My Tigers picked up their 31st win of the season last night by knocking Memphis out of the NCAA tournament 102-91. Mizzou jumped to a 24 point lead with 16 minutes left in the second half and then held on to pick up the win and move into the "Elite Eight".
Those may have been the longest 16 minutes of my life as the two teams stopped the clock on almost every possession with fouls. A total of 77 free throws were shot with Mizzou making 30 of 45. I was at my favorite watering hole and as the game ended the familiar "MIZ" "ZOU" cheer was heard echoing through the bar.
This may be the best MU team of all time. This squad has more wins than any team in school history and is only the fourth Missouri team to make it to a regional championship. Up next the top seeded Huskies of Connecticut.

NCAA Tournament - Part Three
Congratulations to the remaining teams in the NCAA tournament making it to the "Sweet 16".
My favorite of course is my beloved Missouri Tigers. Mizzou, with the third seed, knocked off Marquette on Sunday afternoon 83-79. Up next for Missouri; the two seed Memphis Tigers.
The next round sets up some battles of giants as all but two of the top four seeds in each region are still alive. It appears the NCAA selection committee did a better job than the media initially reported.
