The NCAA National Championship returned to an SEC school for the first time since Kentucky won everything in 2012, thanks to the Florida Gators. A trendy pick to finish inside the top 4 of the league, Florida flew under the radar for much of the season thanks in part to, well, not playing anybody. While […]

From a trainwreck to the Sweet 16 is how the Arkansas Razorbacks 2024-25 season went from start to finish. John Calipari arrived in Fayetteville with no roster, built through the portal and tacked on most of his recruiting class from Kentucky. All Calipari did was follow recent seasons for the Hogs by underachieving throughout most […]

It’s 10 p.m. on Tuesday. I’m supposed to be home right now. My stomach, void of a full meal since the early afternoon, is confused and angry as to why we’re still at Mizzou Arena. That’s because I’m writing about how a small Division II school west of St. Louis beat Mizzou women’s basketball in […]

I hated writing this post. Hated it. Read my Revue and you’ll understand why. It was physically painful to hit ‘play’ on the highlights video for multiple reasons. Saturday’s game was a well-fought battle between two up-and-coming SEC dark horses. But it was also a picture of clinical, unexciting football, especially on Mizzou’s side of […]

The Kellie Harper era at Mizzou started not with a bang but a whimper, as the Tigers lost to Division 2 Maryville 89-84 in overtime. The last time Mizzou lost an exhibition game came in 2001 against the Houston Jaguars (who definitely are not an NCAA-sanctioned team). Here’s what led to the upset loss inside […]

There was plenty of reason to express some doubt over the Kentucky build last year. They went heavy on experience, had no real playmakers, and were limited in ball handlers. But the Wildcats acquitted themselves very well in Mark Pope’s first season, and exceeded most of the modest expectations. Early on they beat Duke and […]

A common dogma around college athletics is that an experienced roster leads to success, and that few freshmen are talented enough to make an impact. Well, libero Zoey Matias-Lopez would like a word, as she is shattering expectations, becoming a key part of the Mizzou volleyball team in her freshman season. Across 12 games this […]

I’m going to be slightly dramatic here for a second. I know that’s not my role and Rock M was not founded as a pit of overreactions so I know this is slightly out of place. But I’m going to say it anyway: Missouri’s championship-related goals died on the field when Beau Pribula was hit […]

When someone tells you that something is “once-in-a-lifetime,” how do you usually interpret that phrase? That it’s so good that you only encounter something like it once? Is it a rare event, like some sort of astronomical event? Is it living in a shotgun shack? In another part of the world? Is it behind the […]

Part of the fun of college basketball is watching players grow up over the course of four years. Coaches and player develop relationships and extends beyond the basketball court, and perhaps there are few relationships over the last few years quite like Rick Barnes and Zakai Zeigler. Zeigler represented more than just Tennessee as a […]

If you’re in Missouri this Sunday, the weather matches the mood. Mizzou is coming off a heartbreaking loss — literally by inches — to Vanderbilt, which effectively puts them in do-or-die territory for their fledgling College Football Playoff hopes. Even then, the Tigers may have lost starting QB Beau Pribula for the season after a […]

Mizzou suffered their second loss of the season on the road by the final score of 17-10 to Vanderbilt. It was close, but no cigar (just like the loss to Alabama). In a competitive game on the road against a top-10 opponent, Mizzou had some contributors step up but couldn’t quite finish the deal. Let’s […]

Welcome to the Morning Commute Well there’s good news and bad news on the Beau Pribula front this morning. Unfortunately, the bad sort of outweighs the good on this one.

Coming off an impressive 0-0 tie against No. 11 Arkansas, Mizzou soccer had an even wilder finish to end the 2025 season with a draw.
