Welcome to the Morning Commute<\/p>\n
Today we\u2019re talking about Mizzou Hoops<\/p>\n
Mizzou Basketball kept their at-large NCAA Tournament hopes alive after a 78-59 road win over South Carolina on Saturday afternoon. From Sam Snelling\u2019s Study Hall:<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s a good win. If Mizzou has any interest in remaining on the conversation for the NCAA Tournament, they needed to win this one. There are too many blemishes on their resume. Any road win you can pick up is a good one from here on out.<\/p>\n The Tigers improved to 16-7 overall and 6-4 in SEC play as we enter mid-February.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Per the latest bracketology projections, Missouri is trending the right side of the bubble \u2014 but barely. CBS Sports currently has Mizzou as the Last Four In<\/a> \u2014 facing St. Mary\u2019s in the First Four in Dayton.<\/p>\n The Field of 68\u2019s latest bracketology released on Monday also has Mizzou as the Last Four In \u2014 matching up with California in Dayton.<\/p>\n The team one spot ahead of Missouri is Texas \u2014 which shapes up to be a pivotal game between the Tigers and Longhorns on Saturday night at Mizzou Arena.<\/p>\n Up next for Mizzou is a tough matchup at Texas A&M tomorrow night (8:00 p.m. CST tip-off on SEC Network).<\/p>\n For more Mizzou Basketball coverage, check out the latest episode of Dive Cuts:<\/p>\n And in case if you missed it \u2014 a great postgame interview from Jayden Stone.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Would we rather our former QBs be leading the charge to a Super Bowl ring? Sure. But it\u2019s still nice to see our True Sons succeed. Congrats, Drew, who has had an especially hard year after the passing of his father Andy in April.<\/p>\n Good for Drew Lock in what was such an emotional year for him.<\/p>\n A statement victory for Mizzou Gymnastics \u2014 who now rank inside the Top 10 in all events for the first time in program history. Just a complete team. EDITOR\u2019S NOTE: NOW GO SUPPORT THEM AND WATCH THEM AT MIZZOU ARENA. I PROMISE IT\u2019S SO FUN, YOU GUYS.<\/p>\n Things only get more difficult going forward<\/p>\n KenPom projects Mizzou to finish 19-12 overall and 9-9 in the SEC. Little room for error.<\/p>\n Enjoy some photos from\u00a0all three of us\u00a0this week from track and field\u2019s Missouri Invitational, gymnastics\u2019 historic win over Florida, and women\u2019s basketball against Georgia!<\/p>\n Plenty of good pics to check out this week from Hannah, Dan, and Margo featuring WBB, track, and gymnastics!<\/p>\n Rock M Radio\u2019s Before the Box Score with Nate Edwards and Nathan Hurst: Navigating the offseason, portal talk, and the NCAA<\/p>\n Subscribe to\u00a0Rock M Radio on Apple Podcasts<\/a>.
