We were good in the mid 00's, DECENT, when we had Robert Hite and Guerilmo Diaz. Diaz was nicknamed the Flying Puerto Rican and had MAD hops. I believe he was MAYBE six foot one on his best day. Hite had a minimal NBA career, Diaz is playing overseas. Those teams were scrappy as hell and went to war with the best the ACC had to offer, UNC, Duke, Maryland and NC State every game. I don't think that team had a signature win though I think they beat Duke one year.

The Jack McClinton led team should have won a few games in the tourny few years back but ran in to DJ Augustin and Texas. McClinton was all hype. There's a reason he's out and DJ's in the league.

We just got Coach Larranaga who did great things at George Mason. We've got Reggie Johnson who is a stud and Durand Scott who can take it to the next level. Tons of young talent on this team and about to come in. This is just the beginning for the U in b-ball.

Off top, that was probably our best non-conference win in school history.

It seems like a few years ago Miami beat Kentucky in hoops actually.

I asked because I see nothing wrong with a team that hasn't had alot of success in basketball rushing the court over a top 20 team. Let the students have a little fun.

Kentucky has a whole lot of work to do to compete for a title come March.

They beat Duke last year & UNC year before I think..Me personally I think early season rushing of the court by them did over do it a bit..I'd understand if MSU was a legit top 5 team or undefeated or something..

Oh yeah, true, I didn't even think about that. Were people thinking that was strange. We beat a damn good school who has National Titles, plus an OOC foe... I thought it was great to see. Too bad I didn't shell out to $2.50 to attend.

It's still soo early for me to get in to college hoops. Conference play ultimately is the be all end all anyway. These games now hold weight of course but not like if you can do great in ya conf.

Historically - rushing the field/court is a part of college ball. Sometimes it may seem stupid. While you may think MSU isn't the MSU of old; to the 429 fans therea and the boys it was big. Larranaga is going to build a decent team. Tourny for sure. It's going to take a while. I see no reason why UM bball can make moves like the baseball team did when they started getting really good.

And yeah weve beaten Duke and UNC few times over the years. We maybe also have big wins over non CONF guys. I may have jumped the gun on BEST NOC game over.. but I'd have to think. We haven't had many key wins outta C in a while.

Mizzou's chances at the SEC are gone....just found out that Dixon transferred (little late I know). Just sucks because he was a good perimeter player which would have given us those points we have been needing. We do get Jabari Brown soon. He is a transfer from Oregon who can shoot the ball.

I was thinking about this a while. Are you sure? If we did, you guys must have been in a down year and weren't ranked. Which would be a shock since ya'll are usually every year.

The only Wildcats I ever known us to beat are the Bethune-Cookman variety lol.
