Like many of you, I spend last night watching Mizzou kick Memphis' butt. Most sports gurus weren't expecting it, but I had faith in the Missouri Tigers all along; my bracket thanks them for winning. (That Duke loss on the other hand...) Here's what a few of your fellow St. Louisans were saying via facebook and twitter during and after the game that sent Mizzou to their upcoming Elite 8 experience:

DURING:

• "How are we up 81-66 and the broadcast is still all about Memphis?" -ptdsp02-
• "Calipari will have plenty of time to cry here in a few minutes." -Clay-
• "Isn't the cheer 'Lets Go Tigers!' kind of a dumb move for both sides for this game?" -Mike-
• "If they don't stop showing Calipari, I'm gonna..." -Yours truly-
• "That shot was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Talk about instant redemption after that blown 3-point shot call right before this!" -Jeff-

AFTER:

• "You hear that? Its the sound of the price going up for Mike Anderson." -Mike-
• Liz is "still amazed by Denmon's shot heard 'round the world!"
• "To all those people at the gym tonight who were making fun of me for wearing a Mizzou t-shirt...TAKE THAT!" -Matt-
• Kevin is "thanking God Mizzou didn't collapse."
• "What a night for Mizzou. They advance to Elite 8 on the three-year anniversary of Mike Anderson's hiring." -miklasz-
• Andrew is "feeling SHAQTASTIC that MIZZOU is in the Elite 8!!!"
• "From Sweet to Elite...Mizzou-rah!" -Jennifer-
• "Go Mizzou! What else did we learn tonight? My bracket is in shambles and Duke is slipping away..." -Dan-

Eight is great, but four is more boys. Good luck against Connecticut on Saturday! M-I-Z-
