Yup. Shouldn't be in this game, but we are. [Reply]
It's amazing we're only down 3 and Tennessee is 5/11 from 3 and we are 3/14. If we shoot like normal, then we are blowing these counts out. Just cold as ice right now. [Reply]
TN's just doing a better job of pure shot-making right now.
I actually think, apart from pure shooting, Mizzou is outplaying Tennessee by a fair bit. The ball movement/security is night and day. And Mizzou is hanging in on straight D and rebounding.
But there have been a lot of times that TN has been in a bit of trouble and some guy's just splashed a jumper with a hand in his face whereas Mizzou runs a perfect set to get a clean look and misses a bunny. [Reply]
33% 3 pt shooting team and they're at 50% right now. It's so frustrating, because it looks like our guys are playing damn good D, but teams seem to be on fire against us. [Reply]
Just a complete goon. Of course the broadcast team calls him 'intense'.
They aren't nearly as talented as they have been in recent years. Vescovi is the typical college player who plays dirty, too, and wants every call. Nice shooter who is playing PG out of necessity with Ziegler out.
I can't stand Plasvic, though. He tries putting on this tough guy act. He does it against Tshiebwe. He's garbage.
I don't know what to expect from Tennessee in the tournament. Their scoring is inconsistent as hell and Ziegler be out doesn't help that. But, they are as good as anyone when they're on their A game defensively. I can see them losing Round 1 as easily I can see them making it to the Sweet 16 or Elite 8 (they don't have the offense to make it to the Final Four). [Reply]
Kobe and those outlet passes - man he's good at those.
And yeah, East needs to get his shit under control and stop trying to play hero ball. He's done that 3-4 times in this game and I don't think any of them have hit.
