Time to disrupt out your best Mizzou Gold, Tiger fans, cuz there’s a Gold Thrill tonight. Certain, the sporting activity is later (8pm start, eeek), nevertheless it’ll be cost it.

The Missouri Tigers have a possibility to obtain some sweet, sweet vengeance tonight. Must you remember (i.e. if you take place to risk to recall), the Tigers saw Bud Walton a variety of weeks in the past as well as had actually remained in a placement to obtain a 17-point lead early within the sporting activity, after which ol’ Muss as well as his whining started, as well as his team started striking photos, as well as the Tigers…. …. lost. Nonetheless enough regarding that.

Brandon’s sneak peek for the rematch will most likely be out later on right this minute, so this will most likely be momentary. Chums, the Muss Bus is bending off the road as well as I, for one, don’t hate to see it. The Hogs haven’t received a sport since beating our truthful Tigers, dropping by 13 to no. 22 Auburn (Arky was no. 13 on the time), and by 15 to no. 4 Alabama (Arky was no. 15 on the time). After which got here my favourite loss. The Vanderbilt Commodores (1-2 within the SEC on the time, with a win over South Carolina) beat the doorways proper off Arkansas on their bizarre little house courtroom by 15 factors.

Y’all, the Razorbacks employees was apparently so disrespected by their loss to Stack (a G-League teaching legend, thoughts you) and the ‘Dores on Saturday that they identical to… left? Discuss poor f’ing sportsmanship.

So issues don’t go your means so that you’re identical to, “NO I WILL NOT SHAKE YOUR HANDS BECAUSE THIS IS NOTTTTTTTT FAIRRRRR, DADDY!!!!”

who else has misplaced a bunch lately and nonetheless carries themselves like GROWN UPS? Dennis Gates & Co.

In response to Lunardi’s new checklist, Missouri finds itself as the general no. 33 seed (was no. 23 and 20 the week prior). Of notice, Kentucky is likely one of the First 4 out. As a result of MU dismantled them, I’d like them to begin doing higher and make the Tigers’ win higher.

From Coach Gates’ media time on Tuesday, in response to being unranked:

On the ladies’s facet, Charlie Creme additionally launched a brand new bracket. Seems just like the throttling by each LSU and South Carolina— each undefeated groups to this point this season — has moved the Tigers to one of many Final 4 in (an 11-seed). They had been a 10-seed final week, so it’s not like they dropped enormously.

Their current stress was in opposition to one of the best groups within the convention and nation (ARK- 8 seed, 38 NET | LSU- 2 seed, 2 NET | SC- 1 seed, 1 NET)

Right here’s their subsequent 4 video games, which solely options one staff at present included in Creme’s bracket:
