 |
| Mizzou Basketball: Mizzou Basketball has just arrived at Bob Davis Gymnasium for today's contest with Brock University. Game time is scheduled for 1 p.m. CT, 2 p.m. here in Ontario. Feel free to ask questions throughout today's game and we'll do our best to answer in a timely fashion. |
| Mizzou Basketball: A little information about our facility today. The gym seats around 3,000 people and the gym is part of their rec center. Rowing and wrestling appear to be the biggest sports here judging by the banners on the wall. They have women's wrestling in Canada as well and Brock wins titles just about every year in both. Rowing is also huge and they have a nice rowing-only facility just outside of the rec center. |
| Mizzou Basketball: About 13 minutes left until the national anthem. A few folks rolling in, including a couple of Missouri shirts up in the stands. In fact, the reach of Mizzou is large. Sitting in the lobby today we met a couple who's son is in J-School at Mizzou. Lots of Tiger pride out there right now and rightfully so. |
| MP3FAN (columbia): good luck mizzou!! |
| Dustin (Senath): Great...thanks again. We love our Tigers! |
| Mizzou Basketball: 3:00 left on the pre-game clock and the Tigers are running out onto the floor. We'll have a pair of national anthems shortly. |
| Daniel (St. Louis): The fact that Brock won a title in Canada is impressive, but do you think they would be competitive in a lesser Division I conference? I'm just trying to get a read on what type of team we're playing today. |
| Mizzou Basketball: Brock won at Air Force in exhibition play on a last-second shot, so that team probably could be compared to a low to mid-major D-I team. They lost a ton off of that team. We'll play a number of those guys tomorrow. |
| Mizzou Basketball: Starting line-ups for Mizzou: Carroll, Lyons, Tiller, Taylor and Lawrence. |
