Re: Missouri Tigers (CH2K5)

Border War Rivalry

Hearnes Center - Columbia, Missouri

The Mizzou Tigers welcomed the Illinois Fighting Illini to town for their annual Border War Rivalry game. Illinois was favored over the 24th ranked Tigers, but Mizzou was confident on their home floor.

In the first half, the two teams played a back and forth kind of basketball. Neither one of the squads could gain much of advantage over the other. Deron Williams led the attack for the Illini, and Jason Conley was the high scorer for the Tigers in the first half, which ended with a four point Illinois lead.

The second half was completely different, as Mizzou seemed to hit a roadblock. Williams continued to light up the Tigers' defense, but the Tigers had no answer on the other side of the ball. After all was said and done, this great rivalry game ended with an Illinois victory, 82-74.

Players Of The Game
MIZZ - Jason Conley - 27 points, 4 steals, 3 rebounds, 3 assists
ILL - Deron Williams - 37 points, 8-17 3PT FG, 7 assists

MIZZOU STATS
Kleiza - 16 points, 12 rebounds

Re: Missouri Tigers (CH2K5)

Hearnes Center - Columbia, Missouri

The 22nd ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs visited the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Missouri to take on the unranked Mizzou Tigers.

Mizzou came out as the hungrier team in the first half, ripping apart the 'Zags. Ronny Turiaf shot horribly from the field, going 3-15 in the first half alone. Jason Conley was on fire for the Tigers, and dropped 20 first half points, helping Mizzou out to a 15 point halftime lead.

In the second half, Mizzou started where they left off; right at the 'Zags throat. Adam Morrison picked up the scoring for the Bulldogs, but it wasn't nearly enough. Missouri cruised to the easy victory, 92-82.

Players Of The Game
MIZZ - Jason Conley - 29 points, 6-10 3PT FG, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals
GONZ - Adam Morrison - 19 points, 10 rebounds, 3 steals

Re: Missouri Tigers (CH2K5)

Mizzou isn't exactly what I like to call a good team, as Kleiza is my best player.. and he's rated 80 overall.

I figured the Big XII would be really tough to compete in, and the young players would develop.

by the way i didnt say they where good i said a worse team even in the big 12 aka baylor colorado nebraska
