Nick Honor is a mother****ing closer

BOOM that 3 was HUGE

last 5 points huge

Honor is just clutch, baby!

I respectfully disagree.

I think Mizzou's defense over the course of the season has been much worse than Tennessee's offense has.

Tennessee's defense and Mizzou's offense are comparable in terms of performance over the course of the year (both are at least top 10 if not higher depending on what #s you look at).

I think Gates has done a great job year 1 trying to overcome the shortcomings of the situation he's inherited and if he's doing this already, as well as being a notoriously good recruiter at FSU, Mizzou will be in great shape next year and in the future.

Gates has been squeezing every possible drop he can out of this roster. Tennessee's roster is better constructed than Mizzou's(that's what happens when you have a competent coach who has been in place for 8 years vs a good coach in year 1 taking over a shit show).

And, **** Tennessee. I despise their fanbase.

OFf tennessee

mizzou ball

unless we get ****ed

**** yeah, Hodge!

ROFL HAIL MARY PASS

that should be shots, timeout my ass in the air wtf

Brown baby

What a gutsy win. Typical for Mizzou.

Feels so good to proudly wear my Mizzou gear out and about again. What a win!

What a great freaking win!! So so so impressed with the job Dennis Gates has done. Getting a wide open shot out of seemingly every timeout is just great coaching. What an exciting team, and they've got tons of heart.

A victory tomorrow will be a tough accomplishment, but they've got a puncher's chance. You never know what could happen.

24-8, 4th seed in SEC Tourney, 6 top 25 wins, Florida is the only bad loss, 11-7 in conference play, SEC tourney semi finals

Rankings at time of loss:
#6 KU
#13 Arkansas
#4 Alabama
#25 Texas AM x2
19-9 Auburn
18-10 Mississippi State
14-14 Florida - bad loss

We have some pretty damn good wins (rankings at time of win)

Illinois - 16th
Kentucky - 17th
Arkansas - 25th
Iowa State - 12th
Tennessee - 5th
Tennessee - 17th

So 1 bad loss and it was to a current .500 team.

We should be a 5 at worse.

****. Your. 9. Seed. Joe. Lunardi.

Our new AD killed that hire.

HCDG with the contract extension too.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Missouri announced Friday night that the University and head men’s basketball coach Dennis Gates have agreed to a contract extension.

Gates’ contract was extended through the 2028-29 season, and his salary will increase to $400,000 in the 2023-24 season. The pay raise includes annual increases of $100,000 for each season through the life of the agreement.

I mean surely he's not making only $400k a year right?

NVM, he will be making $4 mil a year next year with annual $100k raise. $4 mil a year would have put him tied for 10 in men's bball coaching salary. He was only making $2.5 mil this year.


Good on Mizzou for giving him a raise/extension when they didn't have to. Keep this dude happy.

https://mutigers.com/news/2023/3/10/...nis-gates.aspx

COLUMBIA, Mo. – The University of Missouri Board of Curators voted unanimously Thursday to approve a contract extension through the 2028-29 season for Whitten Family Men's Basketball Head Coach Dennis Gates.

"When he came here, Dennis Gates talked about building a championship culture, and he is doing just that," said Michael Williams, chair of the Board of Curators. "He is an individual with high standards and a clear vision for our student athletes. It has been an exceptional season, and the Board is very excited to witness our program build on this success."

Gates, whose original contract ran through the 2027-28 season, will see his annual salary increase to $4 million in 2023-24, with $100,000 increases each season through the life of the amended agreement. All other terms of his original contract remain the same.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Just a few hours after guiding Missouri to the Southeastern Conference tournament semifinals, first-year Tigers coach Dennis Gates received a one-year contract extension. It pushes his salary from $2.5 million to $4 million next season, the school announced Friday, not long after the Tigers beat Tennessee 79-71 in the SEC tournament quarterfinals.

On Thursday, the UM System Board of Curators unanimously approved the addendum to Gates's contract that extends his initial deal through the 2028-29 season. Under the new contract, his guaranteed salary also increases $100,000 each year. Just in case other schools try luring him away from Columbia, the new contract increases his buyout to $25.5 million should he leave for another job in 2023-24. MU would owe him the same amount if he's fired within the next year without cause. The buyout decreases each year based on how much money is left on his contract.

Lol. Beat me to it

I didn't realize how trash of a team Arky is. Arky Fan was talking a METRIC TON of **** just a bit ago about their coach, "NBA" players, players stolen FROM Mizzou, etc. WTF happened?

$25.5M BUYOUT! Wow. Kudos to the AD and rest of the Admin for moving fast. He deserved it.

Arkansas fan is worse than KU fan. Those ****s haven't won anything, but act like they are the creme de la creme.

I would like to see what she could do with a football hire. She’s earned it.

Kudos to Missouri. I don't know how you are doing it. When you played Kansas I thought that was the worst team we played all year. I still think your coach is smoke and mirrors though since he is a terrible defensive coach. Gimmicks only get you so far but I could see Missouri being like Iowa and Fran McCaffrey level coaching. Just enough to be relevant, which Im sure is a win for Mizzou fan

Jesus, you're such a bad troll. "I still think your coach is smoke and mirrors though since he is a terrible defensive coach" has to be the worst attempt at trolling I've ever seen.

You aren't a bit worried that your coach can't teach defense? They are going to be the worst defensive at-large bid team based on defensive efficiency per Kenpom and Torvik...by alot.

When do you think the last time the #188th best defense in the country has made a Final Four. In fact, I doubt it's ever happened. I cant even find a team that has made the Final Four with a defense over 100. And you guys have an old ass team. It's a reasonable excuse if you have a young squad but you have like 6th year Covid seniors. Fran McCaffrey is the comp for Gates. Thats the ceiling.

Good coaches could get 5 NAIA players and make their teams Top 100 defenses. They do it year after year after year. It matters.

"Mizzou had a good day. I really need to go shit all over their coach."

I think he should hire a defensive consultant. Since he has no ****ing clue defensively what to tell his players. It worked for Baylor. Baylor suddenly became much better defensively when Tang was given more duties. Now suddenly Baylors defense has fallen off the face of a cliff.

They're fine defensively. Don't care what some dumb shit advanced stats you wanna throw out. I can see with my eyes that they are adequate defensively and get teams deep into the shot clock. They also lead NCAA in steals with 325 and are 2nd in steals per game with 10.5. They're 7th in turnovers forced per game with 17.32.

Some of the shit I see the opponents making is just ridiculous. This teams defensive isn't near as bad as KimPop would have you believe. You just have to watch them play.

The one thing that would help them tremendously is if they just got a bit better at rebound. They are currently 349/352 in rebound margin. Mizzou gets 30.5 rebounds per game and there opponents avg 37.3 rebounds per game. They have gotten better towards the end of the season outside of a 3 game stretch where we played A&M, Auburn, Tennessee.

Missouri rebounds/Opponent rebounds

Tennessee 28/33
Ole Miss 26/29
LSU 29/33
Georgia 28/28
Miss St. 38/41
Texas A&M 23/41 this was bad bad bad
Auburn 26/48 even worse than above
Tennessee 24/37
South Carolina 28/28
Miss St 35/36
LSU 32/38
Iowa State 25/38 still beat that ass
Ole Miss 27/36
Alabama 45/53 no Kobe Brown
Arkansas 23/42
Florida 33/34

I can't wait to see the Gheyhawks get bounced by a mid major in the tournament.....again. Maybe I will go in the KU thread and troll those douchebags after that. Gheyhawk fans are the worst. Coming into the MU thread to troll after a win??? **** off prick!

Self should probably hire a better legal team to be able to coach a full season again. Between the suspension and the stress of all of the FBI probe stuff, you’ll be lucky to have a living coach in a couple seasons. I suppose Kansas knew what they were doing when they signed him to a “lifetime” contract after dumping all the bad karma on him from that recruiting mess.

Ncaa swept that shit under the rug bro. That slap on the wrist did nothing. Anything short of a program death sentence (which was deserved) is nothing. See dumbass beaker...that's how it's done.

It's a weird dynamic around here given the Chiefs have won two SBs.

If random Bengals fan comes around and says "can't wait to beat the Chiefs in the AFCCG again next year!" ....we all laugh at him, because even if that does happen, it's 100% don't care, won SB.

Yet, this trash talk is far weaker given it's theorizing on a 3rd party team and there's just no logic in trash talking a fan base who experienced a NC last season. Just like you know how the Chiefs losing in the divisional round next year wouldn't matter at all, KU could lose in the first weekend this year and it doesn't matter at all.

Yet.. you're still under the delusion of getting under people's skin, when we'll just laugh at you, just as we did with random Bengals fan.

You do you though. :shrug:

Bwillie is kinda uh well, you know.

I'd say he's our Reerun.... but shit, Reerun is also our Reerun.

I’d compare it more to the salary cap cheating Donkeys winning those 2 Super Bowls, though. Sure, they have won, but does it really count if they got in trouble for cheating that season? I’m sure Donkeys fans will count it and feel great about it, but Chiefs fans know how they got that trophy and know they wouldn’t have wanted to get one the same way. It will be worth the wait to do it the right way. Like most of us Chiefs fans know.

I'll always fondly look back at De Sousa's contributions to the NC no matter how much cheating was involved.

Glad to see them committing to Gates.

Re: the defensive problems, they are undersized and below average athletically, and the defense suffers for it.

It kills their rebounding. And also leaves them without much rim defense.

His teams at Cleveland State weren’t glaringly weak on defense.

They need to get bigger, quicker, and longer across the board but especially inside. Had Jamorrion Sharp NOT backed out that would have been present this year. Reinforcements are on the way next year.

For whatever reason, I thought this was the Mizzou Basketball thread. I can't imagine feeling the need to talking **** in another team's thread. There's little and then there's whatever that is.

You do you thought. "shrug:

Man, Diarra just makes me nervous when he's on the floor.

Not taking advantage of their cold shooting but I’m liking our defense. East is in way too soon again though.

The only reason ku was mentioned was because bwillie was taking shots at our coach. So yeah we are going to respond in our thread. Just a weird post by him.

sloppy the last few possessions

they can beat bama no doubt

We're missing some easy shots like yesterday. Just need to settle down.

yeah, tons of missed shots

some bad looks taken too

Mizzou really needs this game for their resume. Compared to similar teams that they have beat - they don't have that signature win like the other teams do.

can't miss ****ing layups

Finally!

Ice-****ing-cold shooting.

we missed like 15 3's so far

6 of 22 (23 now) shooting. Yuck.

Just make sure you don’t let Brandon Miller drive and pass it off for easy shots from his teammates.

55 killing the run

Great, we probably lost Kobe to a concussion.

This tournament is reffed unlike any regular season game. They basically let everything go, rough, slaps, shoves, crazy.

They’ll never call anything on Brandon Miller when he drives. No idea how he always avoids charges.

Thanks for the “compliment”. ROFL

Hope you don’t choke in the early rounds of the tourney :thumb:

We need something…ANYTHING offensively out of Sean East. Except for that one floater yesterday he is bringing absolutely nothing to the table on offense

Now that was sick

What a shot by Hodge!

hodge with a sportscenter highlight 3!

damn almost tied it up!

Ok, down 2 at half. Just like yesterday, we cleanup some things and we can win this.

gates play call out of a timeout is pretty ****ing good

Seems like there’s never enough evidence to charge him. Usually his teammates take the fall for him.

You'd think bearcat would be better than that, but he's clearly not.

Shouldn't you be sipping a pinot with your pinky out instead of trying to draw me out in your own thread? LMAO

There was zero trash talk in what I said, just an observation... so dramatic. LMAO

Enjoy the 2nd half, Karen.

(and ftr, I was giving ya'll the benefit of not responding to your whining during a game and will continue doing so in the 2nd half/post game, but since you're begging for it... :shrug: )

So, back to this game. Both teams are cold from 3 point land.

that was a lot of shooting without a lot of scoring ROFL

That's kind of the theme of this whole game.

Missouri could use a "good" shooter. We've got streaky shooters, but a good shooter would greatly improve this team.

Doesn't look like we'll pull this out the way we're shooting.

Bama started making every three. Ugh

Shaw injured or just not getting any time today? Could use his length.

Is Brandon Miller playing today? Haven’t heard the announcers mention his name.

Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller Brandon Miller
