<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SEATTLE (Ticker) -- What should have been a triumphant moment for Missouri coach Quin Snyder has been overshadowed by an NCAA investigation. Snyder returns to his hometown with his fourth-ranked Tigers on Saturday when they visit the KeyArena to face No. 18 Gonzaga. Snyder hails from the Seattle suburb of Mercer Island and the game was scheduled as a homecoming for a native son. But the Missouri program is under investigation and news broke this week that former Tiger Ricky Clemons alleged that he, Arthur Johnson and Rickey Paulding received money from a pair of Missouri assistants. Johnson, Paulding and Snyder all issued statements on Wednesday that they could not respond to the allegations since the NCAA is investigating. On the court, Missouri (3-0) last played in last Saturday's 63-58 victory at Indiana. Arthur Johnson collected 15 points and nine rebounds and freshman Linas Kleiza added season highs of 15 and 13. The Tigers scored the final 15 points after trailing by 14 with 7:15 left to play. Paulding made just 4-of-15 shots for eight points.</div> Link This game is yet another "must win" game for both teams. If Missouri wins then they will most likely be ranked number one or two when the new polls come out. However, if they lose then they might fall out of the top ten. If Gonzaga wins then they'll establish themselves as a serious contender and possibly squeeze into the top fifteen. If Gonzaga loses, then there will always be doubts about them and they'll probably slip out of the top twenty-five.
Gonzaga won in overtime by 7 points just like I said on anorther board. Great game. I wish i was there to see it.
