    Mizzou @ Kansas on Saturday

    Wanted to get some early discussion on this game. Huge Big 12 matchup here with the winner likely winning the conference and grabbing a 1 seed in the tourney.

    Missouri stole the first game from Kansas when they took over late. KU will be looking for some revenge and Mizzou is coming off an upset loss at home to Kansas State. I'm thinking the Jayhawks will be at least -4.5 here, maybe more. Gut is telling me to go with Kansas with the homecourt advantage. I don't really like that Missouri is coming off a loss though because of the bounceback situation. Still, I think Kansas at home and in a revenge game with so much on the line is the play -whatever. The opening line should give us an indication of where vegas stands on this game. Honestly it wouldn't shock me to see a Kansas -6 or -6.5 line here.

    I've watched both teams play and it seems to me that Kansas has really taken their play to another level with the emergence of Withey. Based on what I have seen from Missouri, they have some really good guards and in the college game it is always huge to have guards who can penetrate AND shoot. Still, I will always take the team with the dominant frontcourt and that's exactly what Kansas has right now.

    I'm sure there's plenty of posters who can shed some knowledge on this matchup. Would love to hear from you guys.

    that coach is going to destroy Mizz basically. his success is ALL due to Anderson the former coach.


    classic case of Coach Weber at Illinois... coattail riding..... and then eventually into the ground.

    Self will have his boys ready for this game. He is a great coach and he wont let Mizzou take this one. I predict KU by 8

    I'm going big on Kansas 1H. Missouri was just exposed defensively and Bill Self will exploit it. Thomas Robinson coming off one of his worst performances of the year, I expect him to bounce back and have a dominant game. I suspect Kansas will pound the ball inside where they have a huge advantage, especially early on. Also keep in mind the game is at Allen, and tickets are going for >$500 right now. The place will be LOUD.
