@mutigers1, I agree with the basic point of your argument — that Mizzou was well within the rules to do what they did. However, this article’s author was clearly not the only person to at least suggest that the move may not have been entirely for reasons of injury. To each his own. (In fact, there was a much more “egregious” instance of this in the Baylor women’s game last night.)

Thanks for your visit though, and for your passionate defense of your team. The Mizzou-Memphis game will be a good one.

i dunno, looks like you’re reading into something that isn’t in the article man. I agree with the author. Did you watch the game? Tiller looked fine when he went down, English was feelin’ it, coach wanted him in there. Even the announcers were suggesting that it was an intentional tactic. Are you gonna drag CBS’ name through the mud too?

You talk about being uninformed — how can you make mean-spirited remarks like that when you clearly didn’t even watch the game?

Not sure who the uninformed individual who wrote this was. Mizzou put in a true freshman with 5.5 seconds left on the clock, who shoots 65% for the year. the injured player he replaced (J.T. Tiller) was a 78% shooter. They had a 80% shooter on the bench who could have come in. Following the accepted rules for injured players, CMA inserted another player. The Bad Karma you’re speaking of hopefully will fall on you the author of this garbage. How they allow people who don’t research befor they write to contribute is beyond me.
