BASKETBALL Mizzou's Defense Is Struggling Due To ____

How would you fill in the blank? Once the opposition is able to set their half-court offense, they appear to have their way. Is that because of our lack of size? Is there a flaw in their scheme? Is it lack of communication and not enough comfort in playing with each other? I'm searching for answers....

It appears that Gates is not so concerned on the sidelines, so should I stop being concerned?

BASKETBALL So, we found out we aren’t ready for top 10 competition

Doesn’t mean the season is over. I never expected a W in this one anyway. 95-67 is the same thing as 95-94 would’ve been.

A roster constructed in ten weeks over a summer is 9-1 with the only L against the #6 team in the country. I’ll take that.

Look, if we’re able to spend any amount of time on the bubble in mid to late February, then this season was a wild success, whether we make the tournament or not.

It’s game number ten in year number one. Relax.

BASKETBALL POSTGAME THREAD: BORDER WAR

Talking to Bill Self first:

-"The crowd was very welcoming. But in all seriousness, you want to play in environments that care. Mizzou showed out today. I thought the crowd was really, really good."

-Self said they wanted to eliminate Kobe Brown from going right and limit D'Moi Hodge from catch-and-shoot 3s.

-Self is asked if he had any advice for Dennis Gates. Self said not really, Gates is a good coach and has already won 9 games. He said this game wasn't going to define either team.

Post Game Thoughts

Sitting in section 217 at the under 4 and the end of this game is already written. Before I say this I need to qualify that I am happy Gates is the coach and long term he is the right guys. But today was one of the worst coaching jobs I have ever watched. Every time a guy gets hot he takes them out but more on that.

Unfortunately these guys are exactly who I thought they were coming into the season and just looked good against terrible competition. There is a reason East couldn’t compete in D1 and had to go Juco., he just isn’t good. Gholston is a joke. There were stretches he just shot us out of the game. If you are going to have a guy play 1 on 5 it should be Mosley. The only decent stretches this team has are with Gholston sitting out. Here are the guys that can play P6 ball. Kobe, Hodge, Mosley, Honor, Shaw, Carter, and DeGray and Gomillion in short spells on defense. So Gates minutes and usage is just puzzling. How does he sit a 40/50/90 guy. How does he take Hodge and Honor out every time they get hot? I think he is need to give an answer of what is going on with Mosley. Gates will be fine long term as he is collecting talent and by next year we shouldn’t have the all horizon league team, but this was painful.
