Matter: Read his chat Q-&-A for updates on Mizzou basketball and football

This is not a new development. Sophie's elbows have a reputation in the SEC. Pingeton told reporters yesterday that the officials were right to call her for the unsportsmanlike foul. That doesn't mean it was intentional. That's just the style she plays. Rough, aggressive and sometimes those kind of plays cross the border between physical and dirty, depending on your perspective - or what colors you're wearing in the stands. In some ways, Mizzou wears this reputation like a badge of honor in the SEC - not that they're dirty but that they play a physical brand and get under their opponents' skin.
