Normally, I don't have a seperate post for just one game. But this game is a must play today and I wanted to make sure everyone saw it. This Missouri team who was expected to go to the Final Four and compete for National Title has been sleepwalking through the season. They have lost 3 in a row by a total of 6 points including what I think is the worst home loss in Missouri history in their last outing at home to Belmont. Snyder has run some hard practices following the loss. This team under Snyder has always faltered when there have been expectations and flourished when no one expects anything out of them. This Belmont loss was the wake up call that this team needed. They know no matter how much talent you have or what you are supposed to do on paper, you still have to play the games. Missouri will come out today and throttle Iowa. Not only is this a gut call but just knowing this team. Missouri not only will cover the spread today but will take Iowa out to the shed winning this game by 30. That's right, 30 points. If I lose this game, I will take a lot of bashing but I definitely think I have this game pegged. Hopefully everyone gets on it before the line start going up. Though Iowa/Missouri are hotly contested border wars, this one will not as Missouri makes a MAJOR STATEMENT! Hopefully everyone gets on it. Best of luck.
paddio,
I normally don't play on Missouri as they are my team but this situation calls for it. I could be wrong as this team might have already packed it in. But I don't think so. Things have been getting more positive on violations front and I think this team if it does not go on probation will go on a major run all the way to the Final Four. The first and 2nd round games are being hosted in Kansas City and the regional final in St. Louis. This means Missouri if they can get their shit together, may never leave the state of Missouri in the Big Dance until Final Four. That is why this game is so big. They have to start winning NOW. Best of luck.

Heard coach Quin was going to possibly make some line-up changes (bench Bryant??) after loss to Belmont .... pretty optimistic of you (and others I've heard) to think this team has a chance at the Final Four .... I know they have all that talent but they are not a TEAM, typical for Missouri .... with all that being said I do agree with your call today as they will answer the bell against Iowa. Good luck.
