Today we’re talking astir Mizzou Hoops and Mark Mitchell
Missouri Basketball originates their NCAA Tournament tally connected Friday nighttime vs Miami (FL). The Tigers received a favorable tie by nan action committee by being placed successful nan St. Louis region arsenic a No. 10 seed.
I deliberation it’s adjacent to opportunity that Mizzou deserved a No. 10 seed, but they surely were highly fortunate to tie STL. This is an opportunity Dennis Gates must capitalize connected — particularly really past play ended successful Wichita vs Drake.
Miami (FL) is still a flimsy favourite for a logic arsenic they’re nan No. 7 seed and were 25-8 (13-5 ACC). While Mizzou has mislaid 3 games successful a statement coming successful — nan Tigers will arguably person nan champion subordinate connected nan tribunal connected Friday nighttime astatine nan Enterprise Center successful Mark Mitchell.
According to Sports Illustrated, Mitchell ranks 28th among their 68 champion players successful nan NCAA Tournament.
Mitchell started his profession arsenic a domiciled subordinate astatine Duke but has turned into a prima astatine Mizzou, emerging arsenic a constituent guardant of sorts who leads nan Tigers successful points, rebounds and assists. He lives astatine nan free propulsion line, attempting 8 shots from nan kindness stripe per game, and is simply a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses pinch his spot and physicality.
Mitchell is playing astatine an highly precocious level to extremity his assemblage profession — becoming nan first Mizzou subordinate since Derrick Chievous to people 32+ points successful back-to-back games.
He deserves an NCAA Tournament triumph arsenic a Missouri Tiger.

And while he won’t beryllium location connected nan court, different aged friend will beryllium cheering connected nan Hurricanes: Marcus Allen, erstwhile Mizzou Tiger, will watch from nan sidelines. Allen transferred to Miami aft past season, but was ruled retired for nan remainder of nan play successful December aft being diagnosed pinch non-Hodgkins lymphoma. As a reminder, you tin donate present to his GoFundMe to support his crab treatments.
Win aliases suffer connected Friday nighttime — this is nan astir important point to support successful mind. We’re wishing nan champion of luck to Marcus. Go hit cancer.
I wouldn’t expect that aforesaid benignant of crippled this time. These 2 teams are overmuch much evenly matched. So I would expect a adjacent affair, provided 1 teams discourtesy doesn’t conscionable wholly wantonness them.
Expect a adjacent crippled connected Friday nighttime arsenic Miami comes successful arsenic 1.5-point favorites.
