Missouri Basketball on a Roll. Top 25 Already? Not for long.

Well The Missouri basketball is off to a great start no doubt. Probably one of there best starts in Mizzou Basketball for a long time. They are currently off to a 9-2 start. Well you say 2 losses already? Well they have lost to Ranked team Xavier by 4. 71-75. Who a lot believed if Missouri would have made there free throws down the stretch they could have blown this team away. As of 12-22-08 the Missouri basketball team got ranked in the top 25, and number 25 for the first time since the 2003-2004 season. Thats real impressive. Well untill the faced Illinois in the annual Busch Braggin Rights game, Yeah that wasnt what Mizzou Nation was looking for. As Mizzou went out cold. They couldnt hit a 3 for nothing. Well Illinois took advantage of that and punished Missouri as Illinois won for the 9th straight year in a row 59-75 and are forcing Missouri to get out of the Top 25. Well one thing Missouri fans can be glad about is Kansas Jayhawks, Who have lost 3 games this year. Yes the Defending National Champions who claim to be rebuilding have lost too a NIT team Syracuse and a lousy than 2-6 Massachusetts team and got blowed out by 17 to a medicore at best Arizona team. The Big 12 is down this year. But one thing is true, Watch the University of Missouri tigers to make some noise in the Big 12 and be a surprise team come Big 12 Tournament play as they will be fighting for that NCAA Tournament bid. Also, these guys need you fans out at the Mizzou Arean. So get your tickets and come out Saturday at 3 Central as the Missouri Tiger get set to take on SIU-Edwardsville.
