big road win over a program like Kentucky, only to follow up with losses to teams […]
