Seems relevant, as we'll be playing without him on Friday, to look at games where Barnett played significant minutes and contributed at a far lower rate than his season averages offensively (14 ppg; 6 rpg).
There's a decent sample here, as most would expect from his uneven performances.
UGA: 3 points (1-8 from floor) -- 4 boards (2 point loss)
@Ole Miss: 2 points (0-4) -- 5 boards (5 point win)
@Alabama: 8 points (3-8)-- 2 boards (9 point win)
@MSU: 5 points (2-10) -- 4 boards (12 point loss)
@aTm: 9 points (2-6) -- 4 boards (11 point loss)
Tennessee: 9 points (4-11) -- 4 boards (4 point win)
LBSU: 6 points (3-8) -- 2 boards (37 point win)
Emporia: 4 points (1-7) -- 2 boards (5 point win)
@Utah: 4 points (1-6) -- 5 boards (18 point loss)
Now, that's of course a narrow view as to his performance, as it obviously doesn't account for defensive effort, contributing to open looks for his teammates etc.
But it does show, at the very least, that Mizzou has experience handling games where he's largely a non-factor, or more accurately, replaceable. And arguably 2 of their 3 biggest wins on the season game in said games.
Would much rather have him on the floor friday, but there is a track record here. And not something his teammates couldn't theoretically overcome.
