That game didn't seem as close as even the 25 point final score.
*Mizzou has had at least four players in double figures in every single game. Eight different players have already scored at least ten points in a game.
*This is the most points Missouri has scored in a game since putting 116 on Central Arkansas in 2010. Which means it is the most Missouri has ever scored as a member of the SEC.
*All of that means this team is going to be fun to watch. I doubt there will be many more 25 point wins, but they're gonna score. I bet this isn't the last time they hit 100. I bet they also give up 100 at some point.
*Here are things I don't miss:
Shot clock violations
Picking up the dribble at halfcourt
Final scores in the 50s
*I'm not sure I've ever seen Missouri play 15 players in a basketball game. I'm sure it's happened, but not often. Not one of them played more than 27 minutes.
*
Kobe Brown played eight minutes. That's actually a good thing. You won't be able to have it happen against real competition, but it's nice to basically give him a night off, especially when it's the third game in five days. By the way, he scored 12 points in those eight minutes.
*The turnovers (15) are a little higher than I bet
Dennis Gates would like. But if you play at this pace, it's going to happen sometimes. You can live with it when the other team has 21 and you turn those into 26 points.
*Only real concern is the fouling. I would write it off to a quick whistle, but they've been called for quite a few in other games. No way SIUE should come in here and shoot 35 free throws. Maybe some of them were ticky-tack calls...but they weren't all ticky-tack calls.
