Then, we pivot to basketball and break down the week that was. The loss to Illinois stung, but there were moments of brilliance that provide plenty of reasons for hope as SEC play approaches. From standout performances to areas needing improvement, we analyze it all and share what fans can look forward to as the season heats up.

Finally, we close with a heartfelt thank-you to our amazing listeners and a warm Merry Christmas from the entire *Woods, Water, Mizzou* team. We also want to recognize our incredible sponsors for their continued support: Murphy, Kinney, Sumy Trial Lawyers; Rack Daddy Minerals; 573 Tees; and Golden Nutrition. Whether you’re tuning in from home or on the go this holiday season, we appreciate you being part of our podcast family.

Happy Holidays and Go Tigers! 🎄🏀🐯
