UCF isn't getting to the tournament this season, but MU looked really good.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Still don’t like Phillips at the point.

[petegz28]

Good win on the road.....maybe a little closer than it should have been but they held strong at the end

Can't say I like Geist much....guard is definitely the weak spot at the moment...

I feel better after the win, but after the MPJ stuff, the west virginia loss, ucf's fluke 3 and Tilmons technical got me thinking they might not catch a break all season.

[petegz28]

6-2 and headed back home for 4 straight....that could get them half way to the show before they play in St. Louis

WVU was also assisted by a ton of shitty officiating in the 2nd half. We got the crap mugged out of us and no calls.....but it is what it is

[TrebMaxx]

It's a young team. They should get better as the season goes on.

They also couldn't handle the 1-3-1 zone.

It really pisses me off that even UCF gets calls over Mizzou.

Why not? He plays with the best energy, he's the best distributor and he's the smartest shooter. He's game defensively though his size can be exploited.

Until Harris catches up to the speed of D1, he's the best option we have at the 1.

We don't lose to WVU if he was in there instead of Geist in the 40 second span where he committed two fouls and turned it over twice. That gave WVU the life it needed.

As the 4th or even 5th option on the floor, he's a solid player.

He turns it over at very inopportune times.

They've impressed me already. Can't wait to see them in the Braggin' Rights game.
