I know I'm likely wasting my words with some but here's a few things to consider.
Tonje out for season and Grill out for half of it. Both expected to be major contributors
East out last game w knee contusion that required draining
Pierce has been battling a prolonged illness - mono?
Zeus out with foot issue
Are those five guys alone better than the team that had to be fielded against A&M?
Big picture - throughout it all Gates has been steady and has shown remarkable self-control and strength of character. Contrast with Muss, Oats and other screamers. The guys are hustling their asses off, giving it everything they have and reflecting Gate's character.
It's a real bad year, no legit big man and such, I get it, but take a breath. It's a transition year. The best for Mizzou hoops is yet to come. Top 5 classes don't grow on trees.
If you go to a game - I was at the last one - root for the good guys and be glad that you're not in Palestine or in a trench in Ukraine. Enjoy the Super Bowl.
