MIZZOU may not lose again.

Huge win Mizzou----I never, ever, thought you had it in you. Lots of egg on my face.
 
I thought MPJ was going to air ball the last shot. Didn’t even touch it on the last possession. Am disappoint.
 
How is Kentucky gonna handle all that MU?
Meh, I wouldn't be surprised if they lose to UGA. Funny thing is Mizzou likely would've won that game had they not played MPJ. Way too much rust to try and knock off in a tourney game and it obviously disrupted the team dynamic.
 
"Twas the night before MPJ day, when all through the ‘Zou,

The fan base was stirring, for they knew they were Due.


The kU fans wooridly claimed “we don’t care!”

As they shook in fear, knowing MPJ soon would be there.


The alumni had been drinking, and passed out in their beds,

While dreams of 360 dunks danced in their heads.


My family in fear, and I in my Mizzou cap.

I settled in, for a 24 hour nap.


When on the TV there arose such a clatter,

I awoke from my hang over, to see what the matter was.


Away to the TV, I flew like a flash,

Grabbed the remote, my shin I did smash


The glare of the lights on the basketball floor,

Just a teaser, for what what was in store.


When what to my half-opened eyes would appear,

But MPJ and his teammates donning Mizzou gear.


I spied a leader, intense and startlin’,

I knew this must be the coach they call Cuonzo Martin.


Faster than tigers, his players came,

He whistled and shouted and called them by name:

Now! Jontay, now! Kassius, Tilmon and Puryear!

On! Geist, on! On! Jontay, on! Nikko and Van Lear


Win the SEC tourney, then win it All!

Now Pick and roll! Shoot the three! Now dunk the ball!


As birds, that in the wind do fly,

When met with a challenge, before lose the team would choose die


So to the tournament they roar

And with a roster full of NBA players they surely would soar.


And then in an instance, I observed in St. louis,

The team was finally dancing! Emotion flowed through us!


As I drew my gaze, and was turning around,

MPJ jumped in the air and threw the ball down!


He was dressed in Mizzou gear, from foot to head,

The Kentucky Players cried “I don’t want to play, Id rather be dead!”


With an incredible team at his back,

For San Antonio, their bags they should pack


His Jump shots- how they sank, his slam was a scare,

His D was amazing, this really wasn’t fair.


His smile was drawn up, just like a bow,

His fade resembling, a mini 'fro

The basketball he palmed in one hand,

He then jumped, when would he land?


A smile on his face, his arms extended,

As he came down, the backboard’s life he ended.


A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.


He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

He’d filled up the basket, near the rim he would lurk


And giving a nod, up the ladder he rose

When he cut down the nets, he struck a pose


His yell could be hard throughout he Lou<


**** kU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
 
Only one more week until the Missouri fans completely vanish from the board.

Is this kid really a 1st round draft pick? Looked absolutely horrible tonight.

I think he is top 5 talent. I don’t think it was wise for him to come back and play this year though.

He was a top 5 talent a year ago, healthy, and against high school kids. I can’t imagine a NBA franchise is going to use their 1st round pick on the guy I saw playing tonight. I absolutely agree he shouldn’t have played these past games. He hurt his draft stock.
 
He legit made them a worse team in the post season.

You can come in, play some limited minutes, and help the team. You can’t dominate the ball like that when your team has built chemistry without you for months, especially if you’re rusty, out of shape, and shooting at a 30% clip.

I can’t blame him for wanting to play. I just hope he didn’t cost himself some money.

He will be drafted in the top 5, but ur assessment is spot on at his current unexplosive state. One of the biggest problems is being the GM that didnt pick him and he returns to 100%.

On a side note, MPJ had a certain attitude tonight, like he expected his teammates to cater to his every whim, demanding a pass out of position ect, I think one of the biggest hurdles hes going to have is realizing HES NOT THAT DUDE atm and might not ever be again, but as you could see his emotions got to him in the end showing he was there for the right reason and just had a shithole of a year.

GJ to MPJ
