From the television station
on the line I sports W CIA 3
sports.
It is a rivalry week for
Illinois and a coin flip sends
we wanted to Missouri for the
annual bragging rights game.
It's the first time since
1979, it's been held outside
of St. Louis want to head to
Columbia to take on the UN
beaten Tigers, it was the
first time this season they
played in front of fans of
course, a limited number of
them there and at a Miller,
we'll start things out with
the steel run out, but it is a
sloppy start though 5 combined
turnovers in the first 3 now,
former Mark Smith hey he's
making it a game he's in this
one to he hits a 3 makes it
25, 22, you know emotions are
definitely going to be flying
high in this 104 bellow had a
great game tonight there with
the fancy move there into the
lane 2522 Missouri least now
want to see this one it is the
don't off the turnover once
again just converting up those
Illinois turnovers in the
it just gets interesting I
just scores 15 in the 1st half
and he keeps it going with an
on another dunk there for the
Tigers, it's Mitchell Smith
and then the other Smith just
missed on this team, drew
Smith hits the 3 as the Tigers
take the biggest lead of the
night at 13 forcing the to a
time out. But this is Iowa's
game as we see him do time and
time again he's not 6 oh run
that up back to back buckets
American and here with. One
chance he will miss it as
of its last 6 possessions
8178, Missouri wins it its 3rd
straight braggin rights
trophy. I just seem know what
a game for him he dropped a
career-high 36 points but the
line I missed 11 free throws
tonight we'll go now live to
is at mizzou arena in Colombia
and Brett bragging rights
looks really different this
year, a different look and
feel but still kind of the
same disappointment there for
the line I.
The 3rd straight loss to
Missouri and the bragging
rights and I didn't sit well
with the higher the Super Bowl
will likely turn pro after
this season, we will not get
the words that large bragging
rights trophy. He was
disappointed after this one.
we're pretty much said a
little ways not going to when
I would scores 36 point you
have to take over this game
today because he really didn't
get much help from a several
other players and has 14 a
curfew Culver has 19 but a
other night a different 6
players were in double figures
only 3 tonight and it really
got late. There down to a
3 throws just 60% from the
line that really hurt him
tonight, they got out
rebounded as well in Illinois
commits 25 personal fouls
there The 2 of them in the
game I know a lot of fans not
happy with the rest tonight.
Maybe deservedly so great and
we didn't want to talk about
that after the game and fear
getting a fun, not a lot to do
that for the Big 10 rules, but
overall was just disappointed
with the a lot effort tonight
like Did not come up with any
points on 5 of its last 6
possessions.
Don't make free throws the
ball hit you in your hands and
the public. You've got a dunk.
You know we we turn it over.
You can't you can't we
know. 3rd over despicable
takes. I mean just just
literally did take that ball
talk to us and and missed 2
free throws and. A great play
the public. It's frustrating.

nonconference portion of the
