It's been two months since my beloved Missouri Tigers had won a basketball game. But, today they took on our neighbors to the south and beat the Arkansas Razorbacks 83-78!
It's been a miserable year for the Tigers. With the win today they improve to 6-16. My guess is they won't get to ten wins this year. But, a win is a win. And beating Arkansas makes it even sweeter. The Razorbacks have been designated Mizzou's rival in the SEC. (Maybe the SEC sees it that way, In my mind the lowlife Kansas Jayhawks will always be Missouri's arch rival. It's just too bad the gutless chicken-hawks refuse to schedule Mizzou).
And I'm happy for Missouri head coach Kim Anderson. Anderson has busted his butt since being hired three years ago to resuscitate a program that had been left in the dumpster. I hope the powers that be in the Missouri athletic department honor his contract and give Coach Anderson another year to turn it around.
