The hoops game was pretty blah. UTA isn't good. Missouri deserves credit because holding anybody to 45 points is an accomplishment, but the Mavericks weren't much of a challenge.

Good Jeremiah Tilmon showed up and that's always nice. 12 rebounds from him should be more common than it has been so far, especially in a game like this, but good to see.

Better to see Torrence Watson find his shot a little bit. More than anyone else, he can help Missouri come out of this offensive funk a little bit.

On a night when Mark Smith, Kevin Puryear and Jordan Geist combined for just 21, Missouri won by 20. That's good. You can't ask those three guys to carry you every night and shouldn't have to against a team like UTA.

The Tigers have another one that shouldn't be too tough against Oral Roberts on Friday night before things get a little dicier with Xavier in town two weeks from tonight. Win those two and you're 7-3 and feeling pretty good about things going into the Braggin' Rights game.

The big news of the day was obviously football related. Plenty of coverage of Kelly Bryant and Jonathan Nance on the front page and we've got some more stuff coming tomorrow.
