Mizzou hosts Texas with its playoff hopes on the line, the guys react to Mizzou basketball’s 111-50 opener and preview SLU, and break down another Chiefs loss with the trade deadline days away.

Mizzou is 6-2 and hosts Texas in a win-or-go-home game for its playoff hopes. Jackson, Fernando and Isaac give their confidence meters: Fernando says 6, Isaac says 8, and Jackson lands at 7.5. The guys debate whether Mizzou’s defensive line can get to Arch Manning with Texas tackle Trevor Goosby out, why Jamal Roberts and the running game decide this one, and the over/under on Ahmad Hardy’s carries in his second game back. Isaac picks Mizzou 28-24, and Jackson picks Mizzou 27-24 on a Blake Craig game-winner.

Then it’s hoops. Mizzou opened the season by beating Cleveland State 111-50, with Jason Crowe Jr. scoring 23 and Kennard Davis Jr. adding 19 off the bench. Isaac and Fernando break down the size of Dennis Gates’ lineup, Jackson makes the case that holding Cleveland State to 50 is the real story, and the guys preview Friday’s game with SLU at Enterprise Center: Jackson says 82-74, Fernando says 71-62, and Isaac says 75-62, all Mizzou.

To close, the Chiefs blew a 24-13 lead in Denver. Fernando breaks down what went wrong, from game management to Harrison Butker staying the starting kicker with Justin Tucker on the practice squad, and the guys debate Josh Downs and Brian Thomas Jr. as trade targets. Does Brett Veach finally get Mahomes a receiver? Fernando’s take is also in writing: Band-Aids Won’t Save the Chiefs. Plus: the debut of the athlete shout-out of the week.
