Is there a reason we are playing our 2nd and 3rd string lineups instead of our players all together???? Are there injuries? Sickness????

Mississippi State -3 o/u 139.5

Thoughts?

-You figured Tolu Smith was going to be a handful for Missouri. And he has been. But where he's hurt them the most is at the free throw line. Not only has he drawn four fouls this game, he's only missed one free throw despite shooting 54.8% from there this season. They haven't let Kobe guard him much, which was probably the smart move.

-MSU's defense has been as-advertised. Pick and rolls alone aren't going to get it done for Mizzou. That's why you're seeing DeAndre Gholston and Isiaih Mosley have good games so far -- both players can create shots one-on-one. It's also why the team is struggling when those two are out.

-As for why Sean East started in place of Mosley today, my best guess is that because Mississippi State generates a bunch of steals, Gates wanted his best two ball-handlers out there. But I think giving up that size hurt them on defense -- East is -7 in six minutes. Both teams have been ok taking care of the ball.

-I don't quite understand how Mizzou goes from being a 48% shooting team from deep to being a 10% shooting team. There has to be a middle ground. If two of their misses were makes (aka shooting 30%), this is a tie game.

-Not sure why Aidan Shaw hasn't played, but I thought Mabor Majak looked solid while he was out there!

In Columbia. Can meet anywhere

A short video while Gates was at FSU. Shows how much potential he had even then, players just love him.

Dennis Gates forever

That's probably behind a pay wall, but it doesn't tell you anything you didn't know if you listened to the post-game interviews with Coach Gates that Gabe has posted.

But what's interesting is the byline is a Tribune reporter and and the end of the story, it mentions the Star is partnering with the Tribune for Mizzou coverage. Maybe this has been going on all season and I didn't notice, or maybe the Star realizes now it has to cover Mizzou basketball.

The Star is a shell of its former self and has stooped to the point of posting stories on Twitter with sensational headlines as click bait--and 9 times out of 10 the story happened somewhere else. The Chiefs are the only reason they still have a print version.

So we got THAT going for us...which is nice...

Bounceback game perhaps? Up double digits against the beaks in Ames.

BEST in school history!

I was thinking about the leaps Kobe Brown has made since he's been here. Who are the most improved players from Mizzou history? I remember Matt Lawrence not looking like he was athletic enough to be on the floor. Then 4 years later he was a 1000pt scorer on an Elite Eight team. Who you got?

This tweet not going as she expected lol

I have had Sprint and Google Fi which uses T-Mobile and US Cellular... Reception/bandwidth has varied between non-existent and garbage over the years at both Faurot and Mizzou Arena. What is the best carrier for service during an Mizzou sporting event?

I'm looking for 2 tickets for the Texas A&M game. Lower bowl preferred. Thanks.

Rammer and Earl Austin Jr didn't even see it during the play by play lol.

...as a surprise team with staying power in the tournament due to their style of play -- difficult to prepare for in second games: they come at you in waves, shoot a ton of threes, they turn you over, and "Kobe Brown is an absolute problem".

When looking at Ben Fred's story on keeping Gates as coach, there was an article about legalization of recreational marijuana in MO. It stated that it is going to be legalized Friday. I didn't read the article, just the headline, so I don't know if it is today or next Friday. Can anyone confirm that Missouri is going to legalize recreational use? It totally caught me by surprise.

ISU up 12 on the beaks at half…love to see it!

Carter Bryant had 40 points, 23 rebounds, 11 assists, 11 blocks and 6 steals last night

I might have to fork over the PPV to watch this one:

The new offensive coordinator and staff sat down with him last week. Explained their plan for him. I’d say there is some momentum in Mizzou’s direction.

He’ll likely decide by July.

Text me at 314-330-6529 if anyone has any they want to sell. Don't need a parking pass, but if it's part of the deal will take. Thanks.
