Mizzou Hoops Links for Sunday, February 9
Mizzou remains undefeated in Rally for Rhyan games
Well, that was fun, wasn’t it? I really think that we saw something good from everyone at one point or another in this game, and the fact that we pulled out a victory without Mark Smith or Jeremiah Tilmon and while in a bunch of foul trouble makes it even more impressive. Does it change the season thus far? No, it’s still disappointing. But does it make you feel all good inside, even if just for one day? ABSOLUTELY. (For the record- I never stopped believing)
The highlights!

If this is the game that gets Tray Jackson more playing time down the stretch, then this Saturday has been a win-win for Mizzou.

Here’s some basketball links!
Yesterday at Rock M
- Matt posted an Arkansas game thread if you wish to see what the rest of the commentariat had to say (tough crowd, some of y’all).
- Ryan told us in his gamer that heading into the game, the Tigers said that they didn’t just want to win. They also wanted to keep their unbeaten streak in Rally for Rhyan games alive and 59 fouls (!) later, Missouri did just that.

- PowerMizzou’s: Mitchell Forde previewed the Arkansas game, saying in order to win the Tigers would need to: 1) be better on the boards, 2) slow down Mason Jones, and 3) rally for Rhyan, before predicting an ELEVEN-POINT loss for the Tigers. (editor’s note: CHECK, CHECK, and CHECKKKKK. Game score WAY WRONG, MITCH)

- But seriously...
Lost in all this: #Mizzou defeating Arkansas without Jeremiah Tilmon and Mark Smith is really damn impressive. Guys like Pinson, Dru Smith, Pickett and Nikko all stepped up today.

- The football team posed with the Battle Line Trophy... without their (former) coach... who now coaches for... Arkansas. It was weird. And cool. (yes, that’s my tweet and pic)
