I doubt they drop at all. It's too early and it was only their first game.

Not much if any. All anybody cares about is that we won by 5. There will be a team or two above us drop out as well. I know Florida got their shit pushed in at home.

College basketball is all about winning. It's not football where style points matter.

I think I overrated this team.

Not at this point in the reg season, i agree.

It's different if it's March and you're a possible bubble team.

So has every other MU fan on the planet. They're relying on a bunch of freshmen to take them over the hump. Pressey is going to be a stud, but he's shown why he's a freshman too. It's too early to tell anything. MU couldn't hit anything from the floor or at the FT line. They may be hot the next game. I do know this....they're going to continue to get beat on the boards against bigger teams than Western Ill, until they get more size. MU has been a horrible rebounding team for a while.

good win

Mizzou plays North Florida at 3pm on Metro Sports.

Damn dish not having Metro Sports

I don't think this team is overrated at all. Those types of games happen. K-State struggled against Presbyterian. It happens.

This team is replacing 5 guys w/ 5 new guys. With MU playing 10 players on a regular basis, its gunna take some time for the rotations & combinations of players to gel, especially offensively. Also, Western Illinois is alot like Nebraska in that they slow the pace of the game down to a halt. We usually struggle w/ those types of teams. They controlled the pace all game, we couldn't hit shots, so we couldn't really set up our press effectively. I think the players were surprised at the pace of the game.

Yes, I can't remember seeing a Mike Anderson MU team struggle w/ a lesser non-con @ home like that, it was a weird game. But we won. And we'll get better. Easily the most talented team MA has had here. Rebounding will always be an issue w/ our style of play.

Love these new gold unis....

lol... for a minute there the score read 222-12

Big Steve went on a run. :D

God, I ****ing despise Safford.

Excited for the second half. This is the first time I have been able to sit down and see the team play.
