Mizzou women’s basketball gets back on track with win at SLU
Mizzou trailed for the first six minutes after a strong Saint Louis start, looking eerily similar to the Illinois game. But the Tigers responded in a major way, taking the lead (and holding it the rest of the way) to defeat SLU on the road 82-66. Both teams made exactly 25 field goals in the […]

Study Hall: Mizzou 85, Alabama State 77
It’s not always easy to know the outcome of a game before you watch it, and still be expected to create a nuanced commentary on it. For one, part of the commentary comes from being exposed to the ups and downs of the game flow. Watching the Tigers expand their lead to 18 points, on […]
An early transfer portal wishlist
The college football transfer portal opens in a little over three weeks. Bowl games haven’t even started yet.

Why Missouri’s upside play on Shawn Phillips has stalled
Back in April, Shawn Phillips’ pledge to Missouri filled a practical need for veteran depth at the post position. Yet over the next 200 days, the notions of what the Arizona State transfer might offer grew increasingly ambitious. It wasn’t just slotting the senior in the starting five, either. Over the MU’s first three games, […]
