Will that change the sport as a whole from being a shell of it's former self? Kind of like the NFL...the ****s being given drop a bit each year.

This fan doesn't. I am glad that both teams will potentially be better. It makes for an amazing atmosphere.

UNC complaining or saying some fishy is going on at Mizzou is rich. This coming from the home of academic scandals and their athletic teams. I hope they get nuked by the NCAA.

They swept that and the Larryville stuff under the rug quite quickly. Sad.

Good.

Anything that makes Jayhawk fans sad makes me happy. And man, do they have some jilted ex-girlfriend shit going on with Roy Williams or what? It chaps their ass something awful that he left for NC and has done better than Self has at Kansas.

"That's okay...we're too good for him"

{watches him have more success there than at Lawrence....eats a tub of ice cream}

Oh sure, they'll rationalize it - "ROY CHEATS!!!" - as the women's basketball team has to suspend another player for getting attacked by one of the men's teams high profile recruits.

I love seeing North Carolina do well and apart from any team that's playing Kansas, there's nobody I pull for more than Roy and his heels.

That's rich - "Well young lady, if you hadn't been near him he wouldn't have raped you!"

The NCAA will never penalize a championship team (they have to maintain their spotless record) and frankly, KU fans should be thankful that they're hesitant to go after successful teams (even when they cracked down on Syracuse, they didn't strip away their championship).

Otherwise, issues brought by players like Cliff Alexander could easily fall back on KU with an overzealous NCAA.

Here's our big. Let's hope.

If we get Tilmon and play him at Center, MPJ at PF, and Knox (if we got him) at SF, what do we do with Jontay Porter?

What an incredibly tall and athletic lineup. Phillips already had some crazy assist numbers for MU, I can easily see him blowing up Pressey's record of 117. Or do you see him losing starting time to Roberts?

I love that when I see the Mizzou logo now, my response is:
"Oh good, what has happened now?"

Instead of:
"Oh no. What has happened now?"

Seems pretty silly for people to be criticizing where someone decides to go to college. But they are from the south where getting a college education is generally frowned upon.
